Anonymous A Cappella Singers Job Opportunities Survey Mr. Wright Noel, instructor in agriculture, and Mr. Edgar L. Wight, agriculture specialist, were in central Oregon in the Burns Prineville, and Redmond region during the week December 4-10, in the interest of student placement. They visited large stock, hay, and small grains farms, inquiring into job opportunities. The results of the trip are that there is assurance that all boys who are interested in ranching and farming jobs, can be placed in that region upon gradu ation from Chemawa. The girls of Winona Hall have fire drills quite often. In the last fire drill everybody got out of the building in less than two minutes. At any time, when the bell rings and keeps on ringing, the girls real ize that they have to shut their win dows and doors and leave the dor mitory in an orderly fashion. The girls in south hall downstairs leave from the side door; those in north hall downstairs leave by the back door; and the girls who live up stairs go out the front door. They line up with their councilors, who take roll and report to Miss Chal lis or Miss Tedlock. While the roll is being taken, the matrons check the building to see if all the doors and windows have been closed.
