The girls were honored and happy to have Mrs. Bronson over to their home. Her talk gave the girls something to think about. After the talk Miss Semanski and Miss Andrews called the officers down to the dining room. There they had a nice surprise. They treated the officers to light and delicious refreshments. The officers feel that they are accomplishing something when they are given such a treat. Have you seen the new palms and Indian pictures in the reception room of Winona Hall? The girls are all proud of their reception room and are happy to have these things as they add to the appearance of the room. They strive to keep their reception room in immaculate condition at all times. So be careful how you step when you enter Winona Hall. The girls of Winona Hall are all starting their spring cleaning early. Window curtains, floors and lockers are getting their annual cleaning. If you don’t believe it, just come to visit us. EIGHTH GRADE NOTES One of the eighth grade boys should feel that he is capable of doing some real good thinking. When our teacher read to the class the first news of the Lindbergh kidnapping he said,“Isn’t it strange that the kidnap pers would select such a popular family?’ ’ The next day “The Oregonian” quoted a United States senator as saying the very same thing in substance. The eighth grade enjoys the home room periods when they can discuss right conduct. The members of the class take turns in conducting the discussions. They have found out that everything discussed can be applied to life at Chemawa. Our eighth grade classmate, Matilda Saluskin of Toppenish, Wash., went home last Sunday, Marchó, on account of her folks being ill. We all hope she has a fine summer vacation. Sybil Archambault, one of the students of the 8A- 2 class, is in the hospital for a slight cold. We are hoping she will recover soon. Mr. Lobdell has all the classes that come to him for arithmetic divided into four groups, A, B, C, and D. We are glad to say most of us are in the A group. SEVENTH GRADE There are seven girls in the class in arithmetic of the 7B2. So you can see there are some bright ones after all. We expect to have more in the A class next week. We hope we can have all of our class in the A section before any of the eighth grade classes get all their pupils in the A class. We are trying our best. Just wait and see what we can do. If anyone has found a red book or have seen a book any where around the campus, please return it to Sam Scott. He is very anxious to have it back. In Mrs. Lobdell’s room we seventh graders are tak ing a test in English on verbs “lie” and “lay,” “let” and “leave,” and “sit” and “set,” which we have been studying for a week. We all hope to get good grades. Our seventh grade class is doing fine in our arith metic class. We have A, B, C, and D rows. We hope we get all of our class in the A row. There are seven of us in the A class. Come on, let’s perk up. AUTO SHOP NOTES Mr. Ratzburg had the brakes on his Ford over hauled the last week. Edward Abieta was the mech anic in charge. “Ham” Greene and Leo Hunter relined brakes on Mr. Austin’s Whippet recently. It was their first commercial job and proved a very successful one. Peter Hall did an excellent job of valve grinding on the same car. The entire morning class saw a demon stration of an “engine tune-up” job that brought out a lot of information. CARPENTRY Spring is in the air, but the carpentry boys still have to watch their chances to work on their outdoor projects. The class is now taking up the different methods of house framing. Some very nice furniture is being turned out in the shop. Charley Huber is finishing up a beautiful oc casional table and he has done an excellent job. Elliot Palmer is finishing a very nice table in wal nut. He is now inlaying it with myrtle. Jesse Jim is finishing up a Coxwell chair; he is work ing on the upholstery now. And Ben Palmer is mak ing the ottoman to go with the chair. The carpentry-cabinet shop is all set to win another cup in the indoor baseball. Which reminds us: Where is that silver cup that we won in basketball? PAINT SHOP NOTES The painters are putting glass in the green house. Warren Wilder and his artists are brightening the dining hall by painting thunder birds on the walls. “Cadenza” Louis is the chief all-around man of the shop. “Painting as a painter should,” says Churchill, “is an art.” The painters just painted a doghouse for “Chief Pat” of the campus.
