Physical Labor Was Integral to Programs
Cameron State School of Agriculture offered students physical development opportunities beyond access to team sports and other organized athletic activities and programs. On-campus work programs and completion of many course assignments required physical labor. Boy students made furniture, cared for livestock, and worked in the dairy either in exchange for room and board or in order to complete course assignments. Girls' employment activities in contrast--serving meals, for example,--and course labor--sewing, for example,--consisted of less physically demanding work. Boys and girls alike served as members of "The Kitchen Force," preparing, serving, and cleaning up after all meals.
