WINONA HALL
Last Sunday, after the chapel exercises, Mrs. Ruth
Bronson gave the girls of Winona Hall a very fine and
beneficial talk. 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.
