THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
CLIPPINGS FROM THE CUTTING
TABLE
We are very much pleased to report a
visit from oar companion and shopmate,
Clarence Bard well, and during his visit,
we being firm believers in ecomomy of
time, set our visitor to work cutting
trousers. It was evident that our Clarence
had not forgotten his former training at
the cutting table for he gave us a very
good demonstration of how to cut trousers
in a modern manner and we all hope
that in the near future we will have him
as a daily student, not as a visitor.
Did you notice the military attitude
of our fellow-student, Martin Sampson,
last Friday night at the sociable? All
owing to his wearing one of our double
breasted sack suits designed and made by
Leon Reinkin, who promises well for
the future by his ability.
Last week we were favored by a visit
from John Brown and his father. Mr.
Brown was very much pleased with
what he saw at Chemawa. Particularly
so with our unmatchable industrial shops
and departments where the boys and
girls-receive the training that fits them
for civil life, and usefulness.
The tailor-shop is always open for
the visits of our friends and our friends'
friends.
