BREWER HALL NEWS
Larry Larkin, Reporter
The boys in Brewer Hall have
been doing some cleaning in the
building. They have also been
cleaning their rooms because we
want the building and rooms to be
clean when we leave. We are even
washing our walls and taking down
our pictures.
All the suitcases were given out
Wednesday so the boys are begin
ning to pack getting ready to go
home. Some of the boys are nearly
packed.
We, the boys i n r Brewer Hall,
wish to thank all the matrons for
all they have done for us this year.
WINONA HALL PARTY
April 19th units five and six had
a party in Winona Hall. We girls
invited boys to the party. At the
begining of the party we had some
music and some games were play
ed? Stanley Custer and Evelyn
Johnson were the prize winners.
After refreshments were served
we all went to the gym to the
dance.
We all had a nice time and I am
sure everyone enjoyed the nice
decorations in Winona’s l i v i n g
room where the party was held.

WHAT A ROOM!
I really have enjoyed being in a
room with five girls this year. I
am surely going to miss them this
summer. At night when it was time
for bed we would all start talking
about ghosts, and tell jokes and
then the room would become full
of laughter.
When we would hear the matron
coming by for room check we would
all pretend that we were asleep.
When she would get downstairs the
giggling would start again.
I really have enjoyed being on
the Chemawa campus this year. I
have surely accomplished much in
school. Sometimes when I was in a
good mood for class I would whis
per and then I would get called on.
Thanks to all the teachers for teach
ing me many things this year.

Mrs. Kitto and her Unit had a
party. It was held in the rumpus
room. She was planning to have a
NEWS
picnic outside but the rain stop
ped that and besides it has been
too cold for a picnic. The girls all
had a nice time at the party and
they liked the refreshments. They
enjoyed playing the games.
Some of the girls who have not
been going, to the Friday night
dances are going now. The girls
like the activity.
Mrs. Frances Ryan, who came in
to help in place of Mrs. Benally
left April 15th for a new job in
Albany, Oregon. Mrs. Benally has
her baby boy so we hope that she
will be back soon. We miss her.
Sunday afternoon, twenty-eight
girls went for a walk with Mrs.
McMurty. The weather was lovely.
We saw, many beautiful flowers,
there were red t u l i p s , pansies,
primroses and many other kinds.
We enjoyed our walk very much.
On April 23rd we had our Unit
party in the gymnasium. Mrs. Tur
ner, our matron, helped us to plan
for it. We played games and had a
good time.

MITCHELL HALL
Frank Frank, Reporter
We have been fixing our bulletin
boards here in Mitchell Hall. We
drew pictures of the airplanes and
busses which the students will ride
while they are returning home
from Chemawa. I guess everyone
is happy to go home and see their
folks once again.
I know that the boys and girls
will miss Chemawa but they will be
glad to get home. It will be good
to return here for our education
and learn more things about the
modern world.
I wish all the boys, girls and
staff members have a nice sum
mer and have fun.
There are many hazards around
the home, away from home and on
the highway. When you come to a
street, look both ways before
crossing. When approaching rail
road tracks, do the same. If a train
is coming, WAIT, do not try to
beat it. You might fall and it is
hard to tell how fast a train is
traveling.
If you p r a c t i c e safety, your
friends will notice and it might
make them safety conscious. In
that way you will be helping oth
ers as well as protecting yiurself.

CATS
When my teacher moved across
the campus last fall she had to
leave a little stray kitten at the
Teachers Cottage where she had
been living. She did not want the
little kitten to go hungry so she
has had me feeding it but since
she left there have been three oth
er kittens come so now we feed
four.
I really have fun feeding them.
I get a can of cat food and a pint
of milk from Miss Morse after
school. On Saturdays and Sundays
I go to her place to get the food.

BOYS" INTRAMURALS
Levi Lott, Reporter
The Intramural program is going
along well. We are having a billiard
tournament, a volley ball tourna
ment, a track and field meet next
week and softball. All the tourna-
will be completed but soft-
ball. The wet weather will stop us
froni finishing that one. At the end
of these tournaments, a very nice
trophy will be given to the winning
classroom of our Recreational In
tramural League. Many classrooms
have a very good chance to win it.
