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.
