Justin Pinkham, KITCHEN-DINING HALL ACTIVITIES The kitchen and dining hall play an important part in the lives of the students at Chemawa. Since there are so many to feed, a schedule is made for cooking and serving the food and for cleaning after meals. Mr. Fournier, head of the kitchen department, instructs the 11 and 10A girls in quantity cooking. It takes a great deal of food to feed 610 stud ents three times a day, and the kitchen helpers learn the amount of food needed. This training may be of value to these girls later on. The girls attend kitchen classes on alternate days. The dining hall is kept clean and tidy by the Winona hall girls. A detail is assigned to clean after each meal. Mrs. Faulkner, dining hall matron, directs and checks the work. The Navajo boys take care of the dish room. Their task is to wash all trays, silverware, cups, etc. used by the students. OUR PROGRAM Every grade has to act out a pro gram. We had ours on December 6th. I was a doctor in one of the plays. Some girls were nurses. My patient was a little boy. He had a broken leg. I had to fix it for him. He was brought in on a stretcher. When I looked up there were a lot of people looking at me.—Austin Phillips, 4th grade. JUNIORS.
