OUR DORM
The Mitchell hall boys appreci
ate the way their building has been
painted and arranged. New beds
have been put into the students’
rooms. The arrangement of the
rooms make them more than just a
room.
The Mitchell hall boys seem very
happy with the things that they see
and do. Some of the boys like to go
to the movies on Friday nights "but
some of the older boys think that
it is more fun to go to the Friday
night dances.
Saturday is the day when the
boys can go to town and buy things
that they need' or like. The boys
are supposed to conduct themselves
properly at ail times. Many people
see us when we are in Salem.
One thing'more, all the" boys are
much interested in tasting the ap^
pies in the orchard fight now.

PLEASE WAKE ME!
If was bedtime in the dormitory.
The matron had turned the lights
out. Every girl in our room was in
her bed. The girls told me to wake
them up in the morning as soon as
I woke up. I woke up after I had
slept a long time or I thought that
I had slept a long time. I started
waking up the girls. They all got
up out of bed and went to the wash
room to wash for breakfast. The
matron heard us and came to see
what was going on. She told us to
go back to bed. I asked her what
time it was and she said, “It is only
three o’clock.” I just couldn’t be
lieve it. When I got back to my
room all the other girls were in bed
trying to get back to sleep. In the
morning, when we got up around
six o’clock, I told them, “Don’t ever
ask me to wake you up again.” The
girls laughed and said ; no they
would never ask me to awaken
them again for they wanted to
sleep all night.

new curtains, lamps and the,living

NEWS FROM WINONA
This summer all of the rooms in
the dormitory were repaired. Some
rooms both upstairs and downstairs
were repainted. Others have new
furniture such is chairs with seat
cushions on them, new dressers
along with mirrors, and beds.
There are new doors to every
room and also light switches. We
can turn the lights on and off any
time we wish without having to
turn all the lights off or on at one
time in Winona hall. It seems as
though we own the room. But then,
we have some rules as to when to
turn them off at night.
The dormitory is really nice and
neater than it was before. I’m en
joying being in my own room when
ever I’m in there. In fact, Chemawa
is a good home for everyone.

OUR BUILDING
I would like to tell you about our
building activities. We take care of
our building. We wash and polish
the floors in our building. It is im
portant that our floors are kept
nice and clean,
We have a guidance meeting
every Thursday evening in the au
ditorium. It is important that all
the boys go to the meetings. There
is a quiejt hour every evening at
eight o’clock. Then we study so we
get our home work done. That is
most important.

MITCHELL HALL'S PROGRAM
On Thursday nights the boys de
partment hold meetings in the audi
torium. At each meeting the boys
put on a program.
The boys of Mitchell hall put on
their program. It was a very good
program. It was put on by Unit One
boys. The program was called
“Heros in Books.” The boys that
sponsored the program deserve a
word of praise for a job well done.

DORMITORY LIVING
Being in a dormitory is like be
ing back home. We have our details
in the morning; in order to keep
our dormitory and the school cam
pus clean. We keep our rooms in
good shape but some rooms look
mighty fancy before clean-up time.
When we do something wrong we
have to report to the office and talk
things over for awhile with the
matron. Last week I heard that one
boy was caught by a matron as he
was running down the stairs.
Mark Harrison
THURSDAY NIGHT PROGRAMS
On Thursday night all the boys
from the dormitories go over to the
auditorium for building meeting.
Sometimes Mr. Wright, Mr. Marsh
all or Mr. Hudson talks to us. They
remind? us of the rules of the build
ings and everywhere on the cam
pus. Sometimes a dormitory will
put on a program. Sometimes the
House Council talks to us about
standards and activities. Sometimes
we see a film on conduct and stand
ards.
