Since that first day at Forest Grove, Chemawa has made very much progress, and today it is a modern boarding school of which we are very proud. Regular classes were held in the morning, and in the afternoon, Chemawa’s varsity and “B” teams defeated Estacada in two exciting games. Mr. Kunkel’s school band played some music, and Mr. Larsen gave a brief summary of the his tory of Chemawa. Members of the junior class gave a humorous skit in pantomine. A poem, en titled “Chemawa’s Birthday,” by Mrs. Ella E. Swink, was read by Donna Mae Courville. George Comenote sang two selections. Mr. Jackson ex pressed his appreciation to Chemawa for the many opportunities offered here for the Indian boys and girls of the Northwest. After the program, everybody enjoyed dancing to Tommy Serene’s Orchestra from Salem. Dur ing intermission, the Queen, Miss Nellie Walters, and her attendants, Marjorie Skahan, and Lor raine Short, were introduced. They cut and served the beautiful birthday cake to the guests. Mr. Sanders was honored by having the first piece of cake, for he will soon retire from the Indian ser vice. As the dance ended, the guests left with the memories of the happy and successful years of Chemawa. Honored guests of the evening included Mrs. Ella E. Swink, Peter Hauser, Jr., and Margie and Margaret Skahan, who celebrated their birth days with Chemawa. --------▼-------- Field Trip to Chemawa Heating Plant One fine day recently, Mr. Salter took his Freshman General Science class to the heating plant where Mr. Spaulding, the engineer, showed and explained to the group the equipment used. The plant is run by oil. About 2,000 gallons is used daily. At present the government is able to get oil at three cents per gallon from the Richfield Co. The cost per day for oil is approxi mately sixty dollars. The boilers are made of coiled pipes through which water circulates. As the fire heats the pipes, the water is changed to steam which is then sent to the different buildings on the campus. The steam is about 250 horse power with 45 pounds of heat per square inch. There are meters which register the output and pressure of steam. The output of steam per hour is about 12,000 pounds. These meters are read and recorded every hour. There are vacuum pumps of many kinds located in strategic positions throughout the plant. Each member of the Freshman General Science class enjoyed the trip to the heating plant and wish to extend their thanks to their teacher, Mr. Salter, and the heating plant engineer, Mr. Spaulding, for showing them through the heat ing plant.
