You will never regret it. R EPO R TER ’S NOTES B y Allan Shepard “ Meditation Hall” boasts of new skylights. Miss Hendrix and Miss Wooton were both on the sick list for a brief period last week. The school laboratory is being slowly fitted out. Before long we hope to have all in “ ship-shape.” The power house windows have all been repaired, new glass, etc., being used in their rejuvenation. Supt. Hall has had a fine cover built for the auto truck. This proved a real necessity and is much ap preciated. Last week the boys of the fourth and seventh grades assisted in ditch-cleaning during the periods of their teachers’ sickness. Mr. Welch and George Berry have to their credit an unusually difficult piece of welding which they did recently on the axle of a wagon. Roy Sandsaver is a recent addition to the carpenter’s force. By the way, Mr. Woods says that George Le kanoff has saw filing down almost to perfection. Bad weather has prevented the carpenters from making progress on the implement shed of late, but we are now hopeful that conditions may be such as will allow them to hustle this work. The girls of Winona and McBride Halls have had a lot of frames made lately for pictures. From the size of the orders we are certain that things are to be more home-like than ever in the girls’ quarters. During the recent illness of Mr. McLean with rheumatism Isaac Other Medicine and Sam Pablo had charge of their respective details and divisions in the tailor shop. We are pleased to report that Mr. McLean will soon be himself again. Mr. William Lovelace, a former employe at Che mawa, paid us a visit or two of late, as he was in Salem on legislative business. He is now living in Reedport, Oregon, were he is engaged in business and getting along nicely. He is a pretty good rustler. For about two months the shoe-repairing force in the shoe and harness shop has been kept keyed up to a high pitch in an endeavor to keep up with the work that poured into their department. However, they fulfilled every obligation and met all demands and really deserve great credit. Y . M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. held its regular weekly meeting in the auditorium on Sunday evening. Very in teresting talks were given by Wade Minthorne on “ Why We Sing Hymns,” and by Logan Fann on “ Why We Study the Bible.” The special music by George Lekanoff and Jacob Mynuk was very good. Several hymns were sung by the association during the meeting. LOCAL Miss Ella Brewer, clerk at the Yakima Agency, is visiting with her mother at Chemaw’a. Mr. Bent, disciplinarian, and Mr. Ratzeburg, farmer, and a crowd of boys, did a lot of good work last week, taking advantage of the soft ground to clean out the high grass from the roads around the farm. Chemawa boys’ basketball team journeyed to Eugene on Saturday and had a hard game with the University of Oregon boys. While it was expected that we would lose and did lose, it was a good game. The experi ence will be of much benefit to our young men. The Chemawa girls’ basketball team, together with about twenty-five rooters, as well as Mrs. Risser, who went along as chaperone, journeyed to Silverton last evening where they played the Silverton High School. The account of the game will appear in our next issue.
