CUTTING TABLE CLIPPINGS.
The tailor shop is pleased to say that
the following order was received in an
official manner a few day ago:
Chemawa, Oregon,
Feb., 7, 1910.
Mr. Campbell: Would it be possible
to have made at the tailor shop eight
pairs of basketball trousers, white duck?
The boys would rather play in them in
stead of the short trunks now in use.
They would add to our appearance on
our trip. Respectfully,
C. E Larsen.
Approved, W. P. Campbell.
The tailor shop is pleased with this
change from partly nakedness to a bet
ter appearance and predicts that our
team while on their trip will nceive the
app'oval of every audience they per
form before, and we go on record as say
ing that all other schools will surely
follow this splendid reform. We owe
this reform to the Chemawa printers,
who firt appeared in long white satin
trousers this Fall upon the opening of
our inter-school basketball league sched
ule. The tailor shop quickly followed
with a blue serge trouser for basketball
costume, then the engineers, and now
our fast first team is costumed in a veiy
proper manner. So we hereby offer a
vote of thanks to the printers for this
good example.
"Dug" Luke and Elmer Dillstrom have
commenced to make their first pair of
trousers and we ki.ow that these boys
will continue to persevere in their efforts
until they become masters of the task
that they now vaguely understand.
John Rainville is temporarily serving
as disciplinarian and sergeant in the
small boys' detail, and his service has
proved so satisfactory that he will con
tinue in that capacity for the present.
