LITTLE FLOWER SOCIETY
Our club enjoyed a fine evening at the joint meet
ing held with the boys on the 28th of November.
It was decided at the meeting on December 4th that
the Little Flower Girls would send a gift-box to a
family who would enjoy it and thereby make their
Christmas Merry.
We are taking up character study and at each of our
meetings it is discussed from different angles. Mrs.
Allen makes it very interesting and impresses on our
minds that there’s nothing to equal a good character.
CAMPUS TROUBADOURS
The Campus Troubadours motored to Grand Ronde
on the evening of Thanksgiving and furnished music
for a dance which was sponsored by the Women’s Club
of that vicinity. A large crowd was in attendance and
and much comment was received in the way the boys
performed. The boys were treated wonderfully and
are anticipating another engagement.
A delicous chicken lunch was served at the close of
the dance.
PRACTICE HOUSE
Miss Charlotte Jones, one of our students, left Tues
day morning, November 27, for a position in Portland.
She will be working for Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Riley.
While we are sorry to have Charlotte leave us, never
theless, we are glad to see her start out on her own
and wish her every success and happiness.
It is said that Elizabeth Arquette, one of our former
students, is doing nicely and enjoys her work very
much. Elizabeth is working in Portland also.
This is the beginning for us and we certaintly hope
it ends as nicely has it has started.
We feel rather
honored to be the chosen few to preside at this home
like atmosphere and sure of gathering knowledge of
how to be successful house keepers.
Kathrine Gates and members of the practice house
girls witnessed the football game between St. Mary’s
and Oregon, St. Mary’s winning by one touchdown.

BEAUTY
PARLOR
The girls’ music club held their regular meeting
November 22. Due to the absence of the president,
who took part in the Music Program at Salem high
school, Margarite Arcasa, vice-president, took charge
of the meeting. A very nice and interesting program
was enjoyed.
The beauty parlor girls have organized a basketball
team and Cecile Madsen has been chosen to captain
the beautifiers. We practice every other morning and
by our showing so far expect to afford competion to
any “push overs” in the league.
Evelyn Sandberg has passed her State Board tests
on beauty salon and we are justly proud of her.
It has been rumored that the “Tarzan yell king,”
Billy Orr has become quite a nuisance around the shop.
It is said that Helene Kirn runs to the window regard
less of what she is doing every time she hears that voice.
Well, that voice should hypnotize any woman.
TRADES
SENIOR CARNIVAL A SUCCESS
HOSPITAL NOTES
The annual senior carnival was a huge success from
every standpoint. The gym was exquisitely decorated
and the balloons dangling overhead gave much air to
this colorful affair. The door prizes consisted of de
licious cakes and other novelties. Miss Cruise and
the seniors deserve much credit for this enjoyable oc
casion. Mr. Mason and his boys also deserve much
credit for the stands and the tricky contraptions erect
ed tempt our little public. Following the carnival a
dance was enjoyed by all, the music being furnished
by the Salem School for the Blind. The complete
organization wasn’t present due to the Thanksgiving
vacation but nevertheless all that was needed to put
the affair across was in its place. By the reports the
carnival was a success financially, clearing a little
better than a hundred dollars.
GIRLS’ MUSIC CLUB
Tommy Jones and Annette Murphy have been away
on a short visit to their homes. Leatta Metcalfe also
has been on a short visit in Portland.
The senior and junior nurses had a written test.
We all received passing grades and feel very proud of
ourselves.
The patients enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving dinner
too.
Mrs. Hankins was invited to a dinner at Redmond,
Oregon. Mrs. Hankins says she had a very nice time
in the snow. It was even noted by the nurses that
she came back in her snow shoes.
The nurses and Mrs. Hankins are having a lot of
fun with Fred Rickard who has a cold. Our only
hope is that Fred lives through it all, poor fellow has
to jerk away when he has his throat swabbed to keep
from getting choked.
Wilma Howard one of our junior nurses has been a
patient of ours for about four weeks and we hope that
she will be well soon so she may perform her duties
once again.
MISS HOFFMAN CALLED HOME
Last Friday Miss Hoffman was called home on ac
count of the serious illness of her father. His condi
tion was considered serious enough to make necessary
her trip by plane. We have had no news as to his con
dition but we are in hopes that she will find things
as bad as they seemed at first. Miss Hoffman’s home
is in Snyder, Nebraska.
