On Saturday afternoon the members of the Latoon
campfire group enjoyed a hike and picnic.
Monday evening the Pootan campfire girls went for
a hike. They returned to Miss Black’s where a sur
prise awaited them.
At the meeting of the Y. M. C. A. held January 22,
interesting talks on vocational work were given by
several of the members.
The music club girls have recently received word
from two former members, Verna Starr and Evange
lin Gillette, who are now in Phoenix, Arizona.
Jan. 25, the Exelsior and Nonpareil clubs held a joint
session with “Lefty” Wilder presiding. All members
were there and everyone had an enjoyable time.
The Grade School Girl Reserves elected officersagain
and the following were chosen: President, Lena May
Bill; secretary, June Edmo; reporter, Pearl Beaumont.
The Y. W. C. A. committees have new members
working and expect to do things. At a recent meeting
Misses Boyd, Hillman, Hawley, Woodcock and Hay
ashi told why they chose their vocations.
The Lone Pine troop has been taking tenderfoot tests.
They will probably be finished with their test on Mon
day. The troop has been divided into two patrols which
plan the programs to be given on each meeting night.
Troop No. 2 has been studying the Morse code for
signalling and they think it is lots of fun.
Troop No. 1, Girl Scouts, did not meet during their
regular time as Mrs. Middleton was busy filling out
papers to send to the headquarters for the first class
registration cards. Those who passed their tenderfoot
test at our last meeting were Florence Wells, Pearl
Boyd and Mildred Smith. We are now working on a
note book which will give the history of each scout in
our troop.
The Little Flower society held a meeting on Tues
day evening Jan. 24. It was decided to have a joint
meeting with the Catholic Boys association on Tues
day Jan. 31. Plans for a joint Valentine’s party were
discussed. It was suggested that we get our dues in
not later than Feb. 10. Those who do not pay their
dues cannot go to the party. After the business meet
ing there was a program. Miss Roddy and Mrs. Allen
continued their instructions.
On Tuesday evening January 26, the junior and
senior vocational girls from the hospital, Miss Fout
and Miss Schaeffer, gave a farewell surprise party for
Dr. H. N. Sisco. An enjoyable evening was spent in
playing games after which delicious refreshments were
served. Esther Hillman, our president, presented
a billfold to Dr. Sisco in behalf of the vocational girls
P age 3
and hospital staff.
The billfold was made here in
Chemawa and had the doctor’s enitials embossed on it.
FROM THE CLASS-BOOMS
On Jan. 23, the junior class held a meeting and
made plans for the coming song and yell contest.
The junior prom was also discussed.
On Friday afternoon the 8-G-2 had their class meet
ing in their home room. They had a number of spe
cial musical selections, readings and stories.
The
program was an enjoyable event.
The 7-G-2 class had a program on the class-meeting
day. The numbers on the program included talks,
songs and stories by the class members. We are sorry
to lose Clare George as she has been promoted.
The 7-G-l had their meeting last Friday and decided
to have a Valentine program. They will invite two
members of the other seventh grade groups. In our
gym class squad one won the final game of the class.
The eighth grade have put away their history books
and are now on civics. They are still working on
their plan books. They have started a new system,
the big brother movement. The 8 B-2 boys are ahead
with George Magee and his little brother leading.
The ninth grade have been studying debating.
The boys have been trying to decide which is a better
game, football or baseball. The girls are trying to
decide whether or not a poor boy or girl is more like
ly to succeed than a rich boy or girl. Our main
trouble is that the students all want to take the same
side.
FBOM THE DORMITORIES
The Mitchell hall basketball team played a game
with an eighth grade team from Oregon city and were
victorious to the degree of 40 to 30.
Wilson Bobb
our midget forward and “Banjo” Ray starred. There
have been only two rooms that haven't received A-
plus since Christmas.
The demerit system has gone into effect and the
halls of Winona resemble glass. The McBride hall
girls seem pretty willing to keep our building cleaned
up for us as they still insist on coming over without
passes. During the week three of our girls have re
turned home, they are Dorothy Matt, Mayme Henry,
and Pearl Lowery.
SENIORS
The seniors were more successful in the class games
this time, with the boys and girls both scoring over
the sophomores. Hurrah! for us. We really intend
to keep up the good work.
Miss White now has the characters picked out for the
senior play, which we feel is going to be a huge suc
cess this year. The play is quite different from past
senior plays given here, and we know that everyone
will enjoy it, as they will be on their tip-toes every
minute wondering what will happen next.
Mr. Rainey let us all down this quarter and rather
surprised us with our grades. Perhaps we deserved
it, but everyone has been making new resolutions
since. Good for us!
