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.
