SENIOR NOTES
AMERICAN
“little” yell leader, Vernon Jackson.
Hats off to
Vernon!
The seventh grade boys and girls are much pleased
with their new pennant. The colors are green and gold
and they contrast beautifully. Our motto is ' ‘ Loyalty’ ’
and we hope to live up to it.
The seventh grade girls are getting along fine in
history. We are now studying about “Life in the
Colonies of the New World,” which is now the United
States. We are all interested in it.
In our home room, on our last period on Mondays,
we have taken up the book of manners which Mr.
Christy presented to Miss Lundquist. Nellie Rennulls
is preparing to give us a speech on “School Loyalty”
next Monday.
After we hear the speech we will try
to make our school a better one.
We need a new pencil sharpener and we hope to
get one soon. We seventh graders will be proud of
that.

Every evening a number of seniors are seen wend
ing their way to the auditorium. The senior play is
in the offing. Save your nickels if you want to see
Andrew Hatfield and James Scott in action.
The senior nurses are excused from duties on Wed
nesday to attend the food demonstration put on by
Miss Newell at the domestic science.
Salads, des
serts, and pastry seem to attract the most attention.
The Seniors extend a friendly hand to the junior
class, winners of the song and yell contest. Congrat
ulations and best wishes for the future.
We did our
best to honor Chemawa and although we did not win
a place, we accomplished our purpose.
The seniors betook themselves to the woods east of
Pigville at four o’clock on Easter morning accompan
ied by Georgie and “Pat” Bent, who were the hon
ored guests. Games were played and a few musical
numbers were rendered by several of the students
who proved excellent entertainers. A real “he man’s”
breakfast was prepared and served by Professor Thomp
son and Tex Grounds. They flipped hot cakes like
“nobody’s business,” and of course with the usual
call, “Come and get it.”
We are glad to have Dominic Dog Eagle back in
class. He was confined in the hospital for a few days.
Lee Pepion and Terrance Courtney have done their
last bone crushing on the mat for Chemawa. Both
have bad a very successful season.
A number of the senior boys are turning out for
track.
Lonnie Weeks and Jesse Jim are the most
promising ones.
We have some great actors and they are out to do
their stuff when the senior play comes off. Lucille
Powakee bears watching.
The seniors are all happy to see their classmate,
Lillian Halsey, with them again. She had been in the
hospital many days.
The machine shop has been quite fortunate the last
few weeks in having received several jobs that provide
the boys with work which they know is going to be
used.
At the present time William Demmert, Silas Close
and Allen Fielder are working on a mandril and set of
bearings for an emery wheel connection in the kitchen.
Philip Boncheau has almost completed a surface gauge.
Andy Ides has recently completed a shaft for the cen
tri tugal pump in the power house. Bennie lyall,
Rudolph Mayse and Silas Close reamed out the bear
ings and completed a new oversized shaft for the lawn
mower. Presley LaBreeche and Glenn Sireech have
just completed a set of irons for a truck box that is
being made in the carpenter shop. The boys enjoy
doing work that is to be used.
SEVENTH GRADE
CARPENTER SHOP NOTES
Spring is here and we seventh graders would like
very much to study nature. The wild flowers are very
interesting at the beginning of spring. We hope our
teacher will catch the hint.
The seventh graders had a laugh over being out of
tune Friday night. We are proud of the classes that
won because we think they earned their prizes.
The seventh graders are very much pleased with our
The carpenters are building a corner section of a
house, full size and complete in every detail, even to
a full-size door and window. All mill work as well
as carpenter work is being done by the students. They
are now able to see each step and its proper sequence
when building a house.
Jesse Jim has now completed the Coxwell chairand
it is a first-class job.
mcnary hall , notes
The group system in McNary Hall is highly suc
cessful.
There seems to be a lot of competition, being
that points are added to the group, which does a good
deal. The number of points added depends upon the
importance of the work done and the benefit derived
from the work.
Groups one and three are wondering what they are
going to do with their extra points, while groups two
and four are trying hard to keep near the thousand
point mark.
The boys of McNary Hall want to thank all the in
spectors for the nice things they say about our build
ing. It surely helps us to strive to keep our building
on top. It takes work to keep the building up, but
it is worth the work and more, too, to have something
that others like too. What’s more, everyone has tak
en it upon himself to keep McNary on top.
