with a trip to the coast. The staff

McNARY HALL
This American finds us in the
middle of February, the weather has
prevented us from working very
extensively on our lawn. This how
ever has not prevented our indus
trious hands from repairing and
painting the interior of McNary so
that this spring we will be able to
open our doors and welcome the
public to inspect our building with
pride.
We are anticipating the renova
tion of our reading room. This room
is very important in the lives of
McNary Hall boys for it is here that
we play host to our guests. Parties
here form a large part of our social
activities. March 3 the Lettermen are
planning an invitational evening
party at McNary.
Mr. E. Hudson, boys adviser, has
recently returned from Tacoma where
he had taken Clyde Sampson, Mar
vin Sam, Lester Aubrey, Frank Laver-
dure, Joe Moses and Frank White to
the Indian hospital.
Gale Howard, a McNary hall boy,
is back with us from his home near
Carson City, Nevada, where he was
called because of illness in his
family.
Vernon Lane and Chester Ashman,
former students, were recent visitors
of McNary.
The first intramural basketball
program wound up with a terrific
climax which showed fine co-opera
tion in the boys' sphere of athletics.
A new program is under way which
consists of six teams under the guid
ance of the varsity players. Some of
the outstanding players of the first
round have been divided among the
different teams. The following gives
the line-up and the leaders, team
names, and their standings up to

WINONA HALL
The big thing at Winona hall now
is getting ready for the annual Open
House which we have every year on
George Washington's birthday. All
the employees, McNary 9th, 10th,
11th and 12th grades, Mrs. Detricks'
Navajo room and Mr. French's room
besides the McBride hall house offi
cers arc invited. We hope we will
have a lot of guests. The girls are
really fixing up their rooms to look
nice. The quests will vote on which is
the best looking and cleanest room in
each hall. The best rooms will get
prizes. The girls in home ec cooking
classes are making cookies. Every
one has a job to do so that we can
all do our part to make this a
success.
Canasta seems to be the popular
card game being played by the
Senior girls in the living room every
evening of late. Probably we'll have
some champion players before long.
Joyce James seems to be the one to
get it started. Monopoly and jacks,
along with jig-saw puzzles, occupy
the younger crowd.
Janice Rambeau and her Unit I
finally got to go on their Award Trip
for being the best Unit in January.
The trip was postponed the first time
because of deep snow and slippery
rc>ads but they all enjoyed the movie
and treat at the Grand Theater last
Saturday. McBride hall award group
went along in the bus also.
Mrs. Griffith entertained the House
Councillors at a "big feed" on Sun
day afternoon. Sandwiches, potato
salad, deviled eggs, coffee and many
other good things were enjoyed by
the girls.
Joyce James and Jeanette Blake
along with Miss Tedlock have put
some very attractive cowboy decals
in the Rec room to match the cur
tains and add more color to the
room.
Helen George and Mabelle Ed
wards are painting their dormitory
room. It is sage green and going to
be very pretty when they have
finished.
Winona hall house council meets
every Wednesday or Thursday night,
with a full business meeting of plans
and problems concerning the Winona
hall girls. At our last meeting we
made plans for the annual Open
House.
McBRIDE HALL
On Monday night Eleanor Rabbie's
Group 3 put on a cute play from the
story of "The Little Red Hen." It was
really good. We all laughed and en
joyed it a lot. Alice Alexander and
her little girls in Groups 1 and 2 will
put on the next program and we
know that will be good, too. This
coming Monday night is "show
night" so we will have a movie for
our House meeting up in the Rumpus
room.
The two big trees in back of Mc
Bride hall have been cut down. It
looks quite bare now but we will get
used to it.
Several of the McBride hall girls
went to Tacoma hospital, to get their
tonsils out. They were Charlotte
Moses, Diana Jerry, Josephine James
and Annetie White. We miss them
and hope they get along all right
and will be back soon.
The little girls in Group 1 and 2
were the best citizens during the
month of January so the house offi
cers entertained them at a party.
They played games. Eloise Butler,
Maxine Elwell and Alice Alexander
helped plan the games. Pop com was
served to all the girls. Roberta Mc
Devitt, Eleanor Rabbie and Pegqv
Washington pogoed the corn for the
party.' Everyone had a nice time,
/lice Alexander is in charge of
Croups 1 and 2. We have a party
every month for the Group which is
the best during the month.
At the regular house officers meet
ing last Wednesday the girls de
cided that when the McBride girls
check out the pop corn popper they
will put 5c in the little box to buy
the oil in which the corn is popped.
The oil costs quite a bit and if we
spend all of our money for that we
will not be able to buy the curtains
that we want for the play room.
