THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Pages in Oregon Legislature Jane Lee, Lee LaPahie, Bert Fox glove, and myself were given the opportunity to act as honorary pages at the state legislature. I was in the House of Representa tives. Mr. Clarence Barton was the Speaker and he introduced me as a person from above the Arctic Cir cle. I felt like a real foreigner but I was also ve^y proud. I sat beside a regular page so I watched her and ‘followed whatever she did. I learned that there are certain rules one must follow to be a page. Run ning errands for the Representa tives was a very worthwhile experi ence and I enjoyed it. Jane Griest AG.

OSWEGO RETURNS THE VISIT This morning Oswego students came to visit at Chemawa. When we came back from Home Economics we went to the bus to get our guests. It was very interesting to see them again. We visited Home Economics, then we went to the dining hall and ate lunch with our guests. We came back to our classroom at 1:00 p.m. and then went on a tour of the campus. It is very pleasant to have visitors from other places. Nellie Rose Barbone BOYS EARN GATHERING BRUSH Last month three other boys and I went to work for Mr. Hashbachler. We gathered brush and piled it one pile after another/It was fun gathering brush, but at about one in the afternoon we got tired. But we kept on working. At around 4:30 we went home all tired and kind of dirty. Mr. Hashbachler asked us to work for him the next Saturday. That Saturday we worked two hours and a half because of bad weather. In these two weeks we boys each earned seven dollars and eighty cents.
