THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
WOOD BUTCHERS.
Just delivered Mr. .Chalcraft's side
board and china closet. Now we are
getting up two hundred chairs for Mitch
ell Hall. We shall commence a man
tel for Mr. Chalcraft's residence soon.
We are always busy and would ask the
boys to not loaf in our department, as
we don't care to invite you out. And
we. don't want to lose any time, as we
have only one-half day in our depart
ment and we want to improve our time.
This week will mark the closing of our
school Basketball league, which in the
opinion of many of it supporters ha? been
very helpful and successful in ways too
numerous to mention.
CUTTING TABLE CLIPPINGS.
The tailor shop is, as is usual, pleased
to report a very pleasant week in all
ways, anil for many things we are thank
ful, among which the progress of our
work and our workmen. In a short time
we will be able to point to another of
our apprentices who will have progressed
in his knowledge of trouser-making
sufficiently to enable him to take up the
study of the cutting of that garment.
This last, but helpful step, enables a boy
to feel firm in his understanding of
manufacture, for he now can take . the
raw material, . and by the knowledge
that he has gained while an apprentice
in the tailor shop at Chemawa sponge,
cut, trim, make, and deliver a garment
that has a marketable value. It is no
make-believe; it is a real, dependable,
valuable product, with the dollar mark
stamped upon his meritorious effort.
Such effort spells the success that will
"surely come to the boy who toils patiently.
In a recent issue we spoke of Elmer
Dillstrom and Douglas Luke who have
commenced to make trousers. Though
only a short time has passed, their
progress has been so satisfactorily that
we like to convey good tidings to their
friends, and predict that these two boys
will be very successful in the future.
In fact, we are surrounded by a class of
boys who are skillful, attentive to duty,
who are industrious, and dependable. A
class of boys that can be trusted to do
just what is right, and for this the tailor
shop gives thanks for the splendid evi
dence of the jesult of the training to be
received at Chemawa.
We, the tailur shop, cheerfully extend
the crown of victory to the Blacksmiths,
who very ably defended their right to try
to win, which tney did perfectly, without
l he loss of a game, a very remarkable
performance and an acheivement seldom
performed in atheletic sports or games.
But this school demands a knowl
edge of the best, and in order to meet
that demand an all-siar team has been
selected to play the Blacksmiths and
that will close the basketball season in
a most, fitting manner. The all-star
team will be composed of the following
players subject to the evidence of efforts
in the practice work: Luther Clements,
Waiter Haight, Alden Clark, Thos. Pow
ers and Joe Charles; Ed Staengar(sub)
Coaches: Mr Teabo and Mr. Larsen,
Hour of practice to be announced by
office. ' Game to be played Monday
evening, March 14th, 1910. Referee to
be some competent official from Saieni.
