WINONA AND McBRIDE ITEMS
All winter long the weather has
been so disagreeable that the girls
have not been able to have any kind
of outdoor sports to work towards
their Chemawa letter "C"; but now
that the weather is gradually clear
ing up we are starting on our ath
letic sports and games once again.
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.
INTERESTING FIELD TRIPS
The sophomore and junior classes
have been taking some interesting
educational trips lately. The sopho
mores report of a very pleasant trip
to the Forestry building, paper mill,
and linen mill, all located in Salem.
The juniors journeyed to Oregon
City to visit the McLoughlin house.
This house was built by Dr. John
McLoughlin who was superintendent
of the Columbia department of the
Hudson Bay Company.
