THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Dinner Is Served ACTIVITIES ! Paintiing (has been, very good ex perience for me; I learned there are many different kinds of paint. I ’used to think there was only one kind of paint. Billy Soplu Another boy and I were painting a toilet room at the gym. Mr. Bart lett came in and told us, “You boys are slow painters.” The next day we finished paint ing the room. Peter Walter JOHNNY LIKES AUTO SHOP This is the story about what we do in auto shop. Sometimes we have , a customer’s car to work on. We get the license number and the mileage of the oar. We make out a work order on two sheets. We write what needs to be fixed or replaced With a new part. Maybe we might have to time the motor or balance a tire. I have learned things in auto shop. I have repaired a good trans mission and have rebuilt a trans mission from two old ones. I hope to go on with auto me chanics;. I enjoy working with car parts and any kind of motor. Johnny Evans PLAN FOR LIFE AS WELL AS WORK In shop you learn how to make a plan of procedure before you work’ at what you want to make. It is eas ier if you make one, because if you don’t your work will be a little off- balance.'; If you get training and find a good job that fits you, your life will be safe and sound. Midas Koenig OUTSTANDING SHOP STDUENTS SELECTED BY CLASSMATES JLast week we had a vocational shop meeting. Boys from the fol lowing shops attended: carpenter, auto, paint, and metal. The vocational II boys selected Lee Hosteen of the carpenter shop as their outstanding shop student. The vocational I boys picked Her bert Trujillo, also of the carpenter shop, as their outstanding student. Lee and Herbert each received $5 from, the Cog Wheel Club. Each month each shop instruct or turns in the names of their two outstanding students. The boys vote, on these nominations. The boys are judged on the basis of 9 aptitudes, work habits, and conduct in class.' Felix Ohischillie COG WHEEL CLUB SPONSORS SAVINGS FUND The Cog Wheel Club, made up of students from the vocational shops, has an objective of helping the students save money for their fu ture use. The different shops have pro j ects for boys to earn money. Each boy receives his share,'and a part of this money is put into a savings account for him. This money is saved for him to use to meet his own expenses when he graduates, and goes but on ja job or into fur- jt^er vocational training. Victor Joe Norman Snare FARM JOB ROTATION At theTarm we change jobs. We all get ia chance to do many differ; ent kinds of work. In tjie dairy we feed the cows outside the barn and also inside, because cows like to eat’ a lot. We put down straw for them to lie on. They can’t stand up all day; they have to rest just like we do. We learn to drive and fix trac tors, and we learn to use them in the field. We learn how to use farm tools and how to weld parts together if they are broken. Tommy Wheeler OINK-OINK! MAA! Last month.

For instance, we use 260 loaves of bread a day—1,820 loaves a week, or 65,000 loaves a year! Helen Tsosie and I interviewed Mr. Two Stars about it. We found put that every day we use 140 gal lons of milk, 32 pounds of butter, and 5Y2 gallons of jam. For a meal we use 130 chickens, and 60 dozen eggs. The total pounds pf meat used per month are: pork, 1,256; franks, 1.036; mutton, 740; fish, 400; live:* 1, 296; beef, 1,162; turkey, 533. Mr. Two Stars said we use 260 pounds of potatoes per meal, 22 cans pf vegetables, and 60 cans of juice. We asked Mr. Two Stars how much money is spent for food in the nine months in which students are here. He said the budget in cludes $123,000 for food, and this is spent, more or less. Mary Ann Allockeok One afternoon Mr. Farring took us to the apple orchard to prune the trees. We pruned all the dead branches and the long shoots. The tools We used were loppers and saws.
