CAddress all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager 50 Cts per Annum Subscription rganizations O & DEPARTMENTS Contributed from Various Sources We are glad to see Evangeline Gillette back in school again after being confined in bed with a sprained ankle. The senior girls have been working hard in the din ing room washing dishes by hand. Senior boys, have a heart and come over and give us help. Hazel Pete was pleasantly surprised by a week-end visit from her “Ole College Chum,” Ruby Dean. Ruby hails from Tacoma, Washington, and is now conquering those terrible foes of the sophomores year —botany, geometry and English, at the Fife High School. ' HOME ECONOMICS SCOUT OFFICIALS MEET Last week the scout officials met in the agricultural classroom to discuss some of their problems. Super intendent Ryan and principal, Mr. Christy, were there. The meeting was snappy and short, with success. The boy scouts are working hard at their tasks for the coming court of honor. We will tell you more in the next Chemawa American. MCNARY HALL NOTES Everyone is well pleased with our new advisor, who is a very nice man. Mr. Jose called all we boys up to the study room last Monday evening and gave us a very interesting talk. He has high ideals and wants all the boys to believe that way, too, which I am sure everyone is striving to do. Since the last notes were printed we have had a very nice party given us by our matron, A pleasant program was enjoyed by all, followed by some very tasty eats. McNary has again been credited with being the best building on the campus. The reason is cooper ation of good boys with a good matron and a good advisor. On Sunday evening, Feb. 7, after chapel services Mr. Melovidoff, accompanied by Mrs. Kleihege, enter tained the McNary Hall boys with a very nice musical program. All types of music were played, including operatic, Indian melodies and jazz. Mr. Melovidoff also told some very funny jokes which were enjoyed immensely. Altogether it was a very fine evening and we wish to thank Mrs. Kleihege and Mr. Melovi doff for the wonderful program. SENIOR NOTES Six members of the Senior Annual staff held a meet ing last Friday. After the business meeting light re freshments were served at Kola Tepee. Christine Muller was called upon to teach the eighth grade classes one day last week, as the regular teacher, Miss Lundquist, was ill. The senior high clothing classes under the super vision of Miss Black have been studying clothing se lection. The most interesting phase of study was the style show given in the auditorium on Feb. 10th by Miller’s store of Salem. Mrs. Barrett, the buyer in the ladies’ ready-to-wear department, was responsible for the style show. She brought a group of attractive girls for models and a large assortment of costumes. Neely Don frocks were featured first, showing simple, attractive morning frocks, smocks and sport dresses of of new materials. The next showing was sport cos tumes in silk, woolen and combinations of sweaters and shirts with appropriate accessories. New spring suitsand coats were shown in many new spring colors. Hats and other accessories were used with these cos tumes. Afternoon dresses with little jackets to match were featured. The final showing was party dresses, quaint, simple, and very attractive. The audience was very appreciative. During the style show, music was furnished by Charles DePoe. After the fashion show refreshments were served by the Home Economics staff. AUTO SHOP CONTACT POINTS We are delving into the mysteries of electrical trouble- shooting. . John Spencer wants to know if he needs a hunting license to “shoot trouble”. . Peter Hall: “How long is a short circuit?” Urban Brunoe: “Just like your legs. Long enough to reach the‘ground.’”. . . Abel: “How do you fix a strip ped gear?” Edward: “Put some clothes on it.” BARGAINS AT THE BARBER SHOP The barber shop has instituted a new system similar to the well-known meal ticket. The price of tickets depend upon the amount of work a customer desires, and range from one to two dollars. A two-dollar ticket if used in one month will allow a person to secure $3.45 worth of work. The tickets are for sale now and it is hoped that all employes will take advantage of this opportunity as it does not take long to spend a dollar or two on hair cuts massages, etc. The boys in the barber shop have completed their examination and most of the papers show evidence of the boys’ interest in learning the trade. These boys will have to pass state examinations, so must keep up in the instruction work. RE i
