The Chemawa American NEW SEWING MACHINE Mrs. Detrick's class is justly proud of the nice new Singer sewing ma chine, which has recently been placed in their classroom. The girls are learning to use the machine and are in the process of making frilly kitchen aprons. McNARY INTRAMURALS McNary Hall boys are really on the ball. They have four teams par ticipating in intramural basketball. These teams are composed of boys who do not play on our regular "A" or "B" teams. Varsity team boys do the coaching and refereeing. League standings are as follows: Name of Team or Hall CARPENTER SHOP The carpenters are really busy these days. We are making equip ment for the play rooms at the dor mitories. We are salvaging much of the material that is used and our shop appears quite full of wrecked furniture. One of these days some built-up blocks and cupboards will appear and the junk pile will be gone. The painters are working on a part of bur shop. Our classroom is almost finished. It is nice to have a nice place to work. SHOE SHOP The shoemakers are busy as bees these wet days trying to keep shoes fixed to keep feet dry. This rain is making our business good. We are putting in overtime trying to keep the mountain of shoes moving back to service. Some sunshine would help. PRINT SHOP Students in the print shop have been busy on practice jobs and note book work in connection with their printing lessons. The group is well into the semester's work, covering thus far lessons in setting poetry, straight paragraph composition, alignment of figures, centering and aligning type groups, and setting a job with two-line initial. To our credit on the production side are 4000 two-weeks' time cards, 1000 library cards, 500 birthday pro rams, 8000 impressions of voucher imprinting, and mimeograph jobs too numerous to mention. Two senior students, Leora Plum mer and Ernestine Lane, have been majoring in bindery and platen press work this semester. Leora is our chief press operator. The girls are also re sponsible for the bulk of mimeograph production.

Home Economics DRESS MAKERS Now-a-days American people have to watch their budgets. In order to cut down expenses and still look lovely at the prom, the girls will make their formals. The senior girls, who have formals from last year will be the only ones to have boughten formal dresses. The junior girls will have an opportunity to make their dresses in Mrs. James' class, as will the senior girls who do not have formals. In case the fiesta theme is chosen, all girls attending the prom will have an opportunity to make fiesta dresses. THE DINING HALL The one place at Chemawa where students are on time and are always interested is the dining hall. Stu dents should realize the importance of proper training in the dining hall and good table manners. In order to keep our old friends and make new ones some simple rules which show the marks of good training should be observed. Let's all try to make our dining hall a more pleasant place to eat by just using the simple manners we all know. 3 CAMPUS NEWS BRIEFS Sixty-two cases of mumps have been treated at the school hospital since the middle of November. It is believed that the epidemic is pretty well over. Some of the employees feted the basketball boys, coach, managers and score-keeper with a dinner at the Salem Athletic club on Sunday, February 13. T/Sgt. Emil Wauseka Hauser is spending a 30-day leave from Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, California, on the campus visiting his wife, Mrs. Jeanette Hauser. Dr. Fisher, government dentist, continues to keep very busy with our many dental needs. We hope that all of the students will be given care before he is called to Warm Springs boarding school. The basketball boys, managers, cheer leaders, Mrs. Peacher and Coach Kettleson were guests at a party given by Group D of the Nava jo section on February 16. Games were played during the evening, after which the Navajo hostesses and hosts served lunch. The following former students are receiving treatment at the Tacoma hospital. Letters and cards are al ways appreciated: Davis Jim, Edwin Ingawamp, Willis Conrad, Lillian Mennick, Helen Clinton, Betty Brown, Lucille Sampson, Rosaline Wilkin son, Meliss Stahi, and Christine Edwards. Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Lindgren and daughter, Blanche, of Coleraine, Min nesota, were week-end guests of the Johannaber family. Mr. Johannaber formerly taught in Coleraine. In spite of the blizzards throughout the mid dlewest and many blocked mountain passes, the Lindgrens were not great ly delayed in making their trip by car. A new Sound-Scriber machine has been bought for use, particularly in the Navajo groups. A file is being established containing a recording of each Navajo student's speech. This will provide ar. interesting mea sure of speed and degree of im provement. The machine is simple to operate and is proving a popular addition to our equipment.
