4 The Chemawa American Winona News BASKETBALL SCORE BOARD Winona Hall is off to a good start this year. You can drop in any time of the day and find the building in tip-top shape. Congratulations to Loretta Hawk and her Unit VI for having won the Unit Award trip, twice. Hey! Unit I, are you gain gto let them win again? The kitchenette in Winona has some brand new aluminum pots and pans purchased from the Candy sales. Also the dinette has new cur tains. We are very glad to get this new equipment. Leora and Donna gave it a thorough housecleaning and now it is being checked out many times a day during our free time. The Winona hall girls are looking forward to our Open House next month, which we usually have on February 22 each year. All Units pitch in and clean certain assign ments given, and after it is all done, naturally we will all feel proud to have everyone drop in. We are sorry to have one of our girls, Lucille Sampson, leave us. We surely have enjoyed her stay. The second week in January, six House Councillors attended a joint meeting with six McNary hall boys; Mr. Kelley, supt., Mrs. Brannon, principal, Mr. Hudson, boys adviser. We regret to say Miss Challis, girls' adviser, couldn't attend the meeting, but it was just to get acquainted. The meeting was held at the high school building. On the second Monday of Decem ber, Dr. Stone and Mrs. Seawright, with some assistance, gave McBride hall girls a party. It was enjoyed by all. For entertainment a girl from Keizer played her accordion. The news was gathered and writ ten by two Councillors of Winona hall—Georgiana Young of Unit I and Ernestine Lane of Unit II.

FOURTH GRADE VIEWS ON CHRISTMAS DAY I had fun on Christmas day. I got all the things that I wanted. I got a doll and a ring and a pair of errings, and o pair of skates. I got some jacks too. I got two color books and cray ons. Daddy and Mom came up and took us to town. I like it up here in Chemawa. We have fun. At school we read and some times work in our note books.—Marietta Curl. OUR CHART We have a chart on the wall in the fourth grade. The teacher checks in the morning when we come to school. She checks our shoes, our teeth, our arms, finger nails, and hair. If you have dirty arms she will make you wash them. And if you have dirty nails she will make you clean them. And at the end of the month the teacher will add the points and whoever has one hundred and seventy-five points will ge a certifi cate —Irvin Lewis. Ag Items AG CLUB The Ag club is busy making leath er wallets, billfolds, comb cases, belts, bracelets, coin purses and key cases.

C. Mr. and Mrs. A. I. O'Reilly recent ly returned from Washington, D. C., where they spent the holiday season with their son. The trip was made by plane and required only ten and a half hours, the average speed of the plane being between 300 and 350 miles per hour. Due to stormy condi tions it was necessary to fly above the clouds, between 20,000 and 25,000 feet altitude, so very little of the earth below was seen. During their stay in Washington, Mr. O'Reilly took advantage of the opportunity to gather information about the early history of our coun try and its people. He brought back many pictures and pamphlets of historic places, among them being The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Washington's home, Lee's home, Lin coln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Smithsonian Institute, and the Penta gon building. Mr. O'Reilly has given a talk to each of his agriculture classes on 'Our Capital and Its History " Freda Bent, senior at Chemawa, enjoyed a visit from her sister, Miss Edna Bent. Miss Bent is employed by the army at Ft. Lewis, Washing ton, and is now on a ninety day leave. From Chemawa she plans to go to Vancouver, Washington
