C.Address all communications to Robert Thomas, Manager Subscription 50 Cts per Annum LOCAL Josephine Spencer has returned from her outing course in Portland. Leona Normandin left school for Portland on the outing system recently. James Pephyrs left for his home Friday, Feb. 23. Janies was one of our plumber boys. The Junior class is delighted to have Evelyn Placid back in class after her long absence due to illness. George Meachem, a Chemawa graduate of the class ’29, is filling the vacancy left by Julian Larnard. A student body social was held in the gym on Sat., Feb. 17. Everybody enjoyed themselves to the utmost. Terry Courtney, a Chemawa graduate, has recent ly worked up to the position of camp manager at Warmspring, Ore. Miss Newell, of the home economics department, underwent an appendectomy on Tuesday, Feb. 20, and is now resting easily in the hospital. Julian Larnard, who for the past four or five months has been coach, librarian, and dormitory assistant, has left for the forestry school at Toppenish, Wash. Each and every boy has been requested to contrib ute a bit of labor and haul two loads of cinders to the local track. As far as we have learned everyone has done his bit with a fine show of spirit. Dr. Vance B. Murray, medical director for the north west, was a Chemawa vistor last week. Dr. Murray, who is an aviation enthusiast and pilots his own plane, was one of the first private plane owners to fly the new northwest route from New York City. Mr. R. S. Bristol, supervisor of extension work from Salt Lake City, Utah, was a visitor here Thurs day and Friday of last week. Mr. Bristol is especial ly interested in the farm and dairy work and upon learning this Mr. Shawver and his farm and dairy boys entertained him in a fitting manner at a supper held in the log cabin camp. On Feb. 15, the printers, one and all, filled a huge basket with good things to eat and lugged it to the cabin in the pines (or firs) and dined in great style. This picnic was in the nature of a royal send-off to Allan Shepard, the printer-instructor who was trans ferred to Haskell Institute. Messrs. Larnard, Rick ard, Matte and John Larsen were guests of the prin ters on this occasion. Ye local scribe observed that Pigville, east of the campus has received a coat of whitewash and it really looks very neat and clean. Such projects always im prove the appearance of the campus surroundings im- measureably, not only to the students and employees but to all visitors. SHOPS Three new barbers are now being taught the tonsorial trade. Alex Shippentower, Albert St. Martin and George Cummings are the boys who have enrolled the past week. The carpenters are putting colonial type cabinets in the Showalter house. We also learned that the tilt- top walnut table made by Sam Shoulderblade caught the eye of a visiting lady who promptly purchased it. This speaks well for the care and workmanship of Sammy. Mrs. E. R. Mason has recently installed her laun dry classes in their new quarters in Hawley Hall. This is proving to be a great advantage both to Mrs. Mason and the girls under her instruction. Mr. Sanders and his staff of painters are redecorat ing the woodwork in the school hospital. A number of other buildings are also due for a bit of touching up. SENIOR NOTES The senior class extends its deep sympathy to their fellow class-mates, Pansy Rutherford and her sister, Olive, who were recently called home on account of the death of their sister. We are trusting that the girls will be back soon to resume their courses of study. Walter “Gunny” Majhor, who was laid up in the hospital with a sprained ankle after our latest encount er with the Silverton basketball team, is again seen in his old haunts. “Ike” Shoulderblade Inc. is seen sporting a brand new “C” sweater with four stripes which were merit ed for well-aimed basketballs. DOINGS AT THE PRACTICE HOUSE Among recent dinner and breakfast guests at the practice house were: Anita Farrow, Clarence Emmons, Uriah Alexander, Mrs. Ella Swink, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Smith and Mr. LaVatta. The girls now taking up work at the house are: Margaret Landergren, Philomena Kwina, Bernice Frye and Florence Ironring. The back-yard of the house has been improved with a lattice made by Mr. Mason’s students. It adds to the appearance by hiding the refuse cans.
