24 THE CHEM AW A AM ERICAN formation which we so much desire for our people can be brought about only tlnough the influence of Christianity.—Paper Read April 26 at the State Girl’s Conference, Albany, Oregon, by Christine Boswell, Representative of Chemawa Y. W. C. A. Two of the Y. W. C. A. girls, Christine Boswell and Sarah Brewer, who attended the State Girls Conference which took place at Albany, on April 25, returned with some very interesting ideas, which concern our association.—Leona John, Reporter. Y . M . C. A . N O T E S On Sunday evening, April 26, the Y. M. C. A. elected the following officers for the next year: President, Nick Orloff; vice-president, John Johanson; secretary, Simeon Fratis; treasurer, Kiutus Jim; reporter, Peter Alpheus. These officers will attend all cabinet meetings for the remainder of this year, and assist in preparing for next year’s work. Regular meet ings of the cabinet are held each Sunday morning. Some of the members of the Y. M. C. A. are meeting every Sunday morning at 7 o’clock for a special service of prayer. These meetings are proving very helpful and all members should attend. The Tuesday evening Bible classes were suspended on April 7. For the interest and success of the classes during the year great credit is due the teachers who have come each week from Willamette Univer sity, Miss Chappel, Miss Goltra, Miss Lewis, Miss Lent, Mr. Eric Bolt, Mr. McMillis, Mr. Rice, and Mr. Russel. Three hundred and ten stu dents have been enrolled in these classes during the year, and the av erage attendance has been more than 250. Mr. R. D. Hall, National Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for Indian Schools and Reservations, spent Tuesday, April 16, at Chemawa, in conference with Mr. Kennedy and members of the Y. M. C. A. At the chapel exercises in the morning, and again in the afternoon, he gave interesting talks, full of helpfulness for the students. In the evening he gave an illustrated talk of the work in different schools. The pictures of the workers and the narrative of their labors and experiences were interesting to all who were present. Mr. Hall’s visits are always appre ciated and it is hoped he can spend more time with us in the fall.
