The breakfast given by the Y. W. C. A. girls under the supervision
of Mrs. Brace, advisory member, was in every way a success, $26.00 be
ing realized.
Mr. J. L. Johnson arrived a few days ago from Lame Deer, Montana,
where he had been teaching in one of the day schools. He has been as
signed the fifth grade and Miss White has been given the sixth grade,
taking Mr. Fickle’s room.
One particular little “ Beauty Spot” that attracts and holds attention
is the bed of pink and red tulips which is located just in front of the of
fice. Originally the pink tulips were white, but pollenization has
turned them to a pretty pink color.
Peter Fontaine and Armidee Juneau, seventh grade boys, gave inter
esting talks during recent chapel exercises. Peter told about Glacier
Park, Montana, which is near his home. Armidee talked about the
fine farming land of Alberta, Canada, which is a good wheat section.
Miss White told the story of the “ Flying Dutchman” to the students
in chapel Monday morning. Miss Brewer rendered one of the selections
from the opera, “ The Spinning Wheel.” Both were interesting and
highly appreciated by the students and those so fortunate as to hear
them.
Misses Fox and Butler, Traveling Secretaries of the Y. W. C. A., vis
ited the school recently and addressed the students in the chapel. Mr.
Chapin, of the Department of Agriculture, was present at the same time
and announced the canning club contest for the girls and a corn grow
ing contest for the boys.
At our general assembly exercises not long ago the student body and
faculty had the good fortune to hear the able address given by Rev. F.
G. Henke of Willamette University on the subject, “ If I Were a
Boy Again.” The address was interesting and instructive and made a
lasting impression on all who heard it- Many of the students have ex
pressed themselves in this way, “ Mr. Henke’s address did me a world
of good.”
Mr. Harry L. Fickle, who has taught in this school for several years,
has recently been transferred to the Postoffice Department in Portland,
which comes as a promotion with an increase of salary. We regret
very much to loose Mr. Fickle from our corps of workers. He is a
concientious, faithful employee, courteous and obliging and always
ready to give a helping hand. The Postoffice Department is fortunate
in securing the services of such a man. Mrs. Fickle and little Susan
will remain at Chemawa for an indefinite period.
