P age 3 T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN TRADES AND DEPARTMENTS The machine shop has gone under way since the beginning of school with old boys returning and a lot of new faces. A new system has been devised in th shop. One of the boys has charge and acts as fore man. At present Louis Youpe is acting foreman. A lot of good work is being turned out, from clocks to big machinery. A fine piece of work has been turned out this fall by two boys of the auto mechanics. They are: Eli “Turk” Dumont and Lloyd “Sub” Baker. Both of these boys over-hauled Mr. Joe Matt’s car and put it back in fine running order. As a whole, with everybody doing something, Mr. Berry and his boys have repaired six cars besides giving service in relining and adjusting and brakes general repairs. The shoe and harness makers have repaired 172 pairs of shoes the past month. The carpenters have made a compartment in the barber shop, also, have put in lockers. The shop is full of job orders. The barber shop has not only been busy clipping hair but the shop itself has been transformed into a music studio. Mr. Hall is not only making musicians out of his barbers but practically everybody on the campus. You folks who have short wave radio sets, will hear a little “barber shop harmony” if you tune in on station HALL. HOME ECONOMICS The meal planning girls are receiving much practi cal experience planning and serving meals. Each girl must serve several meals at which she has as her guests an adult and two others from the class. The junior foods classes are larger than last year so it has become necessary to divide them into five sec tions. The home economics department gave a benefit bridge party Thursday evening in the practice house. Mrs. Carrow and Miss Bedard won high score at pi nochle and Miss Wentzel and Mr. Allen took nigh score bridge prizes. A buffet supper of chicken salad, hot rolls and coffee was served from the attractively decorated dining room. Y. M. AND Y. W. C.A The Y. M. held a meeting recently for the purpose of electing officers. They are as follows: president, Sam Scott; vice president, James Andrews; secretary, William Settler; treasurer, Eblyn Weeks; sergeant-at- arms, Gilbert Glen; and athletic manager, Virgil Nuckolls. The officers for Y. W. are as follows: president, Betty Shawver; vice-president, Edna Bacon; secretary, Velma Hayward; and treasurer, Rose Bellcourt. The Y. M. has at present about 35 members and the Y. W. the same. Membership drives will be started within the next few weeks and winter work will be well under way. NEW IMPROVEMENTS One of the most important improvements which the students think has been made the past summer is the swimming pool on our campus. The students who spent the summer here have made good use of it and we think it is a healthful past time. The weather has been unusally good of late and many have taken the advantage of it by going swimming. MUSIC CLUB A meeting was held Monday evening for the pur pose of organizing a band. Mr. Joe Hall is taking it upon himself and the boys that this is one of the most important oranization for a school of this nature and are lending their time freely. I am sure we agree with them and hope that we will hear the old familiar “tunes” soon. The band, orchestra, music clubs, choir and piano students, all use the music studio. It is a busy place and much talent is being developed. The jazz band is busy rehearsing every chance pos sible. Having a new oranization they have much work to do. This organization makes you forget your troubles on Saturday nights, and also is an im portant group. Many choir members have expressed their satisfac tion at again enjoying the priviledge of working in their old music room. Supt. Ryan, in restoring this room to the choir cer tainly made a “hit” with the members of this organ ization and he has their sincere thanks, “A BUNCH OF FUN” The senior play, “A Bunch of Fun” is being re hearsed daily. If the play were to be judged by its name, we’re due for a good chuckle. The price of admission is twenty-five cents. The 27th of October is the date set for it. REGRETS We regret to learn that Miss Gertude Eakin and Alice Judd, both who have been connected with our school for many years are departing for Haskell Ins titute, Lawrence, Kansas. Chemawa will miss these two loyal citizens, also, former students who have been connected with her through Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. work. We hope she will like her new field and the good wishes of Chemawa go with her. Subscribe to the A merican —50c per annum.
