SHOPS
The carpenters were surprised to find Mr. Showalter
teaching in the school building. He teaches related
trade subjects for the shops now.
GIRLS’ ATHLETICS
Volley ball teams have been organized by the var
ious classes of girls. Captains have been elected as
follows: Seniors, Irene Thomas; juniors, Delphine
Swann; sophomores, Mary Bowchop; freshman, Ardis
Owens; (7th and 8th captains to be chosen later).
Volley ball games between girls’ classes began Mon
day afternoon at 4:15.
First game of the season
was played Monday afternoon between the seniors
and sophomores and the seniors emerged victors after
a hard fought battle.
Members of the cooking crew will be a some-what
deminished but enthusiatic group this year. We are
allowed to work in the Altamot cafe every other day.
The plumbers have put gas stoves in Hawley Hall
which is now the “club”. Mr. Joe Matte is lining
the sink w’ith galvanized sheet iron in the new club
kitchen.
A report from the auto mechanics shop reveals the
fact that the instructor in this department, Mr. Berry,
is busily engaged in getting a large group of begin
ners started in the art of tinkering with the innards
of an automobile.
The machine shop, under the direction of Mr. Allen,
is going through a thorough fall cleaning at the pre
sent time. Repairing and painting is the order of the
day and every nook and cranny in this department is
being energetically prettied up.
McNARY HALL. NOTES
Mr. Leslie LaVelle, former coach of Chemawa
teams, has been transferred to Turtle Mountain school
at Bellcourt, North Dakota.
Every year about this time someone in McNary
Hall invents a new hair-oil mixture. Sam Scott and
David Berger have now invented a new kind of hair
oil. It is a mixture of linseed oil and lard, to which
is added a small amount of mint to make it smell good.
The two boys expect this to be the big hit of the sea
son.
Gene Kyote, who is playing center on the “Green
Horns” football team, got his wrist sprained when
tackled by little “Moon” Jackson.
“THE HOODOO”
It has been noted by wide awake individuals that
nightly and without fail the seniors gather at the aud
itorium to do some conscientious rehersing on the
senior play. The play is a rollicking three act comedy,
“The Hoodoo,” which is to be given in the Chemawa
auditorium on October 28. “The Hoodoo,” it is said,
is something which must not be missed.
A LIBERAL EDUCATION
1 HAT man has had a liberal education, who
has been so trained in youth that his body is
the ready servant of his will, and does with ease
and pleasure all the work that, as a mechanism,
it is capable of; whose intellect is a clear, cold,
logic-engine, with all its parts of equal strength
and in smooth working order; ready like a steam
engine to be turned to any kind of work and
spin the gossamers, as well as forge the anchors
of the mind; whose mind is stored with a know
ledge of the great and fundamental truths of
Nature and of the laws of her operations; one
who, no stunted ascetic, is full of life and fire,
but whose passions are trained to come to heel
by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender con
science; who has learned to love all beauty,
whether of Nature or of Art, to hate all vileness,
and to respect others as himself.
Such a one and no other, I conceive, has had
a liberal education; for he is, as completely as
a man can be, in harmony with Nature. He
will make the best of her and she of him. They
will get on together rarely; she as his bene
ficent mother; he as her mouth-piece, her con
scious self, her minister, and interpreter!
Thomas H. Huxley
