THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAINTING A NEW HOUSE Leslie Saganna, Billy Soplu,. Pe ter Walter, Paul Evan, Cecil. Har vey, and I are taking painting'for our vocational training. We have been able to prove our abilities as painters. We have painted the . entire surface of a new house. Some of the ceilings were of special texture that is real soft. We varnished the kitch- | en ¿cabinets, the doors and wood work. We know that the appearance of this house could have been ruined i f ; we had smeared paint on new wood surfaces where it did not belong. Now, after our ex perience, we boys think that we know what we can do if we ever get a painting job. Welch Mathlaw.

The boys can study better with the good lights now we can not use the old excuse that the lights were too poor to do our home work. The boys should be grateful for the new lamps and take good care of them. The boys all enjoy the cofee hour which we have every Satur day and Sunday. Some of the boys help serve coffee. McNary Hall still have some Na vajo. boys that have the gift and knowledge of making good fry bread. These boys make fry bread and sell them for lOc and 5c de pending on the size of the piece of bread. We all enjoy eating fry bread. On February 17th Mr. Matt took the group of McNary Hall Unit leaders on a trip to Bachelor Butte, The story is in the paper. Lucky Lee L. Begay won a re cord at Meier & Frank Store in Sa lem. Lee is to go in town and pick out the record that he wants. Congratulations Lee. SUNDAY DINNER On Sunday, January 20, our Sun day school’ class had a dinner over at Miss Old’s home. While we were there we watched television and looked at annuals. We had chick en with biscuits and other good things, and had a wonderful time. Larry Nez. OUR TRIP TO THE NEWSPAPER PLANT At the newspaper plant, we saw the movable type. This method had been discovered by the Chinese several hundred years ago. It was thought that Johann Gutenberg, a Gerinan, was the first European printer to use the movable type. Jacob Philip. A DAY IN TOWN Last Saturday a' number of boys went to town. Lewis Wesley and I were among them. After we all left the bus everyone seemed to be go ing places except Lewis and me. We didn’t know where to go so we decided to just walk around and look’ at things for a little while. Lewis suggested that we go to Pikes Ice Cream place and have something to eat and drink. After we had finished eating I asked Lewis if he would like to go to the YWCA. He said that h e, would so we went there. There were many boys swimming in the pool and Lewis joined them. Man can that boy swim and dive. I watched them for a little while and then I went to the Payless Drug store to wait for Lewis. I wanted to buy some things in the drug store. Lewis met me there at 4:00 o’clock and then we came back to^hemawa. We had a good time On our trip to Salem. Dale Nashalook.

Our Home Economics teacher showed us how to use the instrument. After we learned how to use the microscope we started looking at everything we could find. One girl took a hair from her head and we looked at it. The split end of the hair looked like a tree. Some other girls from another classroom came to see and use the microscope. It is interesting to look at things through a microscope. Mary Lois Tritt * Experiments With Sounds The last couple of weeks we have have been experimenting with sounds with glasses with water in them. We also used two spoons and a string on the end of the spoon. We listened to see which makes more noise; the spoon with a string to our ears, or the spoon hitting something without the string. The string hëlped to make more noise. We also put a glass with paper in side of it and we put it up to our ear and listened. First, we listened with the pape rinside of it and then without the paper. We learned that without the paper it makes more noiSe. We get all these but .of the science book about experiments of sounds. It’s really fun. Bertha Parker * * * Weather For the past few weeks we have had very nice weather. It gets cloudy for awhile and then the sun shines. Even with the sunshine it has been quite cold. I don’t; blind this kind of weather because we have the same kind at home. My home is in Klawock, Alaska, My dad wrote and said that this is the first winter that there has been snow at home in ,four years. He wrote that the snow only lasted one day, then it melted. I Surely wish that I could see a lot of snow again. In Oregon I like the sunshine and the cold but I do not like the rain. Rain, rain, please stay away! Blanch Isaacs Students and teachers are experi menting with a new technological device that has just recently been put into use in academic. It is the thermofax overhead projector. In every room where it has been used the results have been pleasing Harry Boone. ?
