During the summer the down draft forges at the
blacksmith shop were rearranged and an exhaust fan

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

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,
