VALEDICTORIAN AND
SALUTATORIAN CHOSEN
Miss Seaver's class in foods saw
the movie, "Something You Didn't
Eat," which dealt with the classes of
food needed in their daily diet. A
chain was used as a symbol .of
health and each link represented a
class of food needed by everyone's
body. It showed scurvy as a result
of men on a ship being only able to
get meat, broth and bread. Scurvy
is caused by lack of vitamin C. The
chain of health was broken for these
men as they could not get any fresh
fruits or vegetables to furnish vita
min C.

SHOPS HAVE OPEN HOUSE
On Friday, March 21, the shops
had open house to which the entire
student body, staff members and
friends were invited to see the shops
and the things that were on display.
The tour started at the auto shop
where the mechanics under the sup
ervision of Mr Speed repair motors
and correct other mechanical de
fects. From the auto shop the visi
tors went to the shoe shop and
barber shop to view their equipment.
The carpenter shop had much hand
work which the boys had made on
display. Mr. Matt's boys had made
many interesting articles, such as
lamp shades, book ends, and picture
frames. The print shop displayed
samples of programs that Mr. Shep
ard and printing students had print
ed. In the electric shop a flying
saucer, swimming gold fish, (that
were not alive), and a lighted light
bulb and radio speaker hung by
shoestrings took everyones attention.
The plumbing shop displayed a
faucet suspended from the ceiling
by a string from which water was
flowing.

located at Salem, and thinks that
a large tract will be given. Although
the employees and us children have
subscribed money to buy land at
Newburg. Yet if they will give a
better place at Salem we would be
glad to take it. We like Forest Grove
but we do not own it. We do not
like to build our school on other
people's land. We want this school,
land, buildings and everything to
belong to the Indians (Indian Citi-
