Laberta Swartz NEW COOK— FORMER STUDENT Joseph Bruno, a Chemawa stu dent changed his status from a stu dent to a full time employee as a beginning or learner cook. Joseph looks mighty sharp in his white cooks uniform. We sometime have to stop ourselves from reminding him to change his clean white clothes before he gets them dirty in the welding shop.
