Wprm Spring Itema
We are glad to gee the Chemawa Amer
ican come again, although we have been
too busy or too lazy or having too good
a time or something to attend to filling
the space they have been kindly allow
ing Warm Springs to have in its. col
limns,
Christmas has passed and a jolly old
time we had, too, and a good dinner,
Grace Benjamin went on at' a great
length about (toasting the turkey" and
one of us hoys told her that tho time
would have been better spent in learrb
ing to toast a pleoe of bread so it was fit
for a fellovy to eat when he wae siok,
Rhe also said something about us boys
needing heads, Heads indeed! Why,
we hove have been looking all the year
for some nice hlooks to saw beads out of
for some of those girls, We have felt m
porry for them J '
Then, on New Years eve, Miss Collins
and Miss Partow gave a party and some
of the boys nd girls were invited and
that was another good time, How
we did make the old bell ring when the
the clock struck twelve! And last night,
at the very het soeial of the season, we
boys, and our industrial teacher .Mr,
John Polk, introdnoed Mte Collins anil
the girls to the Warm Mprlnss school
colore, And you ought to have seen
thoae girls faces; they would have froa
water in July, or turned the milk enur,
if they had looked at it. Tint alter wa
had behaved our very nicest j ami got-.
ton them to join in guv school yell tlu,v
