The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Three teachers’ desks are making their appearance in the shop at the hands of Fisher, Grenier and Under wood. (Body by Fisher, design by Grenier and pic ture by Underwood). The painters are now dolling-up the truck body. Soon we’ll see a new trash truck on the job. When do we get the cup we won in basketball? FIFTH GRADE NOTES By Jacob Jackson and Peter Sulkey We have a new globe in our school room. It hangs from the ceiling. It is a very good one. Mrs. Middleton has a new clock on her desk. Jacob Jackson has a new pair of pants for Easter. We have twenty books from the Salem State Li brary in our room. We like to read them in our spare time. We boys are glad to hear that Mr. VosBurgh is better and will soon be home. Our class began the study of Asia this week. We found out by the globe that Asia stretches half way around the earth. And another thing we found out is that Indians came from that country to Alaska. We hope we will have lots of eggs to eat on Easter Morning.

We hope to see some improvement in our work—wish us luck. Mrs. Blakeslee has been ill. We all hope to see her back on duty again. Miss Estep’s music class, which consisted of a num ber of our Hawley Hall girls, gave a recital. We are very proud to know that our girls are making such good progress in their music. The honored guests were Mr. and Mrs. Estep. Refreshments were served at the close of the recital. The Hawley Hall girls surely do miss their good friend, Miss Williams. Here’s wishing her luck and happiness in her new location. ART STUDIO NOTES At the present time the class of sixth graders are designing a model lawn. The house and garage were built to scale by the boys in the shop. The class is busy making miniature trees, shrubbery, flower gardens, and playground equipment. The senior girls are having an intensive study of Page 3 color harmony as applied to interior decoration. The senior boys are studying various types of letter ing so that they will not make the mistake of making N’s and S’s backwards. The special students are now working in pen and ink technique. GIRL SCOUT NOTES The Girls of Troop 1, Sacajawea Girl Scouts, have been learning the morse code and are able to signal a few letters and words to each other. It is very in teresting. We have two nice new tables in our scout room now, thanks to Mr. Mason. Margaret Hoptowit is rehearsing for the senior class and so has been unable to attend our meetings lately. Last week our troop took a long walk with troop 2 instead of having a regular meeting. One night we met in the gym and learned some new games. _____ ELECTRICIANS The last project of the school year, wiring the root house, was completed during the week under the di rection of Arnold McKay. This was a test and met all the requirements of high-grade work. The remaining weeks will be given over to class conferences, special problems, and talks on the theory of electricity. Engineering students worked faithfully and com pleted the spring cleaning of all boilers. They are now erecting a vertical steam engine and studying the functions of its various parts. HOME MANAGEMENT NEWS Mr. Sanders, with the aid of his shop boys, decor ated the living room of the practice house with some beautiful Indian scenic paper in the form of a border around the room. Agnes Scott is cooking this week, assisted by Hazel Pete. Rosalia Grounds and Cerise Hogan are wait resses, while Jeanette Bill, Ella Reynolds and Charlotte Jordan content themselves with the jobs of hostess, housekeeper and seamstress, respectively. YE AUTO SHOPPE Abie Rutherford is doing nice work in the shop now, folks, and wishes to announce to his friends that if any of them are flat to drop in and see him and he’ll fix them up. He furnishes free air. “Big Brute” Brunoe informed “Chicken” that he was charged for having his car timed. Not satisfied with the information, Chicken investigated and found Brunoe had been charged with parking his car over time. MISCELLANEA The home economics department is proud of the rec ognition given the senior high clothing insructor, Miss Lillian Black, by the merchants of Salem. Miss Black was the stylist at the Fashion Revue held at the Elsi nore Theater on Friday night, March 11. Some fifty models took part, representing eight of the leading shops for both men and women. Everyone was well pleased with the revue. The first year boys in tailoring are all doing very good work at making civilian trousers, and the ad vanced boys are working on civilian coats and vests for the boys who have bought their cloth.
