T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN P age 4 most words was given to Mr. Mason. The “booby” went to Mr. Carrow. Ice cream, cake and coffee was served. We all had an enjoyable evening. We feel sorry to have Mr. and Mrs. Shilling leave us and we wish them success in their new responsiblity. Miss Charlotte Jones, one of our students, went out ing for the week-end. She worked for Mr. and Mrs. Tom DeLaney of Salem. Charlotte Jones belongs to the former group of practice house girls. She did very nicely while there. ♦ ♦ * W hy I C hose C arpentry A s A V ocation By W illiam S ettlkr I chose carpentry for my vocation here in this school because I like this kind of work, I think it will be very helpful to me after I leave this school, and there is an especially good course offered here. When one enrolls for carpentry he is really in line for two vocations, because he has the advantage of getting a fairly good foundation in drafting too. This helps him to use his own ideas, when he wishes to make things. He draws his plans, after he has his idea all in mind, then he carries it out in his car pentry work. A carpenter has many ways of making a living besides building houses. He can make all kinds of furniture, work as a laborer on a large or small con struction project, and if he is a good mechanic, and can manage men and tell them what to do, he can be a contractor. If a person knows something about carpentry, he will be better able to know about things for himself. If he wants a house built, he will know about the plans, the kinds of lumber that is used, and if he is paying what it is worth or is not getting his money’s worth. So, I chose carpentry because: I like the trade; it will help me earn living; it will inform me generally on the subject of building, which is a knowledge that everyone should know. * * * The carpenter shop boys are having a contest to see which detail of boys in their respective groups can enjoy the reward offered by Mr. Mason. The reward is a trip to Salem, a show and a big feed after the show. The winners will be announced in the next American. Willie Spotted-Eagle has almost completed an im posing table for the print shop. ♦ * ♦ The Senior and Junior nurses held their first meet ing and elected officers for the year. The officers are as follows: president, Josephine Juneau; vice-president, Myrtle Dupree; secratery, Florence Grenier; treasurer, Onlee Normandin; reporter, Aradona Aguilar. We also had some eats after the meeting was over, Josephine was the “official toaster,” Also, Mrs. Hankins and Mrs. McKinney were present. ♦ ♦ ♦ M y V isit O regon S tate L ivestock E xposition to the By T homas J ones The Livestock exposition alone is a wonderful educa tion for any boy and girl who is going to deal with the bigger, better and more modern work from the farm to the office worker. The livestock exhibits were the finer registered breeds of cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, chickens and all other domesticated animals. The best canning of the American housewife is shown here. The most delicious looking fruit in natural colors. It also had a very fine exhibit of Oregon fruits, nuts, corn, potatoes and all other farm products, which surpass the expected. All in all it should be well taken in by any Chemawa student because for anything he or she may be inter ested in. It is sure to be exhibited at the National Stock Show. CHEMAWA “HOOKST” BY OREGON CITY In a game played in mud ankle deep a week ago Friday, the redskins lost a tough game to the pioneers at Oregon City. The result of the score does not in dicate that the game was a walk away. The lighter and inexperienced redskins did themselves proud by throwing the pioneers for a loss time and again. A nice bit of broken-field running was done by the “kinky” haired lad “Stork” Harris who ran 18 yds. in that field, which is indeed something to boast about. In this game the line played a good exhibition of football. But the pioneers took advantage of every break, the final score being 24-6. Chemawa’s lone score came by means of a blocked punt by the redskin left end, Ed “Bad” Case. Matt Adams and Peter Berger played a whale of a game in the line. “ Peger’ ’ Berger is well known for his “shoe-string” tackles. Chemawa will journey to Medford on Armistice day to try their luck on the pear-pickers. ♦ * * Some interesting news, indeed! The senior, junior and, in fact, all of the classes of girls have organized volley ball teams and are well on their way to stardom. It certainly looks like we are due for some excitement because they plan to compete with one another in the near future.
