THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
CUTTING TABLE CLIPPINGS.
Most all of the shops in school have
organized a basketball team. And all
are preparing for the coming battle they
will have for the championship of the
school. They expect the Blacksmith to
be'the champions this year. The engi
neers expect to be second in the school
league.
The tailor shop reports everybody
busy and consequently contented. The
whir of the sewing machines and the
clip, clip of the shears, accompanied by
the ring of the iron as it meets the
horseshoe tand, makes music to the ar
of the trained apprentice in the tailor
shop. He knows wlat the n. anii.g.
of the sound is and feels comforted
thereby, because he realizes he is part of
this busy scene and it means progress,
and out of this activity he comes with a
new knowledge, a new understanding,
and better ability. This is our daily
industrial life at Chemawa.
"All work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy." But that's not the policy of
Chemawa, as is evidenced by the organ
ization of the inter-school basketball
league for the championship of Che
mawa, and we are at liberty to say that
the cirpenters and blacksmiths are vveil
costumed and preparing for the coming
contest.
The tailors ha ve been so busy making
basketball suits for their friends that
they found it necessary to delay their
own, but we expect to be both seen and
heard from when the time comes. So
keep your eye on the Knights of the
Shears and watch the ball go around.
We are pleased to report the return of
Douglas Luke. We predict success for
for this youth by sticking to his trade.
