SOPHOMORE GIRLS HAVE PICNIC
The sophomcre class in home eco­
nomics planned a picnic as their
last class meeting. The picnic was
held in the "Fir Grove" with the girls
exhibiting real talent in the arts of
fire building and open fire cookery.
At the end of the picnic the girls
again demonstrated their knowledge
af forest fire control by carefully put­
ting the camp fire out. The trip was
a nice experience and the girls en­
joyed working out the cooking prob­
lems a picnic involves.
The Student Council, in behalf of
the student body, wish to express
their sincere appreciation to the
Chemawa Youth Fellowship for the
gift of $11.90. We are certain the
money will be used to purchase
something which the students will
enjoy. Thank you very much.
