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?

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

of good hard practice and a good season of baseball.
