Glascock - Rose - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

I was recently visiting my second grade teacher, Mrs. Rose Glascock. She was gracious enough to lend me an old cookbook from her high school days at Waveland HS. She said Carol Marcum was the first Domestic Science teacher at WHS in 1913, teaching “A knowledge of the home.”  In the “Waveland Student” (similar to a now-day yearbook) from the year 1915-1916 there was a brief history telling about how the domestic science classes began. There was no equipment and girls went to work to make money for these articles by giving socials, food sales and finally a cookbook which was printed in 1916 by the high school girls under the guidance of Ozark, Pal (now living in Newtown).  I found two recipes I thought you might enjoy from this beautiful old book (sure wish I’d have copied the whole thing).

Marshmallow Dainty – cut ½ # marshmallows into pieces. Add 1 C whipped cream, 1 ½ T sugar, 2 stiff beaten egg whites, 1 C diced bananas and 1 C. chopped nuts. Serve in pretty glasses.  Rose’s eyes lit-up in memory as she pointed out a recipe of her mother’s Lizzie Bayless.  Orange Ice:  6 large oranges, 1 pt. water, juice of two lemons, 1 pt. sugar.  Take juice of lemons and oranges and grated rind of 3 oranges and add this to sugar which has been dissolved into the water!  

In 1919-1920, Rose taught at Old Hickory School in Brown Township under her maiden name, Rose Bayless for grades 1-4.  However, Rose was lucky to be able to teach as a married woman as many in the early times weren’t allowed.
