Winona hall has started its sports program. The captains and teams of the Intramural basketball games have been chosen. We have some high-sounding names for the teams: "The Panthers," "The Maidens," "The Tribe" are three of the ten teams. From these teams there will be chosen ten girls for the "A team in competitive basketball with other schools. This is just another of the things to keep the girls interested in the activities of the school. We hope all the girls will take an interest in the activities being made possible for them.

BUSY WORKERS The fourth graders went out and picked apples because they had to earn money to pay for their sheep and feed. They picked apples four times. They picked over 400 boxes of apples. They earned $52.20. When they do work like that it is worth twenty cents an hour. Mr. O'Reilley was good to the chil dren. He let them take apples and prunes back to the dormitories.— Patricia Blythe and Marian Dick, Grade 4. This first number of the Chemawa American was unavoidably delayed. Please be lenient with us.

Miss Challis leads the group in singing and talks to them and then there is a program put on by the girls in each grade. The seventh grade had the irst program and the sixth grade had the next one. Now it is the fifth grade's turn. Every grade will have a chance to present the en tertainment. The girls like the cute stage with the curtain to pull which they have in their upstairs "rumpus room" where all the house meetings are held. The McBride officers have their house council meeting on Wednesday nights so that they can improve McBride hall in every way possible.
