THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
CUTTING TABLE CLIPPINGS
The tailor shop is in a perfect state of
activity, sewing, pressing and cutting.
The demand upon our services are con
stant and continuous and we are obliged
to hustle. But we find that the more we
hustle the more we like the exercise
During the past week we have en
deavored to reclaim a number of old
suits, both uniform and school. We ex
pect to finish them very soon, then we
can commence on new work, when we
will be able to make some favorable re
ports upon the progress of our coat-makers
and the members of our cutting class.
This is always a very pleasant season to
us, as it means the practical application
of what we have taught during the
previous season.
It should be the aim of all boys in the
tailor shop to endeavor to fit themselves
so that in the busy season they will be
found (like a prop) dependable and capa
ble to be leaned upon a present help.
The tailor shop has a full supply of such
and a large supply that promises well for
the future bos s who are yet untrained.
We are always pleased to make a
good report and can say that we have
several boys who promise to develop in
to good all-round mechanics of the
Cajete variety, and that variety pleases
the tailor shop.
Barney Wilson is giving good satisfac
tion. He is sticking at it, and thot is
the great secret of success in the tailor
shop. We trust that in the near future
we will be able to write something more
definite of what he can do (well). Tail
or Shop.
