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.

GIRL OF THE WEEK
Four girls from McBride Hall
have been chosen one from each
unit. The girl who has consistent
ly been a good citizen was chozen
from her unit. 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.

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.
