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:

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.

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.
