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.
