THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 4 INDUSTRIAL ITEMS boy SCOUTS The painters are painting the play-shed at the small girls’ building. The new electric line for the electric sterilizer at the hospital is about completed. Grain for re-seeding the crops injured by the frost is being cleaned for planting. The carpenters are gaining some valuable experience in roof construction these days They have learned to stick to a wet roof and that is no small accomplish ment. The Superintendent of Industries wishes to an nounce that where boys find their detail changed it is for their own good, as information concerning an allied subject is sure to be of value to you later on. Plans are in preparation for an outside bath and toilet at Mitchell Hall to be erected by our own me chanics some time this summer. When this work is completed it will add materially to the available space at Mitchell Hall and will greatly improve the sanitary condition of the building. Work has started on the enlargement of the surgery at the hospital. The plumbers are removing piping and fixtures and they will be followed by the masons, who will remove a brick partition wall, and they in turn will give way to the painters who will finish all in white enamel. This work will enlarge the surgery and give a great deal more light and room than was pos sible before. Scout Kendall Northrup and Scout Aaron Sookum were appointed Troop Scribes.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES Be economical with everything. Why? This is Thrift week. We have been trying to be thrifty in our department. One way we have discovered is to keep a budget. That is, we plan how our money should be spent before we actually spend it. In this way we can check back over our accounts and find where our money can be of most use. The ninth grade served a dinner made up of foods suitable for children. We invited eight little Hawley Hall girls to help eat the dinner. They were quiet during the meal but before they went home became very talkative. A change like this adds interest to our work and gives practical experience. The sixth grade served a very nice meal to the bas ketball players from Washington Highschool. Last week Agnes Kennedy made the best looking cake that has been made this year. Those who were fortunate enough to taste it said it was as good as it looked. This is our last week here so we will bid you fare well and make way for the eighth grade. As ever, T he H appy J uniors . JUNIOR NOTES Mrs. Whelan told us a good bear story last week during assembly. Everybody seemed to be interested, even the small boys and girls. Jacob Atkins, former captain of company B, is now taking charge of company A. Edward Trust has charge of company B at present. William McMaster and Orsen George are trying out for track. We hope to see our “dark horse” McMas ter in action again in the inter-class track meet this spring. Robert Fielder, one of our prominent Juniors, is ill at the hospital. Several of our boys have been sick this year, and we haven’t had full attendance in school for a while. Last Sunday the commissioned officers of the boys’ battalion drilled company C in the gym after chapel. Then after the drill Mr. Bent called them over for eats. This Sunday the officers will have to set ’em up to Mr. Bent. DETAIL FOR WEEK Sunday escort for girls, February 1 McBride Hall Winona Hall Teacher No. 3 General Mechanic Painter H. M.
