Cups Are Not a Decoration
Students, you all have probably
seen our lawns covered with cups
from the dining hall. No, they are
not there for decoration.
Students have been taking the
cups containing coffee, punch, and
milk out of the dining hall. After
taking the cups out the students
finish their beverage and dispose of
the cups on the lawn outs me of tne
dining hall, or take them to the
dorm.
The dining hall personnel or emp
loyees have to go outside the din
ing hall and to the dorms to collect
the cups. If they don’t, we won’t
have anything to drink out of.
Having to go out and pick up cups
and drinking glasses creates more
work for the employees of the dining
hall. The employees of the dining
hall go out after every meal to col
lect the cups, and bring them back
to the dining hall and wash them.
All of the dining hall personnel,
would appreciate very much if the
students would stop taking cups
from the dining hall.
Students Should Stop Skipping
Why do students skip classes?
We asked a few people who were
skipping at the time and this is
what some of them said.
One student said, “ I don’t like
that teacher.” “ Nothing to do in
'th ere,” another complained.
“I
don’t want to go to class half shot,”
said a third. A fourth said, “ I don’t
feel like going to c la ss.”
We interviewed the last Chemawa
Mickey Appeen
Did anyone hear about the bold
mouse who broke into the PE staff-
room in the gym? Well, it was
caught in the act of taking a few
bites from the basketball team’s
sack lunches after the Cascade-
Chemawa game.
It was reported that the entire
basketball team, plus Mr. Lippy and
Mrs. Papenfus, gave chase to the
mischievous rodent. It was appre
hended around 10:35 pm and charged
with robbery.
Another mouse was seen in Unit
One of Mitchell Hall running from
room to room looking for something
to eat, and it finally did in Room 4.
The tennants of Room 4 gave chase,
but Mickey was too swift for them.
Yet another mouse was spotted in
Room 24 of Mitchell Hall, but the
fearsome mouse-catchers there were
in a rather lazy mood and did not
give chase. If any other members of
the Mouse Gang are spotted on cam
pus, the American would like to
know about it.
storekeeper and asked him a few
questions about how many students
skip in the store area. He said that
around three students skipped there
regularly, usually the same three.
We asked him if be knew why they
skipped. He answered that he ask
ed them why and the only answer he
got were, “ Too boring,” or “ I’m not
learning anything, so why should I
go?” or “ I don’t like that c la s s .”
Every school has at least a few
problems with some of the students
attending. We at Chemawa have a
few too, and this is one of them.
