TH E CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 4 P U P IL S ’ ITEM S It is bard for both boys and girls to stay inside these nice spring days. White uniforms are being manafactured in the sew ing-room for the girls. Feokist Rapin, of the sixth grade, got the best grade in the engineering department. The baseball players were out practicing on Mon day night for the first time this year. Mrs. Brace is very busy in the library every evening after school hours helping pupils pick books to read. John Pesterkoff, a sixth grade boy, is one of the smallest boys in the engineering department. He takes great interest in his work and tries to fire stokers every chance he gets. Senior Notes Gilbert Conner, ’13, visited the class on his way to enlist in the navy. Frank Peratrovich left last week to enter the Navy. Our room has two service stars in its flag now. Chapel talks for the week were by Mr. Hobucket on “ What the Boys do to Learn to Fly;” Miss Roberts on “ Some Things About the Submarines” and by Mr. Devol on “ How to Study.” The girls are solving problems in Child Study and the boys are studying insects on shade trees. We wonder who could solve the following problems satisfactorily: A little boy eight years old was given a weekly allowance of twenty-five cents. He spent it all on Monday. On Wednesday he wanted to borrow’ ten cents to pay his share of the lunch for a hiking party. He had already borrowed his next week’s allowance. How would you manage this case so as to teach judgment, self-control and decision? A normal healthy little girl of four would beg to go out with any member of the family who put on a hat and started out. If not taken she would scream and cry until exhausted, even refusing to eat her supper. She w’ould pass a restless night and be very nervous the following day. What w’ould you do? Why? R EPO R TER ’S NOTES By Robert Downie Louise Demacon spent the week-end with her parents at Woodburn. Our high school boys attended a house party in Salem on Friday night. The gardeners started this week to plant peas, onions and beans, as well as four acres to strawberries. The Sigma Phi girls are unusually silent at this time, so no doubt they will spring something on the school sometime soon. We are waiting! All Chemawa are eagerly awaiting the staging of the show, “ Pocahontas,” w’hich is under the direc tion of Mr. Roberson. They are practicing daily and a good entertainment is expected. Mr. Carrow and his force of boys recently com pleted the foundation to the addition to the Super intendent’s residence. Mr. Carrow is now7 putting in a curbing along the main driveway. Baseball is well under way at present.- All members are working harder then ever w’ith a view to earning a position on the team. Apparently there will be plenty of good hard practice and a good season of baseball.
