Former West Side teacher, Mrs. Veronica Haile, explained the historical significance of sewing and embroidery (especially during wartime) and taught the girls some basic embroidery stitches. Mr. Caleb struggled alongside the boys in what they called "Surviving Sewing School" to learn how to quickly fix a ripped seam and sew on a button.
