THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Vocational Activities 11B Girls Visit Sears 10B Cooking Class Miss Lucy Hendrick’s class of 11B girls went to Salem on March 12 to visit Sears, Roebuck & Com pany store. The purpose of the project was to study equipment needed in a kitchen and price it. Everything from floor covering to the smallest cooking utensil was included. The girls were assigned in groups to shop for kitchen furni ture, utensils, dishes, etc. They found the store clerks courteous in helping them. They showed the girls where things were to be found in the store, and explained about items. The girls thought the field trip was very interesting and that they had learned a great deal about buying kitchen equipment. Members of the class are Dixie Sellars, Delores Bennett, Willene Dumore, Margaret Kennerly, Pat Carlson, Nancy Jerry, Peggy Wash ington, and Dorothy Harris. On March 5, the 10B cooking- class and Miss Lucy Hendricks went to Keizer to visit grocery stores. The purpose of the field trip was to learn how to shop eco nomically for food items. The girls learned not only to look at prices, but also labels, for quantity and quality. The class went to a chain store, Bergs, and to a neighborhood store, Orcutt’s Market. They found out answers to their questions. They learned how it is that small stores sometimes sell an item cheaper than larger stores. The larger stores can afford to sell for lower prices, but the small stores have to do so to get business. The girls shopped in four groups, each group having a project. One group priced the food requirements for two kinds of menus, found the total costs and made comparisons. Other groups learned about the dif ferent kinds of meats and fish. Down On The Farm The boys have burned up the brush from last year’s apple tree pruning. Along the side of the orchard there were huge piles of brush to dispose of. The boys had a little trouble getting the fires started, but with the help of old tires and Diesel oil they finally got the piles to burn. The plan is to prepare a new pas ture for the dairy cows that are to go out to pasture soon. Who will win the March unit award at Winona Hall? Units 1 and 2 are competing against one another. Although unit 1 is ahead, it’s hard to tell. —Ramona Tulee ☆ In Mr. Ed Bartlett’s health class, he showed slide pictures on Eyes, Skin, and Hair. —Pat Carlson ☆ The girls in Winona Hall started playing intramural softball on March 16. There are four teams. —Nancy Jerry o Good Biscuit Makers One day the 11B girls in Miss Seaver’s home economics class were invited to Miss Hendrick’s eighth grade cooking class to test and judge biscuits made by the girls, They graded the biscuits on size, flavor, texture, color, and light ness, and used a marking system of excellent, very good, good, fair, and poor. All of the biscuits were very good. Baseball Baseball season started on March 1. The boys got in one week of baseball and then it rained. The week was spent in giving the twenty-one boys who turned out the usual throwing and batting- practice and base running. On Fri day there was a scrimmage game. Lettermen from last year are Joe Coburn, Arthur Lane, Dalton Blackwater, Arthur Bobb, Lafay ette Jerry, and Frank Pays, and all are playing this year. Chemawa’s first baseball game is with Subilimity on March 26. Track Season Is Here Laundry Has Lounge The 9B girls like their work in the laundry. Every morning each girl irons a white starched shirt, or two, if there are more to iron. This year a lounging room has been fixed up nice and neat. The girls go there to rest. Sometimes at the end of the week, Mrs. Salter, the instructor, treats the girls to coffee and cookies or doughnuts. Nice weather has made it possi ble for girls in P. E. classes to play baseball and horseshoes outside. —Lorraine Farmer ☆ Several academic classes saw movies in the visual aids room on March 3. They saw Your Occu pation, and How Much Do 1 Earn? —Pat Carlson ☆ At the farm, Randolph Wilson and I are making a batting cage where the baseball boys can prac tice. It is smaller than the one they have on the field. —Oscar Minke Since March 2, boys who turned out for track have been in training every day from 4:()() to 5 :30. The team is already in good shape; the boys should have a good season. The first track meet, the Willam ette Relays will be held at Mc Culloch Stadium on April 3. Students Visit Seminary A group of Catholic students at tended a performance of a passion play at Mt. Angel Seminary on March 13. The play The Son of Man was given by students of the seminary.

They saw the chapels, one of the classrooms, the high school recreation room, and the museum. They spent some time in the mu seum where they found the many collections interesting.
