- "Four years in the lives of four home economics students at Iowa State University."
This swell little educational video was once the subject of a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode. I believe it is actually on one of the MST3K Shorts DVDs.

My 10th grade home economics teachers taught us household budgeting, nutrition and balancing our bank accounts. It was in 1971 and it was the most useful course i ever had.
Yeah...my mom graduated hs in 1974. She talked about all she learned in home economics like sewing, taking care of babies, budgeting, etc. I learned not to have too much sugar and how to cook basic recipes and that was it. I wish they had taught us more.
Hold it ... I'm a student at Iowa State and I recognize some of the campus buildings. Home Ec Hall is called MacKay Hall now, but it looks the same!
Wow this is the oldest comment I’ve ever seen on TH-cam.
I'm 28 and never learned these things. My school never taught us and my mother raised me as a single mother and was constantly working. Learned a couple things from my grandmothers, but not much because they were working full time too. So these videos have taught me more then the 13 years of my education ever did.
Same here. I even went to university, but had no idea about cooking, cleaning and my budgeting was making ends meet from the 15th of each month until the next month.
Than gained interest in baking as a hobby. My husband gave me involuntary motivation than he said you are grade A in baking, but cooking is rather a C.
So I caught up with that and since the inflation eats up our ressources budgeting is a thing now.
Life is great teacher but I would rather have learned in advance.
@kehya My mom couldn't believe that all I learned in home economics was literally how to bake cookies. She felt they should teach us sewing, child care , etc. even if it was boys and girls. It's no wonder so few people my age know how to sew or even cook decent food!
I learned how to make tortillas by hand. That's all I remember. Oh and I changed a baby doll diaper.
Home Economics wasn't even offered in my schools.
Never had home economics. Once I became wife and mother I wished that I was tought everything about home econo
Nowadays it seems things are more important than people.
The delivery of this information is antiquated but useful. These things are life skills and should be taught at school. To all genders of course... After all we all need to know how to feed ourselves and wash our clothes. Lol
When I was in middle school (in the late 70s) all students had to take BOTH Home Ec and Shop. They believed boys should know how to do at least some cooking and sewing, and girls should know how to use tools and fix things for themselves. It gave us all valuable skills.
@@michaelcornett444 shop was useful. By the time I was in high school (2000) they had just started phasing them out. We still had auto shop, but wood shop was long gone because of idiots getting hurt.
I wish things were still like this! Simple!
Your life can be as simple or as complicated as you make it.
I'm taking courses on textile technology for college, this video is so inspiring because I love all vintage and hearing this tackle something about my course made me so happy. Thanks for sharing! 💛
men and women are (or were) equal in DIGNITY. We are just separate in our roles and in how we function. "he" and I are meant to work as a team, with his strengths covering my weaknesses and my female strength shielding his weaknesses.
Ray Sunshine, because somebody has to make the casseroles.
Wow this video is old, I'm here may 2020
This video is simply priceless. Lets play name that campus building, as not a lot has changed in 55 years.
Love these, so wholesome.
Young people well dressed in modest clothes, sadly unheard of now. I love the importance this film correctly gives to family, children, nutritious meals, cleaning, sewing. It's profoundly sad what effect feminism has had. So many comments here show it, laughing at wholesome traditional roles. As if Home Economics skills aren't worthwhile or that preparing for a family is a "waste of college" too. So sad and so ignorant.
They might not be laughing now during covid when they can’t mend their clothes or cook while in lockdown 😅
Welp, Here we are later and we had to learn the hard way.
"Today, I'd like to tell you about several girls I know very well." Tom Servo: "And why I'm being fired."
Look look look at my crotch
"For quantity cookery, use the makery bakery"
I believe this is one of the very first riffed shorts ever.
Highly informative for that time period, I must say.
Iowa State, the High School after High School.
Anyone notice they have just one voice actress dubbing all the women?!
emlodik Because "voiceover actor" is a manly career requiring mansplaining skills.
If there is a similar video like this for young men, I'd like to see it too.
There is, it’s called Dirty Jobs, by Mike Rowe lol. It’s a great show.
Even though I had home ec when I was in school back in the 70's, I chose not to be a wife and a mother. I was raised in a family of eight kids. Six brothers, one sister, and myself. Four of my brothers are mentally handicapped. (Unfortunately, one of them passed away back in July of 2000.) I don't have the time, money, or even the patience to devote to raising a child. My religious beliefs have a lot to do with it as well.
But I still had to learn how to cook.
Lol, "Alice was really going to town on her physics assignment"

No I knew they were there, my mother was born in 1925, she was at home, nobody forced me, but by force is not how feminism won. My point don't underestimate feminism's impact on young minds. Feminism taught me to disdain my mother's role. I bought it, I lived that life & I know. My life is real, not a statistic & don't minimize the fact that I lost decades of it because of feminism. It influenced me in a very harmful way & I understand the damage now. Feminism is not about rights & choices.
The fact that u could stay at home under feminism but women couldn't under under traditional rule says a lot
Very true!!
14:16 "LOOK! LOOK! LOOK AT MY CROTCH!"

The MST3K episode of this has been posted
The ending of the chapter is sad to me.
One more thought, there was always a conflict inside me. I LOVED my home ec class, sewing a skirt & apron. My best memory is making lunch & nervously serving it to our coaches. The euphoria I felt watching them gratefully gobble it down was an experience that was never eclipsed by any other accomplishment in school. But I stuffed those feelings down, because I learned that I shouldnt enjoy THAT, it's archaic. But how tragic! Feminism is at fault for blackening that wonderful moment for me.
That's strange - I was taught that feminism gave us the CHOICE of what we wanted to do. I was also taught that motherhood and home economics were JUST as important as "men's work", and so if that was truly what I wanted that was absolutely fine.
I'm so sorry that someone who was confused about what feminism was gave you the wrong idea and made you feel that way.
Sincerely, a feminist
Living waffles?! *WE GOT MOVIE SIGN!!!!!*
MST3K!
I think MST3K AND Yes used this short. Yes used the football segment in their video of "Hold On"
Unintentional ASMR at 15:03 Such a soft pleasant voice.
This is a pretty old youtube video
"Iowa State College! The High School *AFTER* High School!"
A lot of girls like me in the 70s bought feminism hook line & sinker. I'd have rather died than been stuck in the "dark ages" at home in an apron raisin' yungins waiting on my husband - that's the way I was taught to see it too. So feminism DID take options away because the "old" option as you call it had been thoroughly corrupted. It wasn't until 2003 that the epiphany hit & I saw the truth. I changed my life but you can't catch up or make up for DECADES lost. I mourn it, it was unfair.
How are you doing now?
Yup. My mom hated being a housewife and said, "Whatever you do, don't waste your life waiting on a man!". We never had chores. Never learned to cook or clean. Consequently, struggled to keep our homes tidy and welcoming as adults. Struggled in different careers, always stressed out. Failed two marriages F*($ feminism. Kids are good at it though... one's a chef.
I was born in the mid 60s and I never fell for the lies about feminism! I knew family was extremely important, as my mother taught me, and I yearned to marry a wonderful man when I grew up! I would do everything for him because he was going to give me my littles, my babies I couldn’t wait to have, and he was going to go to work every day just so I could stay home with them and have fun all day with our children!!! He was going to buy us a house with his earnings, so I was going to raise wonderful children, keep a clean house, decorate our house fabulously, and make awesome dinners!!! AND, he was going to come home to me every evening!!! Then, we’d spend great weekends together with our children!!! The job of homemaker was the best one that had ever been invented, as far as I was concerned!!! I couldn’t wait to start! I hardly told anyone of my ambitions, for fear of being told I wasn’t ambitious enough, if you can even believe that!! …Well, I had great plans, but I never found the great guy!! 😢 More on how my life is unfulfilling later! I don’t have time now to explain because I’m rushing off to a substitute teaching job at age 57! 😢
Yeah, and how has that been working for the modern family now? All I see are children that are running amok, wives neglecting their husbands and women becoming more and more “witchy” ( or whatever rhymes with that). In fact mothers , these days, are wanting teachers and the rest of society to be responsible for their kid(s), instead of the responsibility lying squarely with the parents.
Same. A little later when modern feminism ramped up. I was never cruel to men but had an attitude of “I don’t need one to be happy.” I frowned upon relationships because of my mother’s toxic ones and seeing disparities in friends’ marriages that I applied blanket-wise to all of them. I saw toxicity in a lot of gender roles. Now I’m in my late 40s and shake my head at my thought processes. I’m not unhappy and am self-sufficient with a good job, but I also mourn what could have been. I know my mind wasn’t clear and had I entered into a marriage and had kids, I’d probably have sabotaged it in some way or exacerbated flaws until I was miserable. I just wish there was a redo button where I could take my current mindset back to my younger self. Ah well. At best all I can do now is try and talk to younger generations. Not to influence (everyone needs to make their own choices) but to provide a broader picture.
Whats wrong with teaching high school and nursery school? *coming from an early childhood major* :)
I bet none of the children in that preschool were confused about whether they were a boy or a girl. What the hell happened to our innocent children??
If you research organizations such as the Committee of 300, the Tavistock Institute and the World Economic Forum you will learn that this country has been under attack intentionally to destroy our traditional societal values for the past 75 years. It’s working, unfortunately.
I was watching this because of our home economics literacy subject..°_°
Not many people know how to cook nowadays tho
Those ladies were jaw-droppingly beautiful, because they dressed modestly.
And had natural faces and hair
Nice
this video was posted a day after my 1st birthday 😁
That was the whole point of social guidance films - to set social guidelines. Women working during World War II was considered to be a huge threat to the working world. That, and over half of all college students were women. So when servicemen came back, women were guided to be homemakers again, and it was made sure that the next generation of women would do the same.
i really wish home economics majors were still like this. now they're called "Family and Consumer Science" and a lot of the fun was sucked out to make it less offensive to feminists. not that there's anything wrong with feminists, but now how am i going to learn about the physics of a mixer?
Feminists have also ruined the humanities.
So guys, are you ready now to write reflection?😌
The MST3K episode of this was funny but I can't seem to find it
"Physics taught in a way that even girls can like." This toaster plugs into this outlet...
Marie Curie would have a hoot with that. ;)
That was probably the most eye roll worthy moment in this entire video. As someone who wants to be a chemist, I can assure you that Madame Curie would find this amusing. Just kidding. She would probably be absolutely appalled.
You know I don't think classes on how to plug in your toaster and the proper way to turn on the stove where what the girls had in mind when they went to college
Where the hell did they get a baby for their "sorority house"?
From the cabbage patch out back. Duh!
@fyralf today they're called DOMESTIC ENGINEER
This just proves that women of the fities weren't oppressed! They did the same things as now: went to college, got a career, and then got married later. Only they have more career choices now. But anyway, they weren't forced to be housewives.
@Marysol Alvarez and then the Pandemic hit and everyone wanted to work from home!😄😆😅
This was so much better when MST3K did it... Here... /watch?v=UoqtTrb3I0w&feature=related you'll get so much more out of this version.
Did any other Big 8 school produce any home economics shorts?
It's sad that as corny as this video is, it just goes to show that young women back then had more ambition than all the Kim Kardashian/youtube celebrity wannabees of today.
So true. So many people think they're doing something different, unique, real. And it's very true, most are very real. The only problem is that they don't have a niche. A lot of time Lets Players get compared to Markiplier and other lets players. "Oh they just want to copy these guys." Is what most hear. And sure some do, but others have a niche. A way of speaking, their personality, the content of the games and such. One guy I watch is under a million but he's gone up by a few thousand since I started watching him because unlike Markiplier and others he has a unique editing style and comedic tones.
Then we have vloggers. Some of these people are REALLY dull and boring. They don't post often at all, the video's tend to be mostly one takes with very little editing. They really don't do anything. And some people are clearly only on for their own agenda or popularity.
On woman I saw now and again is just boring. She wears to much gaudy make up and if someone says something bad about her she attacks them. Or at least she did. I haven't seen any of her video's popping up at all.
I mean I want to be on TH-cam myself, but I have an actual plan for that time. I have my own niche, but it also incorporates similarities to many others doing something similar. But mostly because the subject matter is what I enjoy.
@@Eszra wtf are you going on about 🤔
The baby was a ward of the state. Back then colleges would go to orphanages and the like and look for white children and put them through testing to determine what babies were fit to put in sorority homes for raising.
At least the babies were loved. Lots of mommies and aunts to take care of them, even for a little bit. Not a great way to do things but helpful in some ways.
And reportedly, such “practice babies” were highly sought after by adoptive couples because they had been raised by the latest scientific methods.
Um what?
Most women today couldn't pass a college level home economics course.
Cut a slit at the top and cook at 1000 watts for 3 minutes ...
that's actually the University of Kansas, which produced the founders of Centron
Even without MST3K commentary, this is still funny. It's like, "Go to college, ladies, and you to can prepare for being a subservant housewife" lol.
Why is it subservient? Isn't the man also treated like a money earning piece of meat? They died younger than the women bc corporate life was so stressful
@@pistoffpussycat5778 They died younger because they smoked.
11:31 ... Ellen DeGeneris?!
Nice dub lol
👍
Title by Fredericks of Hollywood!
Home ec major?
Paula decided to take advanced promiscuity courses in college and now she is the head madam of the brothel on Main St.
And if she wants to teach...why high school and nursery school? why can't she be a college professor?
Bc you need at least a Masters Degree and preferably a PhD
LMAO!!! Major in Journalism so you could work as an elementary school librarian.
Too bad there aren't any computer science, math and engineering JOBS anymore. :P
This is impossible to watch without the bots.
im sorry i watched this....cause now im dead.
RIP
How many colleges in the original big 8 made these cheesy shorts?
10 years ago, shit
Ah yes, the way to achieve the all-important MRS degree...
People are so naive, this is nothing more than an advertisement for what was popular at the time, hard as that may be to believe. No different than commercials now of Asian and Indian kids playing with beakers and white lab coats at MIT.
Going to college only to sit at home all day...what a waste!
ihatetaft you totally missed the point.
To sit at home??? To sit?????? No. I am a homemaker & there isn’t much sitting during the day. We homeschool & I am very much a traditional housewife. A homemaker is the ultimate career.
This thing is do damn funny! I am going to ISU right now and the next time your parents or grandparents say how awsome the 1950's and 60's were, you should show them this film. Seriously WTF!
Excluding the racism thing I wouldn’t mind the 50s. Before feminism ruined my life
lol
"Her college training had prepared her for homelife." She's a homemaker! What a waste of the college!
Which is not to say that being a homemaker is bad
My mother went to Cornell and became a homemaker -- a darn good one!
Most ppl I know who got high end degrees just ended up homemakers. Nothing wrong with it. Homemakers should be educated too.
Average cost of a semester after ww2: $600. Room/board: $690. Books: $50. We need to sue the colleges to get them to more reasonable terms of attendance these days.
If you're good at physics you looks frumpy, and if you are a homemaker and cook, you're pretty? Frik...i like math and science too much to be hot...
Iowa State College...the High School after High School
"Meanwhile, all the lesbians at her high school went off and became doctors and lawyers, so that when Beth's husband beat her, she could be healed without being asked what she had done to 'provoke' him, and then could sue the bastard for divorce."
It's plain as anything that you are 13, and an edgelord
You need to go outside and enjoy the sunshine.
