T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN 4----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > • From the Dormitories • 4---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ODDS AND ENDS FROM BREWER HALL John Spencer and John Peltier, two old timers, have returned to school and are staying at Brewer Hall again. Drill-Sergeant Karl Mueller, formerly connected with the engineering force, has been promoted to as sistant quartermaster at the commissary. Chuck DePoe, our musician extraordinary, is one of the busiest men on the campus with three musical or ganizations under his supervision. His charges are: one girls’ orchestra, a boys’ orchestra and a boys’ band. One of the most frequent yet most unwelcome hap penings in Brewer Hall is assistant advisor Fred Rickard’s booming voice calling out at 6 A. M., “ Let’s go! Everybody Up. Warning call in five minutes!” Brewer Hall can boast 15 cooks that help satisfy the working man three times a day. They will cook a square meal for any body who wants one. Our motto: A chef for every purpose, and a meal for every purse. A-B-C-’N-U! MITCHELL HALL Alfred Pond left for home last week, we hope he finds his father better. James Large has the best room. Other excellent rooms belong to James Pephyrs, Mathew Decells and Raymond Rasberry. Under the leadership of Julian Larnard the boys are going to build a log house on the old picnic grounds. Seven trees have already been cut. Wonder when we’re going on another hike? We hope it will be soon. HAWLEY HALL Heard on the campus: “How beautifully the Haw ley hall girls march! They must be working for hon ors.” Keep it up girls and come out first in company points! You can do it. Have you noticed how neat and clean your w^alks are, Winona and McBride? You have the little Haw ley hall girls to thank for their hard work. We received a fine report last week from our Sun day inspector, Mrs. Lobdell, and we are very happy to take great pride in our school home. P age 3 little difficulty. The first year boys have been learn ing some of the initial operations. The boys are begin ning to plan on entering an athletic team in all con tests this year and they say they will make some of the others travel to win. GIRL SCOUT AND CAMFIRE NEWS The four girl scout troops of Chemawa attended a delightful tea at the Wigwam on Girl Scout Hostess Day, October 20. The scout patrol leaders had the honor of serving at the tea, which was prepared by the local troop committee members under the leader ship of Mrs. Ryan. Troop 2 is now well organized. It has held three regular meetings. The following officers have been elected: Laverne Ulmer, Caroline Parker and Goldie Day, patrol leaders; Lena Leighton, June Courville and Mary Bowechop, seconds. The three patrols have chosen the names Cardinal, Owl and Swan, with corresponding emblems. Only seven of last year’s troop are back, but new members have brought the troop membership up to nineteen. Three of the new members are registered girl scouts from Tulalip. Scout advancement will be stressed at each meeting. A progress chart will be kept. At present plans are being worked out to make the Girl Scout-Campfire Carnival an even more successful affair than last year. The Latonah camp fire girls held their regular meeting at the practice cottage, Monday, Oct. 17. The evening was devoted to discussion of the coming carnival. Miss Newell surprised the girls by serving cider and cookies. They adjourned with the ceremony of the song, “Burn, Fire, Burn.” The Pootan Camp Fire held initiation on the even ing of October tenth. Rosalia Grounds, assistant guardian, had charge of initiation and nothing was left undone in making the pledges feel that they were being tested. All proved themselves worthy, however, and were welcomed in Pootan as active members. Those initiated were Alice Slater, Dora LaFrance, Mary Slater, Delia Morigeau and Elizabeth Ides. Mrs. Ryan and Mrs. Gilliam, sponsors of the Camp Fire, were guests of the evening. Don’t forget the Carnival to be given on Hallowe’en by the girls organizations of Chemawa. Save your pennies for the frolic. AUTO MECHANICS AND MACHINE SHOP ESCORTS The auto mechanics are helping out with the de pression by making tools and equipment for the shop. This week they are building a caster gauge and cam ber gauge. Walter Majhor and Celestes Pepion are working on one of these and Leo Hunter and Ham Greene are building on the other. The machinists and blacksmiths have assisted with some machine work and welding. This coming season we expect to have a flashy basketball team, with Whitefeather here. The boys in the machine shop are all starting the year’s shop work in a workman-like manner. Last year boys are starting in where they left off in the spring and are going right ahead with their work with very Sat., Oct. 29—To Salem-------------------------------- Mrs. Melovidoff Sun., Oct. 30—McBride--------------------------------------- Miss Cruise Mr. C.
