BREWER HALL
Early Wednesday morning, 6:15 to be exact, the
commands of “Squads right, squads left,” were to be
heard on the athletic field. Why? Because Brewer
Hall had its first drill session of the year under the
able leadership of Dowd Franklin and Karl Mueller.
Those early morning drills are to be conducted twice
a week.
Most of the Brewer Hall boys who were ill with the
flu are back in the dormitories again and our ranks
are back to normal.
WINONA HALL
The rooms receiving the most excellent marks were
room 1, Emma Celestine, Mildred Smith, and room 3,
Nina Jack, Amelia Olin. Our girls willingly gave up
their reading room for a dormitory.
Marie Whiteclay was received last week with open
arms. There are now 213 members in our building.
We do hope it is not an unlucky number.
We are sorry to lose one of our members, Amelia
Olin, who has gone to Toppenish, Washington to a
sanatorium. We hope her stay there will not be long.
The girls are taking up a collection to get tubes for
our radio. Come on Winona Hall girls, “help the
poor.”
Alice Ladderoute and Emma Celestine ran off with
flying colors in the election for representives of Win
ona Hall at committee meetings.
mcbride hall
McBride now has new burglar alarms. However
when you push the button, instead of the alarm, the
lights come on.
After a stay of two weeks in the hospital, Mae Law-
son, is glad to get back in the dormitory.
HAWLEY HALL
Mrs. Galbreath visited her daughter, Catherine Mc
Govern last week.
We expect to do big things this year with Maxine
Paquette and Ardis Owens as representatives of stu
dent committee.
We have added to our assessments eight new show
ers. We are asking you to watch our pace, Chemawa.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
The freshmen classes are serving breakfasts as a re
view project and take great pride in producing a credit
able meal.
Last week a demonstrator for the Wesson Oil Com
pany demonstrated salad arrangements and dressing
for the senior classes.
Miss Strauch’s senior and sophomore food classes
gave a reception in honor of the freshman girls.
Games were played and two dramatic pieces were
spoken by Catherine Bailey. Mary Slater danced a
tap dance. The evening proved a real success and
everyone enjoyed it.
The boys who helped put the D. S. department in
order during the summer were entertained at dinner
by the senior girls of the D. S. department on Friday
evening. The much needed improvements are greatly
appreciated by everyone. At present there are six
units arranged at one side of the room which makes a
more convenient arrangement. The other end of the
room has two unit kitchens where the girls practice
in making and serving a meal without direction.
