The Chemawa American Shop Talk The electric shop, where the sparks fly, is a busy spot on the campus this year. Besides the daily routine the boys have been working on repairing radios, electric motors, and many other interesting electrical devices. The boys in this shop are Thomas Patchpe, Billy Borgeau and Thomas Grant. Mr. Lester Bolton is the instructor. Although the print shop is still far from being completed, it is attempt ing to carry on its work. There is still carpentry work, masonry, and electrical work to be done in the shop. As the show must go on, the printers have published two issues of The Chemawa American, printed identification cards for Warm Springs Agency, student membership cards for the Chemawa student body, the campus telephone directory, and some imprinting on voucher forms. Congratulations for a job well done in getting the shop in order and work turned out goes to students George Williams, Edgar Lewis, Jan ice Rambeau, Eulalia Minthorn and their instructor Mr. Allan Shepard. This year the shoe shop keeps nine bovs busy. Mike Pelletier, a veteran of the shoe shoo, along with his reg ular work, is assisting Mr. Ashcutt in supervision and waiting on custom ers as the shop is swamped each morning. The groups are co-operat ing nicely in getting their shoes in for repair before they are beyond repairing. This is a great help to the shoe repair boys and it also saves shoe materials. We have passed the record in the number of pairs of shoes repaired made by the boys last year. The repair bovs will start a course in invisible shoe soling soon. The following boys carry on the work in the shoe shop under the supervision of Mr. Ashcutt: Delford Markussen, Rodney Davis, Irvina pratt. Bud Weiser, Louis Jerry and Vimil Lane. The paint shoo is the dace to call when von wish to have the buildings look bright and new. The boys in this shop have been working on a project of repairing and refinishinn teachers' desks. The students in the shop have completed their first quar ter tests and are planning on re- decorgting their own shop soon. There or« five boys in the corpen ter shop this veor. They are k^ot busy with repair iobs and their nroiects. At present the bovs are learning how to use egch n'ece of machinerv in the shop ond how to figure board feet.
