What’s Showing * The weekly movie here at Chemawa, which usually consists of one feature and a comedy, has been grand. "Sergeant York” was here in late December. It is one of the best shows we have had. This month we have enjoyed — "Chatterbox,” "This Land is Mine,” and "Here We Go Again.” They were very nice shows. The student body is very appreciative of these shows and hope we continue to have them. We extend our thanks to the faculty and those who are making this entertainment possible. We Point With Pride To the older girls for the sporting way they have received the small girls into Winona Hall, and for the help they have given in caring for them. Their attitude has been commended by Miss Semanskiand Miss Schultz. To the orchestra for playing in the students’ din ing hall Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, and for all times they have entertained us. To Arnold Davis, Merle Williams, and Richard Larsen for instructing the third grade while Miss Sunrise was in Oklahoma.
