DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES
The reason why life is I great disappointment to so
many is that we have not been trained to choose our
thoughts guests, the thoughts that make for happiness,
that bring sunshine, hope and joy into opr lives. We
have not been trained in right thinking, and we close
the avenue of joy by allowing hostile thoughts which
bring blackness, despair and discouragement, to make
their homes in our mind. Students, when you use
your mental powers as the Creator intended you should
use them, you will not be seen going through this
beautiful world, packed as it is with everything imag­
inable for our happiness and comfort, with long gloomy
fades and sad expressions. On the contrary you will
be joyous, helpful, contented and successful.
Good Morning! I t’s just the happy Sopohmores.
We are sorry that this is our last week in the Domestic
Science, but we would like to give our other class­
mates a chance to learn about cooking, arid serving
meals also.
If the high school lunches were not satisfactory,
just speak to Dolly Hiett, Josephine Racine and Con­
stance Caisse about them, as they were making them;
but we hope there is no complaint.
We are proud to tell you that in our class we have
two very good cooks, Constance Caisse and Aleatha
Olney, who gave a most delightful dinner to the Port­
land basketball team.
'You’ll hear from the other Sophomores that come to
work here next week.
We remain,
IN DUSTRIAL ITEMS
The blacksmiths are building some iron ladders for
use in the povyer house.
The machinists have finished work on the tractor
arid have it running again.
The truck crew are kept busy these days hauling
and cleaning away various items of debris on the
grounds.
The painters have been held up on outside painting
by rainy weather. They have been busy at the sewing
rooms and Small Boys’ quarters meanwhile.
Preparation for seeding is going forward rapidly on
the fartn. The garden land will soon be ready to
plant the crop, provided there is no more rain im­
mediately.
The plumbers had quite a rush recently. Two broken
steam mains, a choked sewer, and two toilets out of
commission, all in one afternoon. They did not waste
time telling about it, but sailed in and straightened
things out. Good work!
The engineers have removed the oil storage tank at
the power house and are pumping oil direct from, the
supply line. This will eliminate considerable waste
of oil for the sediment makes the oil so thick it is
impossible at times to get it ouVof the tank.
The masons are at present replastering halls and
rooms at McBride hall and making concrète filocks.
A contest is on between divisions of the.mason detail
to see which division can make the most blocks m a
four-hour period. So far division one is ahead with
28 blocks as its record. As soon as the plastering is
done the masons will begin work on the walk in front
of the west cottages, The materials are on hand and
part of the forms in place at present.

SENIOR NOTES
Louis Dupuis, our prize speaker, was on for a reci­
tation at chapel on a recerit Sunday night. Compli­
ments to Louis; he certainly did fine.
Ray' Ray! Ray! for our side. The Seniors are
as happy as li?rks. Didn’t you see them carry off
first prize in both divisions? j And as for our rewards
two big, dfelickms. cakes! We want to tell you how we
enjoyed them.
Reginald DePoe, our former president and basket­
ball star, was suddenly called home on account of his
father’s illness. We hope he returns, as you noticed
last Wednesday at the ball game the team lafcked the
working hands of Reg.,
Some of the Senior boys and girls were very fortun­
ate last week in having the opportunity to attend an
opera at Salem. The opera was the Bohemian Girl
and if you want to know if we enjoyed it just ask Us
and we’ll tell you all about it.
Miss Judd, who was one of the judges last Wednesday
for the second division inter-class contest, kept us in
agony when she announced the rating of the outcome.
It was hard for her to tell the decision of the; judges,
but thanks to her good memory, she recalled that the
Seniors were victorious.____
