So far we haven't too many choices but when we get a better start and a better assortment of games, we'll really have the hours and points fly ing in. How about it, girls? Are we in the deal? We'll wear the letters and sweaters next year although we aren't "Lettermen." It seems as though the girls have done quite a bit of complaining about their aches, pains, and also sprains. Could it be "roller skating"? It must be because the skates have really had a tough breaking-in lately. Unit 4 and their councillor, Agnes Tahkeal. had an invitational party in our dinette Tuesday night. The girls invited boys from McNary hall. They seemed to be having an awful ly good time. Rosalie Wilkinson has recovered from her ill spell at Tacoma and is back with us again. We're very glad Rosalie is back. The McBride hall girls' rumpus room and play room has just had an added touch of decoration consisting of Mickey Mouse and circus borders and also new picture panels. Thanks to Mr. Burnette for all his nice work. They also have new linoleum on their back stairway. All of these things make the dormitory so much nicer and all the little girls are so proud of it. McBride has had a decrease in their girls since Martina and Clara Ives have gone home. Their father came after them because he is living near a public school now. Well, good-bye until the next edition. INTRAMURAL TRACK MEET Friday, March 11, Sander's field was alive with a mob of excited students cheering their classmates who were participating in the big track meet. There were many entries of boys from all classes, ages and sizes. There was a great variety of events to enter, as, shotput, track-racing, relay racing, discus throwing, hurdl ing and many others too numerous to mention. The winning team was composed of members of the junior and senior classes, the freshmen winning sec ond place and the team made up of seventh and eighth graders came in third. HOME ECONOMICS FOODS AND HOME-MAKING Grades 8, 9 and 10 are taking their foods and home-making classes from Mrs. Jeannette Hauser this semester. The eighth graders have their class in the morning so this class has had many visitors from Portland schools. The students and teachers from there tell us that our laboratory is as nice or better than any they know of in their city. So we are proud of our nice work shop. Our work counters are covered with linoleum and these are now painted with two new coats of "plasti-coat." It preserves the surface and gives the linoleum a polished appearance. The ninth grade girls have a short period in foods so the food products studied arc important fundamentals that can be learned in a shortened period of time. The foremost goals of this group are to learn deft motions, correct handling of kitchen equip ment, and to create interest in foods selection and preparation. The tenth grade girls are studying the foods which one should know how to prepare for dinners of all kinds. At the moment, the study of the value, structure and preparation of meats is preeminent. Chemawa girls get a wide, varied experience in home-making and they do make an effort to improve each day in their work. ATTEND GOVERNOR'S RECEPTION On the evening of March 7, many Chemawans attended the Governor's Reception in the Mirror room at the Marion Hotel in Salem. The students of the senior class, accompanied by Miss Morse, represented the student body at the reception. After going through the receiving line and meet ing Salem's Mayor, and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Elfstrom, Oregon's Gover nor and Mrs. McKay, and other noted people, the guests were ushered into the Marine Room where punch was served and each guest registered in the Guest Book.
