GIRL’S SPORTS Four new yew bows and two dozen arrows have ar rived for the Archery Club. About 20 girls are in this club. The target, which was painted by “Lefty’ ’ Wil der, is put against a hay stack for support. Mr. Turner is getting the athletic field in good shape and the girls all want to express their appreciation for this work. The Rambler’s Hiking clup and the Sunset Hikers enjoyed a treasure hunt prepared by Arlie Stanger and Irene Thomas with the aid of Pauline Pratt and Vina Smith.

SHOPS After an absence of almost two weeks, our star shoe repairers, Simeon Bean and Ben Felicia, are back at work again. Several of the machine shop boys have been sick in the hospital this last week. Everybody had a good time at the machine shop boys’ party on April 20. The plumbers have the water line connected from the cottage to the main behind the hospital. Mr. Matt installed a shower at the dairy. The job, done in sheet metal, was excellent. There seems to be some misunderstanding about the purpose of the Altamot. It is not a regular cafe but a place where boys are taught restaurant and cafe cook ing. As soon as the new’ serving tables arrive students will be invited in turn to eat at the Altamot. The general public and employees must be denied service. The painters painted and papered two rooms of the practice cottage. They also painted furniture for the cottage. They also have been busy painting the roofs of different buildings on the campus. = The carpenters recently made a calf-pen, which the painters painted. The electricians installed a 20 H. P. motor at the dairy barn. This is to be used to run an insilage cut ter. As soon as the carpenters finish the floor of the new cottage the electricians will wire the house. FROM THE DORMITORIES A meeting was held in McNary Hall for the pur pose of introducing Mr. Shilling, the new boys’ advisor. Mr. Shilling gave a talk on his idea of the duties of an advisor. We have as a guest in McNary Hall, Mr. Jackson from Long Beach, California. Myrtle Wells of Winona left Monday, April 17th for her home in Washington. Nancy Reynolds is now employed in the Rainey home. We are glad to have Mrs. Knapp back with us at McBride Hall again. We hope she has enjoyed her Easter in Chehalis with her husband and friends. Clemie Hughes is back with us again and is looking very well. Good luck to you “Clem” for the rest of your school days. The Hawley hall girls have been very busy making a flower garden. The girls are very grateful to Miss Mountjoy for the plants. Arnold Logsden was 13 years old the other day and Mrs. Wilcox gave him a party of “eats” in her room. A birthday cake graced the table. Clifford Olson was 15 years old Easter and he, too, had a feed. Many happy returns of the day, boys! Mitchell hall has a real Persian cat now. Boys are taking much interest in keeping up their rooms and building. Keep it up, boys—a good time is in store for you.
