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. WILLAMETTE

The sophomores' main worry is

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.—•

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
