WINONA HALL NEWS
Winona hall is off to a good start
this year with a full house of 170
girls who, we hope, will find this a
new and happy home during their
stay here and will do everything
possible to uphold the standards of
the school.
The new Winona hall councillors
for this year are, Unit I, Janice Ram-
beau; Unit II, Georgianna Young;
Unit III, Joyce James; Unit IV, Eulalie
Minthorn; Unit V, Imogene Washing
ton; Unit VI, Elizabeth McDevitt; Unit
VII, Millie Jefferson; Unit VIII, Grace
Bejoe;
sports councillor, Helen
George; reading room councillor, Ma-
belle Edwords; upstairs councillor,
Jeanette Blake.
The Winona hall house council has
been having weekly meetings and
one special meeting was called in
order to get the dormitory organiza
tion going along smoothly. In the
election of house officers, Georgian
na Young was elected house presi
dent; Eulalie Minthorn is vice-presi
dent and Janice Rambeau is the sec
retary.
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.
Helen George, sports councillor, is
busy contacting sponsors and plan
ning schedules for sports for the
Girls' Athletic association so that all
Winona hall girls can earn points
for athletic awards. Every Wednes
day night is hiking night.
McBride hall has a total of 94 girls
in their well-organized dormitory.
First floor officer is Roberta McDevitt

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.—

a house meeting with all the girls
present. 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.
