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.

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

The auto mechanics are helping out with the de
