At the school this attack was expected for we had the honor to be interviewed. by “our friend,” De Guire. “Our friend’s” report has aroused the curiosity of many as to how these reds lived at that “secluded camp.” For the benefit of those whose interest has been aroused I will attempt to give a description of how we deported ourselves at Waina., The pleasure, |the joy and the growth in Body and¢#——-—__—_—— mind by the students cannot be con- veyed, however, they must be experi- enced, Our school had fifty-seven students, two instructors, a cook and a lady helper. One can imagine the problem our director had. Fifty-seven active, young people on his hands to educate, teed, discipline, and provide lodging \for for five weeks and then return them to their homes healthy and sat- isfied and ready to do Communist work. It is to the credit of Com- rade Hayes that this he accomplished. The method used to accomplish this task is very interesting. The responsibility of administration was given to the student body. The first two days of school was spent in organizing for the work ahead and in getting settled at our various living quarters. The students were lodged at, fourteen different farm houses in the vicinity of the school. The farthest being two and a half miles away and the nearest a quarter of a mile. The two ladies and six boys stayed at the hall. The student body organization was in two sections. One was the student. branch of the league and the other was the student council with the working committees. The student branch was .a model league branch with officers and committees, Much of its work was practice for branch training, that is, we went thru the formalities of branch functions and to gain experience. However, where there was a chance to do real work it was done, The officers and com- Mittees of the branch were as fol- lows: ‘Organizer. ‘Recording secretary. Membership secretary. Treasurer. Literature agent with a committee of two. Educational director with a com- mittee of four. * Social director. Sport directors: One girl and one boy. “Yowlec committee of seven. (This wis the staff of the Wall newspaper.) “* he executive committee, composed all officers of the branch. be New officers and committees were étéeted each week so as to give stu- dénts experience in branch work. ‘There was some exceptions to this ‘Gowever. The social committee was Permanent thruout’the course for it had the task of providing constant re- ation and entertainment for the student body. Also the first educa- tional committee was made permanent due to the nature of its work, A uni- form record of our meetings was de- sired so the office of recording secre- g)| tary was made permanent. The other officers and committees performed their routine branch func- tions and whenever actual work was to be done they took it up, For ex- ample, the athletic directors organiz- ed two track meets and a track team that took part in the events at Su- perior. They raised money and bought balls and bats for the play grounds and conducted the drill dur- ing exercise periods. They lined up a student base ball team and played a local team. They also conducted swimming parties, On July Fourth and fifth, the stu- dents held two street meetings at Superior, Wis., distributed five thou- sand anti-imperialist leafléts, sold twenty-five dollars worth of defense stamps, took part in a Finnish district track meet, disposed of a hundred DAILY WORKERS by selling them on the streets. In this work all the branch committee took active part. The literature committee handled the literature. A defense committee was created to supervise the sale of de- fense stamps. The educational com- mittee furnished the speakers and so on. Beside establishing the Yowlec, a wall newspaper, the educational committee organized group study cir- cles, made an outline of the cours: and helped provide posters. With the exception of the student committee and those marked perma- nent, everyone took his or her turn at work. .On the, bulletin board was a chart with all the names of the students. Each morning one saw by that the chart if he was on a work- ing committee for the day. Chair. men were appointed whose duty it was to see that all necessary work for the day was done by the ‘com- mittees. This was done to silence the confusion that resulted from the committees not knowing their parti- cular tasks each day, The work of these committees was routine. The kitchen committee washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen after each meal. The clean- up committee swept out the large hall and dining room each day and kept things in order, The yard com- mittee picked up the paper and re- fuse about the yard, repaired fences, fixed drive-ways, dug ditches to bury refuse, in other words took care Of designs for eral, The two boys'on the fire wood school House a quarter of a mile away with the help, of a farmer’s Ford. Every Monday there was a general clean-up in, which every one took part. The floors would be scrubbed, the rubbish pile burned, or some im- provement installed. In regard to this last, the boys built themselves an out-house for sanitation that was a real contribution of their proletarian dexterity. Vollintary work was also common, Many of the small irregu- lar jobs weteldone by volunteer help, such as putting screen netting on the windows of-the hall, repairing the board walks) of\"building racks for pa- pers and books: This form of work was encouraged and the principle of it was one ‘of the secrets of the suc- cess of the school. While on this matter of work it can be said that at the school’ work was never de- graded. {ft was never used as a form of punishment, it was never condemn- ed as a necessary evil. The housing committee.was one of those cOmmittees that took over much of that detail work that would other- wise have worried the school director. It had the task of providing comfort. All the complaints and needs of the students were handled by this com- mittee. It procured water pails and dippers for drinking water, basins and pails tor washing, lanterns and oil for lights, mattresses and hay for cots. It distributed the blankets so that no one had too much or too little coy- ering. Students who entered late and over night visitors were provided lodging by the committee. The health supervisors were Com- rade Hayes and Comrade Helander. The most’ ‘serious ailment at the school was'a case of mumps. Beside all the necéssary sanitary precautions, short talks on health and care of the body were given several times a week in class by the director. At the school there were no major breeches of conduct such as stealing, fist fighting, etc. The labor discipline was remarkable in so far as no one intentionally evaded duty when his turn came. Latge special work com- mittees would be filled by volunteers at the first-eall. This achievement was not accomplished by a strict hand of authority being held over the students,...l4, was just the opposite. The conduet and administration of student affairs was inthe hands of a student committee, composed of ten members. The rules were few. No unnecessary restrictions were impos- ed on the students. No smoking in the hall, no'trespassing thru the kitch- en, everyone in his living quarters at ten o’eclock except on special occa- sions when the student body would set the time to be in, these were three of the most important. When the committee brought these rules in for approval there was a long discussion before they were accepted. The na- ture of the discussion showed that the student body'really felt that the com- mittee was their representative body rather than an authority put over them. The concensus of opinion was in order to study we must have plenty of sleep; therefore, the ten o'clock Tule was good; it insured us sleep against our natural inclination to stay out late at times. What would happen if the rules were broken? Occasionally they were broken. Some young fellow would come rushing home five or ten minutes after ten. His clock had tailed him, or else the road had de- ceived him. Now, such mis-demean- ors did not require action by the stu- dent committee. These belated and unfortunate homecomers would re- ceive the necessary corréction at the hands of his roommates, A cold duck in the creek; would cool” his heated without except brow. At each living quarter of the boys there was a code of house rules which the occupants themselves had drawn /up, and for breaking of each rule there wag the designated punish- ment. These! rules also included the ten o’clock law of the school. Duck- ing was the universal form of punish. ment for it twas both effective and enjoyable (forithe duckers). Thus our life at Waino was organ- ized., This deseription is quite gener- al and mechanical, but from it one can get an iq a of how we spent our pastime, accomplished our routine work, and at the same time kept our- selves healthy and ready for study. There are othe? phases of our life that Were not touctfed on; such as washing clothes, takimg steam baths, receiv. ing mail, etc, Each one of these items was done in a unique and interesting way—peculiar to Waino Hall. But these phases of our activities were not organized and therefore were not dealt with. Our social life conducted thru the above described organiza- tion was a big part of our education, outside of ouryactivity and study in the class rooms Thru it we learned self-discipline, responsibility to our or- ganization, group living, and lastly, practical org: ition functions that we will use eyery day in our work in the league. I Cdn say for the students that we considered “Waino Days’. the happlest days of our lives, 9D $ — oy comimittee filled the’ wood bin each day.
