The CHEM A WA AMERICAN
GIRLS’ GOAL-THROW^ NG CONTEST
In the girls’ goal-throwing contest held in the gym
on March 4 the following resulted:
Out of twenty shots at the basket Florence Wells
made thirteen, Eunice Buck and Edith Masten each
made eleven and Katherine Smith, Marjorie Peters,
Thelma Doore and Clara Bozeroff made ten. each
In another test of skill Edith Masten shot twenty-
nine baskets in one minute; Margaret Hoptowit, twen
ty-six and Irene Thomas twenty-five.
Rating the contest by classes the freshmen emerged
on top, the seniors next, with the sophomores bringing
home third honors.
On the same night the Winona Hall girls defeated
McBride Hall, 25-10. Winona had so much material
from which to choose that two full teams were used.
The teamwork which Margaret Hoptowit and Helen
Adams, forwards for Winona, displayed in the first
quarter was outstanding, as well as the fast work of
Gertude Thomas, center for McBride, during the entire
game.
in the art room. The boys are doing fine and it looks
like it will really be a model house.
Our main object is to learn the care and use of tools.
We are coming along slowly but surely.
We are
finding out the why and wherefore.
OUR DAIRY HERD
Elery Leno has just returned from the hospital,
after an extended illness. Chester Pepion is still ab
sent because of sickness. We are glad to welcome
Elery and hope for the early return of Chester.
William Demmert, Andy Ides and Robert Pher-
nettene have each completed some very acceptable
boring bar holders. Philip Broncheau has completed
most of the different parts of a surface guage. Silas
Close has resurfaced a surface plate for the plumbing
shop. Ben lyall is busy at the present time taking an
inventory of the shop. The boys remain quite indus
trious even though the afternoons are pleasent and
a well-patronized playground is just outside the door.
Twelve months’ production records have been com
piled on ten dairy cows which we purchased a year ago.
The average production of the ten cows is well above
the specified requirements in both milk and butterfat.
The purchase included two pure bred and eight
grade Holsteins. One pure bred has the record, con
sisting of 9,460 pounds of milk and 350.6 pounds of
butterfat. The other pure bred was the lowest pro
ducer of the ten cows. In fact, she failed to come up
to the specified requirements of 8,000 pounds of milk
or 250 pounds of butterfat. However, she is only a
heifer, she will doubtless exceed the minimum require
ments by the time she is a mature cow. All of the
eight grade cows exceeded the specified requirements
in production. The eight cows averaged 8,771 pounds
of milk and 304.4 pounds of butterfat in one year.
This is slightly higher than the average production of
the original cows in our herd last year.
It is also interesting to note that appearance is more
deceiving in dairy cows than it is in people. One cow
that we bought would scarcely be recognized as a Hol
stein. She is all black, her type is not the kind we
like to see in dairy cows, her udder would not be con
sidered as perfect in shape, yet she was the second
highest producing cow—giving 9,450 pounds of milk
and 338.3 pounds of butterfat. On the other hand,
one of the best looking cows was the third lowest
in production. This peculiarity is not the exception,
but the rule with dairy cows.
MISCELLANEA
A POINTER
The farm boys are concentrating on plowing the
last few days since it has stopped raining. We hope
the good weather will continue until we can get the
seeding done.
The used Fordson tractor which we purchased for
the orchard work is running nicely. All the boys
helping with the orchard work are becoming tractor
drivers. . . Orchard spraying is progressing as
rapidly as weather conditions will permit.
The last few days of good weather has called the
garden boys from their work of sorting potatoes to the
more interesting jobs of cultivating the rhubarb and
preparing soil for planting onions. The plants in the
hotbeds are growing well and will be ready for trans
planting into the garden as soon as climatic conditions
are favorable for making gardens.
What effort are we to make today to develop our
personality and character? This would be a worth
while question to answer for ourselves each day before
breakfast. Each act and thought we are to have to
day will add to those of yesterday and of previous
days in the development of character and personality.
All educators have observed the sometimes startling
transition from one form of character and personality
to another. This not a matter of clothes, but a matter
born of a resolution to accomplish, a determination to
achieve some definite end which has become para
mount in the student’s mind. Ability to ignite such
flames of desire in youth is the ultimate hope of all
true educators.
MACHINE SHOP NOTES
MANUAL TRAINING
The manual training departmemt is in the basement
of the grade school building. We have nine work
benches and tools for a dozen boys. Altogether
we have a fairly equipped shop. Owing to the short
time the boys have, we are working on only small pro
jects, such as stools, match boxes, tie racks, bread
boards, and broom holders.
The boys who show more interest and do better work
are making bird houses, letter and dish cloth racks.
Some of the boys who are taking art with Mrs. Wal
lace are making a small model house. It is to be used
