INDUSTRIAL ITEMS
The machinists are mounting the marine motor that
they brought out from Salem last fall.
The masons have plastered the new concrete steps
in front of the new shops and have built a concrete
ramp at the rear of the building also.
The engineers have made a decided improvement
in the grounds about the power plant recently. They
are to be congratulated on their efforts.
Our poultry yard looks prosperous these days. A
fine lot of young fowls are coming on and the prospect
for a large egg production this next fall is excellent.
The new bleachers built recently will add a great
deal to the seating capacity of our athletic field. One
unit has been completed and another will be made as
soon as possible.
The first unit of the scenery for the operetta to be
given at the close of school is about ready to erect.
We will have to commend the carpenters and
painters for this work.
The tailoring department is turning out some colon
ial costumes that are certainly a credit to the depart
ment. We wish we might all dress in so fine a cos
tume, but fear the wear and tear would be too much
for them.
Our farm and garden details go manfully to work to
get us a good crop again this year. Is is a noticeable
fact that their part toward a crop is always well done.
This should encourage the Lord of the elements to
meet them half way.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES
Maytime brings smiles to us and success in our cook
ing and baking.
The Freshies have had varied experiences as
waitresses at the parties and dinners. We have en
joyed this work and feel that it has given us valuable
training.
Our meal-planning work still goes on. We can
manage much better now and hope some day to be
“experts” in this line.
One of our freshmen put this question to a friend:
“Is a quail a little beast?” Which shows she belongs
in this class.
We are looking forward to demonstration week,
when we will be able to show to all of you what we
can do.
Yours till next week,
T he “F rosh .”
DOMESTIC ART NOTES
Good day, folks!
Look what the wind blew in—just the “happy
twenty-niners. ”
We have just about completed some of the fancy
colonial costumes that are to be worn in the operetta
and are starting on some other things for the same use.
We were lucky last week while cleaning up for some
visitors, we found some very nice useful articles with
attractive hand work. Miss Vesper was very nice in
letting us have a bargain.
We are giving a little help also on some of the
dresses for the fashion show.
Good-bye,
