Chemawa American
Waitresses End Year's Work
by Mildred Ward
The w aitresses closed the school
year by taking some well-earned trips.
The waitress club has taken two
trips for their hard work and wonder
ful memories they have brought to the
students of Chemawa.
The club took a trip to Ka-Nee-Ta,
in Warm Springs, Oregon, where the
girls divided the money earned through
out the year. Each girl got $8.00 to
spend on the trip. They also took a
trip to the Pacific City Beach on the
Oregon coast.
The w aitresses this year have had
three-hour training classes for 39
weeks.
The total hours of actual
training and serving in banquets is
approximately 24 hours.
The waitresses will be serving for
the last time at a senior brunch on
Monday, May 22 in the student dining
hall.
Mr. Douglas comments, “ I believe
I have had the best class of girls this
year than I have had in eight years.”

Servers Lynn M iller, Sandra George and
Iris Big Spring wait for the next charge of
the Chemawa chowhounds.
How much
chow did they put away? Read on.
Girls from Winona and some boys
went to the beach at Pacific City for
an outing May 14.
When everyone arrived the students
went down to the beach. Some went
in the water, some climbed the sand
hills and others explored different
areas of the beach.
Dining H a ll Has ‘ Urp ! '
by Mildred Ward
Cramton Hall, the Chemawa Student
Dining Hall, has been one of the
busiest, but most pleasurable, places
for both students and staff.
Mr. Earl Douglas, Director of Food
Services, estimates that the students
and staff consumed about 471,600
individual meals during the past school
year. And another 1230 meals were
served 'a t special dinners and- ban
quets.
Nearly half a million meals is im
pressive, but just how much food did
Chemawa manage to put away?
Begin with 12,160 pounds of butter,
which was spread on 17,320 loavei' of
bread and 528,768 dinner rolls. With
this went 124,800 pounds of meat,
156,000 pounds of vegetables of all
kinds, 81,120 pounds of fruit and
689,600 pints of milk.
How much did this year-long pro
cession of food cost? Approximately
$165,000. That sounds like a lot, but
it breaks down to about $612 per day
for the entire student body or $1.02
per day for each individual student.
Cost for the staff, who ate at Cramton
only occasionally, was about $10,800.
There is a bad side to the picture
too. 1180 forks were lost or damaged
during the school year, and the cost
for repairing or replacing was $107.
They had a weiner roast for lunch
and Mr. Lincoln barbequed steaks on
the beach for all the students for din
ner.
The chaperones were Mrs. Begay,
Mrs.Hutchins, Mr. and Mrs. Eoff, Miss
Benson and Miss Phair.
Everyone had a great time.
Big Year
1324 spoons were lost or damaged,
and the bill there was $217.80. 750
knives vanished (with some help) and
the cost of replacing or repairing them
was $257.30.
The Dining Hall also had, lost oi
damaged, 288 salt and pepper shakers
($45.60), 1337 cups ($588.30), 993
tumblers ($431.60), and 16 pitchers
($84.80).
Leona Jim, Rose George, Ronni Wesley and Lindsay Howtopat take care o f four of
the approximately 471,600 meals served this year in Cramton H all. And all of them
were good, too.
