says: "I wish I was able to go to school
again, to my old home at Chemawa. I
often get homesick for Chemawa to hear
the band and all the nice music that they
have down there. This is a very dull
place."

Mrs. Theisz has handed us the following
names of girls, from tables No. 1 and 2,
who have kept the most orderly and neat
est looking tables in the dining hall
throughout the week: Addie Saylor,

Baldwin. All the girls deserve credit
and many have often had their tables just
as attractive as the above named girls at
times during the week, but not for so long
a time.
