o o THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN V o ca tio n a l A ctivitie s Basketball Farm Boys See Welding Demonstration Code Practice Stations Set Up The Lincoln Welding Company, a California company, sent a man to Chemawa to show some slides and movies on welding. The Slides were on different kinds of welding machines, the way they work, and the caution to be taken while weld ing. The movie showed projects made by people who used Lincoln welders. It showed thé advantages of owning welders and knowing how to weld: saving time and money, and being fitted for weld ing jobs. ; At the electric shop William Wyman and Charles Wyman are working on a project, setting up two stations for Morse code prac tice at McNary Hall. At first the project, consisting of two keys (one for each station) and ah os cillator, seepied simple, but cit turned out to be quite complicated- The boys got it to work, and npw they will move the whole thingtover to McNary Hall. They plan on add ing a third station later. Chemawa now stands with three losses and two wins in basketball. Since the Sublimity game, the Braves have lost to Gervais by two points, and have defeated Oregon School for the Deaf by eight points, and Detroit by sixteen points. In the last quarter of the Ger vais game here, Gervais was in the lead by two points. Stalling for time, they held the ball for some minutes, James Switzler, a Che mawa player, got the ball and made a basket. He didn’t quite beat the buzzer which ended the game, and the score remained 45-47.. in favor of Gervais. . ...., Farewell Party Automatic Ironers Demonstrated Chemawa Contribution Insures TV Repairs The girls who work in the kitchen eat a lunch about 10:30 eyery morning. One morning dur ing the last week of the semester, Mr. Fournier, our instructor, let us fry hamburgers and potatoes, and make punch We enjoyed the lunch and were glad to do what we are always expected to do,—eat every thing that is on our tray, and clean up afterwards. Time Out for Extra Assignment 1 For" two ‘ weeks the carpenter shop boys did nob have much time to work on their^ Regular project, the building of tHê hew electric shop, They were kept busy build ing stands for the 'Christmas trees used on the campus ; and building à stand for selling hot dogs, coffee, and punch at the New Years dance. General Shop We go to shop every day. We enjoy our shop. Our shop instruc tor is Mr. Sneddon.-' He. is. a good instructor We have been going to. shop for three years. Shop helps us tp learn many things.W hether we are go ing to be a carpenter, or not, we can, learn to build and repair things for ourselves. On December 24 the third year girls went to home economics class. All the fifth year girls were there too. A lady from Salem came and demonstrated how to use an auto matic electric ironer. She showed us how to iron different kinds of clothing. She showed us how to change the cover too.. After she showed us how to use it, one of the girls ironed some aprons and napkins. We should know how to use the ironer because we may need to know how to use it when we get a job. Shop Students Learn from Illustrated Talks On January 7, William S. Van Meter, deputy commissioner, .and Don M. Thomas, assistant director, apprenticeship council, both from the Oregon Bureau of Labor, gave illustrated talks to the afternoon shop classes. Three movies were shown, W hy Y ou S h ou ld S ta y in S ch ool, A p p ren ticesh ip T ra in in g , and F a ir E m p lo y m en t P ra ctice. The speakers urged the boys to stay in school to build up a background for apprenticeship training, and told them to take advantage of every opportunity that comes up. Laws regarding fair employment practice were explained. The shops department sponsored a sale of refreshments at the New Years dance. Proceeds, from the sale amounting to. $46.72 were con tributed to a fund to be used for the maintenance of TV at Cushman Indian Hospital in Tacoma, Wash ington. Chemawa employees added to the proceeds from the sale, and a check for $50.00 has been sent to Mr. Raymond Motanic, chairman of the Tribesmen TV Committee, sponsors of the project. .- New Risers Appreciated The risers rebuilt by Mr. V, J, Matt and his shop boys, were fully appreciated on December 24 when the choruses and their director, Mrs. Johannaber, gave a concert. The rebuilding of the risers was necessary because of the change in floor space resulting from the in stallation of new seats in the audi torium, but the new risers have several advantages. They accommo date more singers, bring the rows of singers closer together, enable the singers to see the director eas ily whether she is standing in. front of them or is at the piano, and make, it possible when, the chorus is singing from the stage, for the audience to view the back row sat isfactorily.
