Scouts Visit Coast
The Troop started Friday right after dinner and
went through Corvallis, Philomath, Toledo and to
Siletz. Supper was a little late and then to bed on
a soft wood floor. The one air mattress was in great
demand hut the owner held on for dear life.
Breakfast and clean up Saturday morning, then to
the coast after saying hello to the Thompsons.
George went with us to the coast. Shoes and socks
came off so the boys could wade in the surf. "you
guessed it." Their was more swimming than wading.
Mr. Thompson’s mother had our roast and gravy
ready J for us on our return.
Eveiyone slept soundly that night. A large break
fast was eaten and lunches were prepared. We load-
d the bus and were ready to leave. Mrs. Thompson
said goodby to each boy.
The return trip was by way of Newport. Taft,
the Salmon River cutoff and Dallas. We stopped to
see Lefty W ilder at Boiler Bay He has the Long
House Museum and extends a cordial invitation to
all to visit him. Lefty also asked to be remembered
to all his friends at Chemawa. He has many odd
and old relics in the Museum and a deei called Bam
bi in a pen outside the house.
The following c^oks deserve special mention:
Robert Azure, Raymond Montanic and Eneas Pierre.
The good workers w ere Glenn Scott and Louis Bel-
gard.

Aq Items
Eight of the Ag boys sold their project pigs last
week receiving approximately $50 per head. Each
pig had been fed ami cared for by the boy since
weaning age.
The upperclassmen have 3 beef calves on full
feed and will fatten them for 90 days. Proceeds
from the project are to be used in equipping their
clubroom
The project of most interest to the boys at present
is the purchase of two riding horses for recreational
use by students. The senior Ag club will manage
the riding horses and schedule their use by the
students. A trip was made to select the horses and
we were able to see which students were our real
broncho busters.
Last week at the conclusion of the classwork in
grading of grain and hay, a trip was made by the
class to the federal hay and grain inspections offices
in Portland. As the samples weie brought in from
the carloads of grain, the boys w ere able to see step
by step just how the grading was done, including
determination of moisture, protein, dockage, test
weight, market class of the wheat, anti the factors
such as foreign material or damaged kernels which
determine the market grade.
Home Nursing
On Monday, Feb. 4, a new class in home nursing
was started, under the direction of Miss Kirsch.
rhe course in home nursing is gi»en each year.
The instruction is opened to girls of the Junior
class.
On the first Monday afternoon, when we attended
our Home Nursing class, Miss Kirsch told us the
history of the Red Cross work. Having worked wiih
the Red Cross for some time Miss Kirsch told us
about all the different things requited of a worker.
We were then taught the correct way to clean the
srings on a bed, turn a mattress and make a bed.
We all hope that our beds in Winona hall will, in
the future, lend an air of beauty and charm to our
rooms by having covers carefully turned at the cor
ners and no wrinkles or unsightly bumps in them.
Jimmie Chocktoot and Gilbert Towner entered
some of their drawings in the Scholastic art contest.
The drawings are being exhibited at Meier and
Franks in Portland.
