Page 3 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN farm implements in repair. During the summer the down draft forges at the blacksmith shop were rearranged and an exhaust fan installed. KITCHEN NOTES We have just finished making 1,500 gallons of saur- kraut—much to the boy’s delight. Kitchen boys are taking a veiy great interest in their work—we believe flapjacks account for this interest. The gas stove hasn’t been connected yet, but the plumbers are working on it and hope to have it in working order soon. By installing the milk cooler which cools milk as soon as it is taken from the cows at the dairy barn, the milk is more satisfactory. BREWER HALL NOTES Fred Rickard has returned to take up special work and has located in Brewer Hall. George Goujon and his campus cleaners are doing their best to keep the leaves from covering the lawn. Woodrow Ball and his string orchestra played at the Chemawa Grange meeting. The orchestra is under the management of Joe White. On the evening of October 10th the Girls’ Music Club and the Boys’ Dramatic Club joined forces and put a program on in the auditorium that was pleasing to all. Among the new comers in Brewer are the following: Clyde Redneck, Montana; Clarence Emmons, South Dakota; Marion Ives, Washington; and Felician Cal- tome who has just returned from the sanitorium in Ta coma. R. N. Service, of Toledo, is now the appointee to the position of looking after and advising our Indian people of the Siletz country, under the jurisdiction of Chemawa. We are certain that the appointment of Mr. Service to this position was a good move, NOTES FROM FIFTH GRADE BOYS We now have sixteen boys in our grade. Leonard Logan and Leo Sauckez have not returned to class yet. Our classes in geography are making use of some old, wornout geographies by cutting out the pictures and mapsand using them in sciap books. Our teacher says that when we have finished them we may send some of them to the school children in some country of South America, as we are studying that country now. We are sorry that we had no names on the honor roll this period. We have twelve subjects besides de portment and we have to get 90 or above to get on the honor roll. Jacob Jackson got 90 in deportment and 90 or above in six other subjects. Robert Strong, Peter Sulkey and Nathan Starr all got 90 or above in deportment. CAMPFIRE GIRLS The Pootan Campfire girls entertained the three new groups of Campfire girls at a surprise sunrise break fast in the woods on Sunday morning, Oct. 4. The groups started at different times in quest of the other camps. The search ended when they found the Pootan girls gathered around a blazing fire preparing break fast. Songs were sung and enjoyed by all. In the afternoon, the Pootan Campfire girls, with their guardian, Miss Black, enjoyed a theater party in Salem. The Latonah Campfire girls met in the gym Oct. 8, 1931. Business was discussed and the members elect ed Edith Masten as their cheer leader. The rest of the meeting was spent in learning a new song. The meeting was adjourned by giving the Campfire code. GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION The girls’ volleyball tournament ended Friday evening, October 16. For division one the sophomores were champions, winning eight out of nine games. For division two the eighth graders are the champions, winning eight out of nine games. High school classes were in division one. Their games were as follows: Frosh won three and lost six, sophies won eight and lost one, junior won three and lost five, and the seniors won three and lost six. The younger students were very enthusiastic over volleyball so they were given a chance to try their skill in division two. The captains for division two were: Fifth grade, Etheline Pabowena; sixth grade, Norma Hilburn; seventh grade, Louise Adams; eighth grade, Henri etta Headdress. The games for division two were as follows: Fifth grade won two and lost seven, sixth grade won four and lost five, and the eighth grade won eight and lost one. We are all anxiously looking forward to volleyball next year for we certainly enjoyed it, thanks to our teacher, Miss Trevvett. The next sport to follow will be basketball. MISCELLANEA The new 1000 point system went into effect at Haw ley Hall on Oct. 1. The installation of the system has aroused the interest of the girls to a remarkable degree. Keep it up girls, you are doing fine. The sheet metal class is making vents for the gas stove in the students’ kitchen. Last week they con nected up the new gas stove and water heater in Mr. Turney’s cottage to replace a wood stove which was condemned. The Boys’ Music Club furnished music for the school dance in the new gymnasium on Saturday evening Oct. 4th. The dance band of the club includes the following members: Carl Whitman, Donald Brown, Peter Paquette, Alvin Amera, Robert Thomas, Bruce McKay, Charles Huber, Dennis Brown, John Peltier, Victor Smith and Collins Anderson. The carpenter boys are now studying factory meth ods in furniture production. The projects for this study are to be utilized by the home economics and painting departments. . . . Andrew Peterson and Eustace Markishtum are setting up a high standard of perfection in shop production which is being followed by several other teams. The sophomore class held their first meeting in the auditorium, October 13, to elect class officers. The following were elected: President, Leonard Vivette; vice-president, Florence Allman; secretary, Stella Fox; treasurer, Irene Thomas; sergeants-at-arms, Helen Adams and Alphonse Hoptowit; song leader, Alma Hawley, and yell leader, John Peltier.
