THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 4 • PULL TOGETHER (Continued from page 1) or employe, it is your duty to listen to their advice, co operate and pull with them and place confidence in their judgment and ability to direct you. If they are not able to do so they will not hold the job very long. Boys, there is something else you must do; likewise the girls. What is it? You must develop right lead ership before you can succeed in any big w’ay. The best way to become a leader is to invite yourself into this desirable station by doing things which ought to be done, and which other boys and girls do not wish to do, at the time, too, when they should be done, without waiting fot someone to tell you to do them, and whether or not it is your job to do them. A leader is not the one to be always on the wrong side of the fence—pulling in the wrong direction. All of these things of which we are telling you con stitute your test—a test to see if your metal will stand up under the strain. Right there is a crucial period in your life. Will you co-operate, pull in the right di rection, or will you bean obstructionist? If you fail it will be altogether your own fault, not the fault of your superintendent, nor the fault of the disciplinarians, teachers, matrons, or other employes. It lies al together with you, and you alone. So, after all is said and done, let us urge you with all the force at our command to pull together, co operate, be loyal, and take advice from those under whom you are placed. A united pulling together will overcome anything, and in the end makes you a man among men, a woman among good women. INDUSTRIAL ITEMS Review for final examinations is the order of the day. Part of the scenery for our operetta this year has been made and as soon as completed will be turned over to the painters to finish. It is a source of great satis faction to know that these departments can produce anything asked for. The preparation of the seed bed for late potatoes received the same care from the farm force this year as formerly. A good part of the crop is planted and the remainder will be planted soon. Our early garden is growing nicely and new peas will be ready soon. The visit of the Seniors from O. A. C. to Chemawa which took place on Thursday, May 7, was a great surprise to the class. These young men from the me chanical departments were on their way from Corval lis to Portland, visiting the various schools in the valley as they went. The greatest surprise to them was the shops’ addition, particularly when informed that no outside labor was hired on the job and that the work was all done by students from the 10th grade —— down. Much commendation was expressed for our students in the practical value of their instruction. After a round of the shops and industrial departments the party was conducted to the Senior Domestic Sci ence where they were shown more work of both boys and girls. They voiced unstinted praise at the beauty and utility of the dining-room and declared that noth ing had surpassed the sight on all their trip. Owing to the fact that they were due in Portland at 6 P. M. they did not visit any other of the departments. Mr. R. A. Nichols, Director of Vocational Education, was in charge of the party and he was greatly pleased with the showing Chemawa made. SENIOR NOTES The Senior quartet sang at the Bligh Theatre last Sunday. They said they made a hit in their songs, especially the “Quartet Rehearsal.” The machinists went on a picnic last Friday at Sponge’s Landing. Six of the seniors went with the crowd and all reported an enjoyable time. We are very busy with the “operetta” and we are also preparing for our final examinations. We hope we, as well as all the rest of the class, will pass. The Junior class gave a splendid exhibition of figures in the auditorium last week. Many of them were old acquaintances of last year. They certainly did well and are worthy of praise. John Kalarak and “Abie” Stepetin had the honor of highest grades this month. They both had an average of 92 percent. “Abie” is only one-fifth per cent higher than John’s average. Most of the Senior boys have all their forty specimens mounted and labeled. The rest of them have over thirty and expect to complete mounting and labeling before the end of the week. Manager Woodcock’s team of “Midgets” played the Deaf School last Saturday, defeating them by a score of 14 to 9. At the end of the ninth inning the score stood 9 to 9. In the extra inning the “Midgets” came up five points. DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES Well! Well! Well! Look who is here. We have quite a bit of news to tell you because we neglected to publish it. We have had three breakfasts and one dinner al ready, and they surely were successes. And when we bake you just ought to see them come in and buy every thing we have for sale. They don’t leave anything. Some have to walk out disappointed, because there is nothing left. We feel sorry for them, but it can’t be helped. F reshies .
