The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Page 2 CHEMAWA^AMERICAN Published Bi-Weekly at the U. S. Indian School, Chemawa Oregon. C.Address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager 50 Cts per Annum Subscription rganizations O & DEPARTMENTS Contributed from Various Sources ‘ SENIOR NOTES Cerise Hogan, one of our outstanding seniors, was a guest at a fine dinner served and prepared by Mrs. Kleibege. Miss Newell, Cerise Hogan and Rosalia Grounds took a short trip to Monmouth on Saturday, where they were shown many interesting places about the college. The senior nurses have completed their work at the hospital. They will next be seen at the practice cot tage—appearing as managers, housekeepers, cooks, and waitresses, but above all as charming hostesses. The senior girls have chosen their baseball captain, Margaret Hoptowit, who has been their captain for volleyball and basketball is captain again for baseball. This means that the girls are all willing to follow her. After consulting the tea leaves (Miss Newell’s avoca tion is a tea-leaf seeress) it has been indicated by their position that the senior play will be a success. It remains to be seen whether or not the tea leaves are correct in their prognostications. The last group of senior girls will go into the “practice house“ on April 15. They are: Theresa Newman, Lucille Powakee, Christine Muller, Ruby Horseman, Lillian Halsey, Mildred Ross, and Evange line Gillette. They will stay there the rest of the school term. The following seniors, Cerise Hogan, Jeanette Bill, Ella Reynolds, Agnes Scott, Hazel Pete, Charlotte Jordan and Rosalia Grounds wish to extend their thanks to their most kind and true friend, Miss Newell, for all she has done toward teaching them the art of cookery. Their short stay at the “practice house” will always remain a pleasing memory. The seniors have been informed that Marg Hoptowit and Dennis Brown can easily substitute for Mary Brian and George Bancroft. They have excellent talent in characterization; so Pete Paquette tells us— for he too, is seen making official trips across the rail road track every evening. HOME ECONOMICS On March 10th the ninth grade, Section III, gave a special dinner. Mr. Carl Turner, one of the class teachers, was their guest. Within the last month the domestic science classes have given several dinners. Each class had some special color scheme for their decorations. On March 31st the eleventh grade, section I and II, served a buffet luncheon. Mr. Rainey was their honor guest. Beautiful red flowers helped in the decorations of the dining room. On March 16th the ninth grade, section I, gave a St. Patrick’s dinner. Mr. Fisher was their special guest. Attractive green shamrock place cards were used. Green was the color scheme. These different classes deserve praise for the dignity and charm used in serving these dinners. Aside from these activities the high school home economics classes have cooked for various other affairs. On February 20th the tenth grade, Section I, gave a St. Valentine’s dinner for their friends. The heart shaped place cards were made by Mrs. Wallace’s art class. The color scheme was red and white. On March 1st the tenth grade, Section III, gave a dinner for their friends. Green and orange was the color scheme. The attractive green, orange and yellow place cards were made by the members of the class. PLUMBING DEPARTMENT The plumbers are installing the bath room fixtures in the new bath room in the south ward of the hospital. There are three rooms and bath partitioned off, which will be used for an isolation wrard. The laundry trays on the first floor at Winona hall were relined with galvanized iron. The work has been delayed the past week for want of material to make the final connection. The material has arrived and the tubs will be ready for use in the near future. The student kitchen possesses several new sheet tin serving dippers. The old dippers were sent to the shop—they had been in sevice for some time, to judge by the ap- perance of the old ones. The new ones will no doubt be very much appreciated by the kitchen staff. CARPENTRY Jesse James is building the stage props for the senior play. A new filing cabinet has just been delivered to Miss Patterson’s office. The carpentets are studying window and door frame construction these rainy days. A few very nice pieces of furniture are now being completed, while the cabinet-millw’ork boys are finish ing up the processes in next to the last block of our progress chart.
