Table linen should always be quite damp and the irons very hot. To
iron a napkin, shake it out and straighten it, lay it on the board right
side up, iron the hems, then the selvage, turn it over on the wrong side
and iron again, fold it with the hems together evenly, then iron, fold
again and iron the fold, fold again and iron, then fold in a square and
iron. See that it is perfectly dry before putting away.
Clothing should never be put away damp, if stored away in such
condition it will become musty and possibly mildewed.
Great care must also be taken of the utensils. See that the tubs are
clean and dry; put the boiler away in a dry place so that it will not
rust. Irons must also be kept in a dry place and always put away
clean.
All work is drudgery if not entered into with the right spirit; all work
is pleasant, when accomplished with the proper aim in view. The Bible
says: “ She looketh well to her household, and eateth not the bread of
idleness.”

the illustrious class of June, 1914. You will prob
ably be interested in knowing whence we have all come, and how long
some of us, at least, have been here in the school.
As the train pulled into Chemawa one summer evening, twelve years
ago, there alighted a small passenger in red stocking, and knickerbock
ers, with wondering eyes which gazed upon the new scenes, never
thinking the time would come when he would rise to the honors which
he has now achieved, the president of the class, Reginald Downie. On
account of his extreme youth he was placed in the kindergarten in the
blockers row.
In the natural order of events he ran the gauntlet of
the eight grades without any serious mishaps, and during this time he
was an active member of the Excelsior Literary Society, and in the
School City Government, holding many prominent offices where he has
shown much executive ability. He is the most enthusiastic and active
member of the class of 1914, hailing from Tacoma, Washington, that
