VOCATIONS BAKING The local student bakers, under the direction of Mr. Whitney Comeau, seem to take great delight in baking dainty pastries and light bread which our students treat unmercifully in the dining hall. AGRICULTURE The boys on the farm are busily engaged in learning the art of pruning and spraying. The field that is plowed by pigville and way points was done by the farmers and during this nice weather we have also accomplished a lot of work. MACHINE SHOP Wilfred “Swede” Cline is a candidate for shop fore man. He has his program all mapped out and is cam paigning with the motto, “More play and less work.” PRACTICE HOUSE We are getting along quite nicely in our home. One of our regrets is that the time is flying all to quickly. Three weeks have passed since we have been residing here and much knowledge of how to take care of a home has crawled in our brain. What makes this house more realistic is that we now have a child to take care of. Her name is Norma Jones and we all enjoy taking care of her because she is such a bright child. She already knows all the names of the girls in our home. The carpenter boys are making suitable furniture for Norma’s little nursery and the sewing room girls are busy making clothing for her. She is being well pro vided for. We each take turns taking care of her. Ester Arquette spent the last week down at the hospi tal and we are very glad to have her with us again. HOME ECONOMICS The senior planning girls entertained the Monmouth high school basketball team here yesterday as well as our local team with a very delicious dinner. The tables and room were beautifully decorated. We welcome a new cook, Leatta Metcalfe, into the senior planning class, and she started to cook with us this semester. She seems to be a very promising cook. We hope she finds the work as interesting as we do. HOSPITAL NEWS The nurses are having quite a time taking care of a baby girl. It’s a lot of fun and very good training for any girl. Little Norma Jones who is now at the practice house will be at the hospital soon also. A couple of boys had to clean house for us and we certainly appreciate it. We are taking this oportun- ity to extend our many thanks to George Bostwick and Dave Archambeau for being so cooperative in this matter. COMMERCIAL1TE NEWS The commercials are getting quite nicely. Of course we can’t say we are used to our new typewriters, never theless we can say this much, we know how to handle them much better than we did at the beginning. Miss Hoffman informed us the other day that she would insist we use those typewriters for at least a period of six weeks. After that we can use any machine we wish. The senior commercials have to prepare and recite orally, talks on success and cooperation. They have to be approximately ten minutes long. Miss Hoffman had quite a difficulty in getting someone to be first, however, she settled the situation by writing numbers on a slip of paper and making us draw a number. All the senior commercials took the Bronson test, Jan. 23. We admit that it was quite a task keeping our studious minds in good composure.
