The V&ENLKMK AMERICAN MoBRIDE HALL NOTES Flu! Wonder if most of us were lucky not to get it. Mrs. Peacher and Miss Clarke were unfortunate to get the flu at the same time. We want to thank Mrs. Sanders for helping Miss Clarke before she came down. We also appreciate Miss Richardson’s and Miss Wentzel’s help too. Last, but not least, we thank Mr. LaVatta for com plimenting us on the way we girls were carrying on while both of our matrons were ill, so look out, McNary Hall we’re right at your heels, remember; “There’s another Injun to bite the dust.” - AUTO MECHANIC SHOP We are back in the shop again after the terrible epi demic which seized Urban Brunoe, “Chicken” Solo" mon, and even our instructor, Mr. Hicks, Our most outstanding helper, “Abe” Rutherford, says now that he has spectacles nothing will happen to him. MISCELLANEA The boys at the shoe shop have done well in spite of many sick calls—241 pairs of shoes repaired in 12 days; and some harness repairing also done. The painters have completed staining and varnish ing 48 benches for the Catholic church. We have been painting and enlarging a few Thunder Birds to be placed in the students dining room. While the seventh graders were studying the “King Arthur” stories we made a study of “Sir Galahad,” the noble prince. When Gertude Dupree returned from the hospital, after she was well from the flu, she brought with her a beautiful story about “Sir Gala- had.” She found this story in a magazine and was glad to have us all hear about it. On Friday, February 19th, Mae Beaumont took charge of the seventh grade home-room work in discuss ing the rules for right conduct. The following girls vol unteered to talk and give their views on each rule read: Clara Bremner, Gladys Majhor, Mildred Lozeau, Dor othy Adams, Nancy Williams, Marjorie Peters and Ardis Owens. LOCAL St. Patrick’s Day is the next special calendar event. Outside farm work will soon be the order of the day. The hospital staff report their joy that the flu epi demic is at last over. They have license to rejoice. Mrs. Larsen reports that she is happy to report that the students’ dining hall is again fully occupied, after the recent flu epidemic. Section 3 of the sophomore class in domestic science gave a dinner yesterday, each girl of the class being privileged to invite a friend. It proved a memorable affair. Page 3 Miss Trevvett and Mrs. Wallace spent a recent week-end at Portland and made a side trip to Mount Hood to enjoy the ski tournament which was in session at the time. Mrs. Melovidoff and Miss Strauch were on duty at the students’ dining hall recently in the absence of Mrs. Larsen and Mrs. Rodgers, the latter being off duty on account of illness. We are indebted to the Indian Office in Washington for a most acceptable list of music of George Washing ton’s time, and in addition much interesting historical data concerning “The Father of His Country.” I wish to take this opportunity through The Chema- wa American to ihank the home management teachers for helping out in the dining hall while so many of the students and one of the matrons were sick.— M r . B oyes . Washington’s Birthday was a lovely day at Che- mawa and the holiday was enjoyed by all. Tbe stu dents enjoyed what is locally known as a “lawn social.” They seemed to have enjoyed themselves to the utmost. The Wigwam was the scene of an entertainment of the visiting teams from the University high school, Eugene, and the Deaf School, Salem, together with our own teams, after the games last Friday evening. A delicious dinner was served. Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Brace, now of Portland, were visitors on Washington’s Birthday. For several years this estimable couple were employed at this school, where they will always be welcomed by the “old- timers.” Mr. and Mrs. Brace took up their residence in Portland something like fifteen years ago. Chemawa Y. W. C. A. Girl Reserves had six repre sentatives at the state meeting held in Salem last Sat urday. Our girls made the favors for the banquet tables; Melba Arnoux gave a solo, “Indian Music;” the theme of the conference was, “Opening Windows in a Modern world.” Misses Eakin and Judd attend ed as did the following young ladies of the Reserves: Christine Muller, Florence Allman, Verna Starr, Essie Bedard, Evangeline Gillette and Agnes Scott. The farmers are already busy at spring plowing. The agricultural department has just received a quan tity of spraying material and we are informed that work is already in progress, thus insuring a good yield from our orchards. Mr. Ratzburg and Mr. Foot are co-operating in caring for the orchards. Jalmer Starving Bear, Leonard John, and James Andrews are taking a most active interest in caring for the hogs and are planning to do the bulk of this work in order to relieve Mr. Foot for orchard work.
