THE CHEMA WA AMERICAN 4 Pep Club Agriculture Chemawa has a new organization, The Pep club. It hasn’t appeared often yet, but in the months to come the Pep club will be recognized. The ag class is studying the different varieties of feeds and their minerals to find out how much protein carbohydrates there are in roughage and concentrate. All the ag boys are looking foreward to having steam heat in the classroom. Several of the boys are working on projects. Ten of the boys have pigs and three boys have calves for project work. These will be exhibited at the close of school to see whose project gets first prize. Every year just about this time, the ag boys have to spray the orchards. The first to be sprayed is the peach orchard. They spray it with Bordeaux mix ture to prevent “leaf cure.” Most of the girls feel privileged to be a member because they are twenty-five girls with good citizen ship. The Pep club girls’ duties are to be at the games and get right in there and cheer, winning or losing: Another duty is to provide amusement and enter tainment during the halves of the games. This club will have the privilege of going to off- the-campus games. Mary Agnes Simmons is president; Virginia La- Fromboise, vice-president; and Leona Bell, secretary. The yell queens are Theresa Matt, Loyette Moppin, Gayle Stone and Elsie Granlose. Miss Ziebach is the sponsor of this organization. Indian Club The girl scouts of Silverton held a benefit pag eant early this winter, illustrating the history of their community. The pageant could not entirely be complete without an Indian scene nor could it be well imitated amongst themselves so a gronp of our students who were familiar with varions kinds of Indian dances were called upon for a part in the evenings perfor mance. We were all very proud of these students for their entertainment was said to be the highlight of the evening. Junior Class The junior class consists of twenty-six students, nine girls and seventeen boys. We have elected the following people for our room council: President, Earl Davis; vice-president, Harry Cooper; secretary, Elinor John; sergeant-at- arms, Jimmy Chocktoot. We have been unlucky with our teachers so far. We have had three temporary teachers. Miss Beatrice Morse seems to be our permanent teacher. We are all very fond of her and hope she remains with us. We have been studying all about the northwest in history. We also have biology in which we were learning to dissect cray fish and perch. It was very interesting, but not very appetizing! The boys are building a clubroom in the back end of their classroom. It will be finished with a cabin effect. There will be a fire place and the interior will be finished with knotty pine. There will also be several rugs, couches and lamps for the room. Also a gas range for cooking, in the kitchen, and a work bench (for cooking), cupboards and a wash basin. Our agriculture instructor with five students vis ited Silver Creek Falls grounds and made a drawing of their stone fire place so we could build a sim ilar one for our clubroom.
