THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Fashion Show Sewing classes taught by Miss Phoebe McQuilkin, gave a fashion show at an assembly held in the auditorium on March 11. Back ground music, colorful dresses, the personality of the girls, and a skit which unified the whole, made it an excellent show. The setting was a cruiser called the S. S. Brazil.

Mr. Bartlett showed some of us girls how to play horseshoes. We had all watched our brothers or fathers play the game but had never really taken interest in it. —Ramona Tulee ☆ Several Chemawa students have had the opportunity of working on Saturdays. This is very good expe rience for us; it gives us training and also a chance for earning spending money. People who have employed stu dents report that they have done very good work. If Chemawa stu dents show that they are capable and willing to do a good day’s work, people will hire us. —Jay Harwood they may dance to records, play- card games or ping pong, fix puz zles, play the piano, read, write letters, or work at crafts.

The truck detail is seldom heard of, so I thought it would be a good subject to write about. This procedure is followed every day excepting Sundays: we start out by hauling the boys’ and the hospital’s laundry; then we haul trash from the dormitories, em ployees’ quarters, and vocational buildings. Boys who work on the truck detail are Randolph Wilson, James Switzler, Cyril LaClair, and How ard George. The driver is Mr. Harold Burright. —Cyril LaClair ☆ There have been many boys and girls in the hospital for colds, merely because they haven’t worn their coats or something on their heads. Now, you wouldn’t want to be one of these, would you? Of course not; no one wants to stay in the hospital and miss all the fun his friends are having while he is lying in bed! Let’s all see what we can do about that problem. Let’s wear our wraps all the time, and remind others to wear theirs. —Arlene Vaile * ☆ The senior girls are almost through with making their banquet dresses. When they finish they can remodel any clothes that they have. —Nettie Racine Last Sunday night Miss Tedlock showed a film to all Winona Hall girls. It was Share With Others. The girls thought it was very good, —Gladys Spearson We not only enjoy field trips; we think we also learn important things that will help us in the fu ture. —Marie Barr Interior—-Chemavta School, Chemawa, Oregon ☆
