T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN P age 3 ORGANIZATIONS FROM THE CLASS-ROOMS A box of groceries, clothes and a few presents were prepared by troop II of the Girl Scouts as a Christmas present to a family in Siletz. The money which was used to buy the groceries was raised by selling holly. A Christmas party was given for the members of the Protestant Sunday school on Dec. 22. It was held in the Y room, with Oma Woodcock acting as hostess. Games were played, refreshments served and Christmas presents were given out. After the party the children went about the campus and sang Christmas carols. The Girl Scout troop 4 had a party at their last meeting and had a real good time. Candy which was made by three of the girls was passed around and each girl received a present. We are all hoping Anna Stevens will get well soon. Some of the scouts in our troop went home for their Christmas vacation and we all hope that they have had a merry Christ mas. The Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. held a Christmas joint meeting Dec. 24. Christmas carols were sung. The boys’ quartet gave a selection. “Peace I give unto You,” was presented by Oma Woodcock, Rudolph Maysee, Vincent Pratt, and Oscar Braden. The girls served home made candies to the group at the close of the meeting. The Nitsi Pootan troop of girl scouts had a party at Mrs. Smith’s, Dec. 28. They all enjoyed themselves.

In the tenth grade English class we are studying literature of the Sough. In the Biology class we are studying the preparation of food—the girls have the edge on the boys in this phase of biology. SHOPS The boys in the carpenter shop are getting quite proficient cabinet makers as you may have noticed. They had many nice cabinets on exhibit recently. The boys in the machine shop are kept busy doing odd jobs. They are keeping the shop in perfect order during the holidays. If they have a floor to shine they shine it. It keeps them busy. The boys in the blacksmith shop have been kept busy during the last week fixing phonographs. Frank Dumont is very industriously making a burner for the girls’ building.

She replaces Margarete M. Speelman who was transferred to the office of girls’ advisor at the same school. ♦ * * Music students of Sherman Institute performed over station KNX, Hollywood, on Dec. 9. This station comes into radio sets here like a local station and had we been forewarned many of us would have enjoyed hearing the broadcast of our south ern California neighbor. * * * Phoenix Indian school mourns the passing of Miss Frances Adams, senior high school teacher at that school. Miss Adams was 55 years of age. She entered the Indian service in 1910 and was transferred to Phoenix in 1914, where she remained until her death which occured on Dec. 14. * * * Mrs. Frances C. Wenrich, one of Haskell’s best-loved teachers, retired a few years ago, lives at 38 Winona Ave., Lawrence, Kans., in a stone house covered with ivy and climb ing roses. She spends her time keeping her house and grounds in spic and span order and sometimes thinks of her old students. * * * What! NoJohn Levi? Burnley, a nationally-known cartoon ist and commentator on sports omitted the name of the gigantic “Jawn” when he recently wrote an article on great Indian football players. Included were the names of Thorpe, McLean, Weller, etc., but Levi, who could make a football do everything but sing “Sweet Adeline,’’ was ignored. * * ♦ Bacone College of Bacone, Okla., seems to be making a bid for the athletic supremacy of the Indian schools. Bacone, not a government school, has gathered a formidable array of ex- government school stars and is on the road to having high cal ibre teams in all lines of sports. Emmett McLemore is coach. In the pre-Levi era in Haskell athletics he was a famous foot ball player at the Kansas institution. He is an able mentor and is bringing the Bacone teams right along.
