I Chemawa American / A Publication Devoted to the Progress of Indian Education volume xxxxi CHEMAWA. OREGON. APRIL 11. 1941 “Bigger and Better Than Ever,” Sums up 4-H Club work The 4-H club work continues “Bigger and better” than ever. All of the clubs that were organized last fall are now well along with their programs. The club members now realize what club work does for them. Every club member has already put away some cash profits in his government savings account and the accounts are steadily growing each month. New clubs are now being organized to func tion during the vacation months. They will consist of onion, beet, carrot, bean, and potatoe clubs. The land is now being prepared and planting will begin at once. Plans are being completed for a club fair to be held during the last week of school. At this fair, club members will exhibit their work; have experience in judging and have their work judged. From amongthe winners, delegateswill be selected to attend the two weeks’ summer en campment at the Oregon State College during June. The delegates selected will have all their expenses paid. The Daughters of the American Revolution is kindly assisting financially in this important occasion. We are greatly indebted to the D.A.R., who take so much interest in helping and encouraging Indian youth who are interested in the better ways of life. They are always on the look-out for worthwhile boys and girls, and c e r t a i n ly find them in 4-H club workers. Get your exhibits in shape for the fair during the last week of school, clubbers: Let us “Make the Best Better on that day.” VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVy O bservations By the Superintendent AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. There is less tardiness to classes and homerooms than formerly. The five thousand trees, brought from Neah Bay, Wash., have been planted outby the hospital. The campus is more beautiful than usual, made possible by Mr. Doerkson and his boys. Mrs. Larsen is looking much better, and we are very glad to have her back on the campus. NUMBER NINE The men working under the direction of Mr. Charlie Hartford and Mr. Lawrence McKay are doing an excellent job re-modeling the hospital. The regular Saturday morning meeting of the shop instructors is becoming very interesting and increasingly more helpful. The grade school boys and girls have their gar dens planted. Mrs. Cronk’s girls, in Rural Unit No. 1 cottage, have their garden in and are doing good work with their program. Mr. Mason’s and Mr. Wilder’s boys have in stalled a very effective system for checking out tools in the carpenter shop. Mr. James’ boys, under the leadership of George Quintasket and Clarence LaRoque, are making every effort to do good work in the absence of Mr. James, who is ill. It is encouraging to see Mr. James well enough to be out on the campus. Miss White’s Home Economics girls did a fine luncheon for the Forestry officials, who were re cent visitors on our campus. The CCC-ID Radio School boys are making ex cellent progress. Dr. Polk Richard’s recent examination of the condition of the students’eyes, shows that trach oma cases are rapidly being cured. Danny Snipe received a fine honor in being sent to Boston, Mass., to represent our school in the A.A.U. Boxing tounament.
