The Chemawa American SHOP TALK The barber shop boys are kept busy as they groom all the boys from the first to the seventh grades. The shop has recently been im proved by the addition of a new lavatory equipped with hot and cold water. Also, a drinking fountain has been installed. Buddy Weiser, Robert Patterson and Louis Jerry report that they like the shoe shop work fine. They have repaired 218 pairs of shoes for stu dents during the month of December. They are workin~ on repairing some footboll shoes which were received from the Willamette university. This is done on a 50-50 basis with the university. The old 1934 truck used for de liveries to ''Pigville" is to be retired as soon as the auto mechanics get the new flat bed 1942 pickup ready for service. The auto shop has a new fast bat tery charger. It does the work of charging batteries very quickly, as the new charger does in one hour as much charging as it took two days before to do. The shop has also installed a new lathe which will be used for light machine work. The new tool cabinet is now in operation, too, which makes a neater work shop. The mechanics are doing an over haul job on the G.M.C. dump t-uck. What are ihe little books that our young mechanics are so diligently studying these days? Ah yes! Mr. Speed says they are going to take the State driving test so they are learning all the kinds of highway signs, etc., etc., so they can make 103 per cent in their written test. Good luck, boys. The mechanics and their instruc tor, Mr. Speed, wish to thank Mr. Matt's shop for the neat rack they made for the Operator's Record Books Mr. Speed says they don't have to shuffle to find the books any more for now they are always in place THANKS.

SOPHOMORE NEWS The sophomores' main worry is over. This was our assembly the latter part of October. We hape a pop sale January 27th for the In.an- tdo Paralysis campaign. Some of the girls went on a trip to Turner high school. They gave the Round dance, which they had given for our assembly. Our class (numbering 60) went around to carol after our Christmas program on December 22. After that we returned to our class room for a little party. We had cokes and doughnuts. At 10 o'clock we returned to our dormitories, tired, happy and filled with the Christmas spirit. Many things happen which make some think that— Life is always a hard fight, But you'll find it easy if you do what's right. A GOOD CITIZEN A good citizen always tells the truth. A good citizen takes care of books. A good citizen minds the rules of the school. A good citizen takes care of health and safety rules. A good citizen has good manners.—• Warren Conrad, grade three B-R R-R----- THE WEATHER ! The old proverb, "Mackerel clouds in the sky, expect more wet than dry, ' was proven true this month as we watched the clouds move over and the snow and rain come down The native Oregonians tell us we witnessed a silver thaw We didn't name it ourselves, but it was very icy and dangerous to walk or drive 11 pon. As every cloud has a silver lining, there was fun with this spell of weather, too, as snow forts made their appearance over the campus, and snow mon were lurking every where One of the large fir trees had Io Bo cut down as it was dangerously uprooting itsell The snow was fun but all the stu dents welcomed back Oregon's nor mal winter weather good old rain SPORTS BY PLUMMER The north end of Marion county "B" League basketball started Janu ary 6 Up to date, due to inclement weather, Chemawa has only played two league games.
