NOTES Jimmie Shauver entertained several little friends at a birthday party the day after Christmas. His birth day was on Christmas day. Mr. and Mrs. Melovidoff, Buddy and Marjorie were guests at a delicious turkey dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lobdell in Salem on Christmas day. The foods class had the joy of helping play Santa Claus by making enough candy of various kinds and popcorn balls to fill 102 Christmas stockings for little Indian children at Grand Ronde. The club detail has changed and part of the girls have moved into the practice house. They are Grace Celestine, Hazel Scott, Clara Charles, Hazel Thomas, Marjorie Martin and Hazel Charley. We hope they make good. Before leaving the club, Mrs. Melovidoff gave us a party in Hawley Hall. The evening was spent participating in a peanut game. We surely have enjoyed working with Miss Hoptowit and re gret to have to leave so soon. SENIOR NOTES The senior class extends their sympathies to La- Verne Ulmer in her bereavement. Among the students who have returned to school for the second semester, two are seniors. Welcome back Cyril Archambeau and Elmer Hootchew! All students are welcome to patronize the senior’s candy store as the profits all go toward the making of the family album and we want it to be an extra good one. Some of the honorable seniors who went home for the Christmas holidays were Cassie Ball, Dorothy Parker, Ruby Dean, Violet Johnson, LaVerne Ulmer and Marjorie Martin. We hope they have all had a very Merry Christmas and we are wishing them all a very happy New Year. Thursday was a big day for the seniors. A pep rally was held before the contest against the sopho mores. The seniors come marching into the gym with their orange and black banners and ribbons held high; their singing and yelling showed the true spir it of the class; and they boosted their team every minute of the contest. The contest was close and ex citing to the finish but the seniors won with an over whelming score of 45-20. Rah! Rah! Rah! Seniors. SUPERINTENDENT RYAN TO DIRECT C. W. A. PROJECTS The Civil Works Administration has authorized a project under the direction of the superintendent of the Salem Indian school covering improvements at the school, improvements at the Siletz and at the Grande Ronde reservations. Such work as fencing, repair of roads and repairs to buildings are being undertaken. At Grand Ronde a government building is being repaired to afford a meeting place for Indians doing extension work under a joint program carried on by Chemawa and the State college at Corvallis. At Siletz the agency grounds are being fenced and the agency roads improved while at the Salem Indian school roads and buildings are being improved. One project at the school is the erection of a log cabin camp in which some of the student activities will be carried out. Indians are to be employed to do all work connected with the reservations or Indian schools, ex cept when it is impracticable to secure skilled labor for special undertakings in which common labor may be secured through the Salem relief headquarters. DOINGS AT PRACTICE HOUSE Hazel Scott is the first cook of the present group. We predict that she will make a record hard to break. Marjorie Martin, Hazel Charley and Hazel Thomas spent the Christmas vacation at their respective homes. Miss Newell and Ethel Jefferson were dinner guests one evening during the last week of the stay of the former group of girls. The holidays being over, we are all making an ex tra effort to get into a work-a-day mood again and carry on to the best of our ability. A new group of girls began at the practice house on Dec. 26. They are Grace Celestine, Clara Charles, Marjorie Martin, Hazel Charley and Hazel Thomas. We are wondering how to distinguish between the Hazels. On Monday the girls of the practice house and in structor were at home to a group of employees. Mrs. Turney’s pupils and serenaders under the direction of James Rosario furnished some musical numbers which were greatly appreciated. Mrs. Wilcox, girls advisor, offered a five-pound box of candy as a prize to the best decorated room in Win ona hall on the morning of Dec. 24. After quite a little consideration the judges picked room 34 as the most attractive and neatly decorated room in the build ing. Catherine Bailey, Evelyn and Myrtle Spanish, Gertrude Adams and Thelma Moore are the girls whose efforts were so fittingly rewarded.
