6 WINONA HALL Olga Muktoyuk, Reporting The annual posture parade was held at the Chemawa gymnasium on February 7th. There were eight marching units competing. Each unit had made a beautiful banner in the colors of its choice. The units had various marching patterned marching drills and the judges had a hard time deciding on a winner. Units 5 & 6 of Winona were award ed the trophy by Superintendent Walters. Phyllis Young accepted the trophy as she was leader of the group. After the units completed their marches all of the girls marched to rhythm of a drum beat by Jananna Castiana. The girls marched up and down stairs by spotlight. Each unit had chosen a girl to represent it as candidate for Chemawa’s first pos ture queen. The eight girls stood in a line across the gym and Mr. Walters placed a bronze medalion on an amber and gold chain around the neck of Effie Curley. Everyone cheered the queen. After the pa rade everyone was entertained at a punch party at Winona Hall. Winona Hall girls held their an nual open house on Washington’s Birthday. The building was so shiny that the visitors forgot about the gray fog outside. Despite the heavy fog many visitors inspected the girls’ rooms. A beautifully ar ranged coffee, with a red, white and blue decor was held in the dining room and living-room. On Washington’s Birthday the Cherry Blossom Ball was held in the gym. The dance sponsored by Winona Hall was by invitation- over 125 couples attended. The gym looked like a garden with white picket fences and cherry blossom trees. Couples enjoyed their coffee and punch at small tables in the garden. The punch table held a large cut glass punch bowl, red, white, and blue lighted candles and a white flower center piece. The Student Council members received their pins during the in termission. Mr. Walters, our Su perintendent, presented the pins and congratulated the members on the good job they are doing. Jane Lind and Fanny Moses sang two songs. Strange but somehow there were cherry trees blossoming all over the campus the next morning. Some girls are making Navajo and Alaskan dolls to sell during the Chemawa Birthday Pageant. Many of the dolls are being made in the classroom after school. THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Some girls are doing copper work. They draw pictures on cop per and make wall decorations. Some girls are making decorated cans to make extra money.

The following girls hâve been chosen Unit 1, Elsie Peterson, ; Unit 2, Faye Madison, Unit 3, Lena James, Unit 4, Joan Ayuluk. These girls have been chosen because of their good citfc-,. zenship. McBride girls are happy even tho they did not win the Posture Parade award. There is another year coming and we hope to im prove by then. McBride did win 2nd, 3rd and 4th places. We learned how to walk and sit cor rectly so all was not lost. : The Jobs Daughters Club holds its meetings the last Saturday of each month. Mrs. Irma Johnson, advisor from Salem, and several members of the Salem chapter help the McBride girls learn new crafts. At Christmas time the girls were taught how to make candy. The McBride girls showed the Jobs! Daughters how to prepare fry bread at the January meeting. Good friendships have developed between the girls. It is nice to be home again. That is the thought the girls ex pressed, in their notes, written to Mrs. Brannon, as they moved back into their rooms which had been repaired after the fire. The walls were repainted and new furniture was put into the rooms. One girl said it this way, “We are all happy to get back. It is good, it is fun, when we all get to our rooms.” ON PATROL Now that I’m in Boy Scouts, they have put me on traffic patrol with three other scouts. I surely do like patrol. All of us are doing our best on account of the safety of the stu dents. I hope no accidents will hap pen during the school year. Mary Augustine MITCHELL HALL Tommy Shorty, Reporting OUR KITCHENETTE One thing the boys in Mitchell Hall are enthusiastic about is the making of the new kitchenette. The boys have waited patiently for their kitchenette to be set up so that they can make some coffee and enjoy the taste of fried bread. As of this writing the walls have been painted, a new floor put in, a sink has been installed and also the dish cupboard. The most im portant thing, that which does the cooking, the stove, has not been set up yet. Oh! how we boys would like to see that kitchenette all fin ished. ART FOR THE ARTISTS In Mitchell Hall Mrs. Conner has started an art class of copper work* The boys who are interested and are participating in the class say that it is a big success. It helps in making marvelous decorations for our rooms. We have learned much working with copper so nowwe can help other students who wish to learn to do copper work. The boys would like to thank Mrs. Conner for showing us’ how to do work with copper. BREWER HALL Martin Oktollik, Reporting j The boys in Brewer Hall have been trying to improve in their housekeeping duties. We have im proved in having the floors of our rooms and the halls shiny. We think that we can still improve if we all cooperate with the matrons. The new addition to Brewer Hall is still Under construction. It is on the South side of Brewer Hall. While the construction has been go ing on the boys find the north end has been hard to keep up house keeping duties as we would like to as it is hard to keep the dust out and keep the halls and rooms clean. Unit three had a party on Febr uary 22nd. The boys invited girls to the party which was held in the Brewer Hall living room. The apartment formerly occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Wilson has been converted into a kitchenette and a reading room for the Brewer Hall boys. There has been some changing around of all the units. The Junior High boys moved to Unit Four a few weeks ago and the vocational boys to the main floor in Units One and Three.
