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.

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.
