THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
CUTTING TABLE CLIPPINGS.
The tailor shop force is, as usual,
busy as bees; bubbling over with
good things and good tidings. Perfect
quiet, good order and earnest effort is
manifest everywhere. Ever'body is
making progress and accomplishing some
good now which will return to them in
the future with a "well done" smile.
Alex Cajete is busy making full dress
costumes for members of the Nesika Club,
which are to be worn at the entertain
ment this evening. The sartorial effort
of the tailor shop will be worth the price
of admission to this high cl iss entertain
ment. So get acquainted with the style
(a la minstrel boy), put on your glad
rags and mingle with .-ociety tonight. It
will prove to be a good remedy for the
"blues' and , the aforesaid golden smile
will appear.
- Nick Hatch cut and trimmed six paks
of trousers for the printers' basketball
team, and we wish to state that Nick is
doing excellent work at his chosen trade.
His efforts are beginning to assume the
appearance of completeness and his work
at the cutting table is most encouraging.
The Chemawa system of training a boy
must be very excellent, as we have met
prominent educators at our school who
expressed surprise at our splendid me
chanical departments and what they are
doing for the students. They stated
that they wou Id endeavor to introduce
into their school a system similar to
ours'. There is not to be found any
where a school in tailoring that will
compare with Chemawa, where the boy
has the excellent opportunity of prepar
ing himself to become master of the task
at which he is engaged. All a Chemawa
boy need ask for is raw material he
can do the rest. Why? Because he is
trained, and stored away in his mind he
has knowledge that he cannot sell, bar
ter, mortgage, or lose, and which in time
of need proves a source of help and com
fort to him. It is the way by which he
commands the respect of his fellow man
and sesame that opens the door of op
portunity. The tailor shop is full of op
portunity for the boy who is looking for
it and we have room for more good boy
now, so if you want to become a good
tailor, get into the tailor shop and be
patient Working;, and working, and
working, ever' working, is the price vou
must pay for your success. He who be
comes discouraged because he must work,
work, work, will not find a resting place
in the tailor shop. Tailor Shop.
