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.
