AM ERICAN
Little Florence \ an lassel is now the proud possessor of a piano.
She says it is not for sale.
Not long ago Mr. Pugh and his assistants laid a new board walk
from the school campus to the Oregon Electric depot. This was an
improvement much needed.
\V e are pleased to note that Supt. Chalcraft has accepted a transfer
from Oklahoma to Oregon and is now in charge at Siletz. This will
be goad news for his friends in this section.
On the evening of June 10th, Mr. G. A. Anderson, one of our neigh
bors, ga\ e a reception to the band boys. This was a courtesy which
every member of the band appreciated to the fullest.
We are running quite a number of programs which were rendered
here during our commencement. We are warranted in the statement
that every feature of our commencement was most creditable to all—
teachers and pupils.
Inmates of the Mess” building enjoyed (genuinely, too) a couple
of strawberry shortcake” evenings during the season. Misses Dolise
and Randolph did the honors and certainly are entitled to the thanks
of all—and they received them, too.
Mr. and Mrs. Henderson made the graduating class very happy just
before commencement by holding a reception in their honor. Every
feature was joyous and certainly was appreciated by all, who voiced
the highest praise for host and hostess.
Mr. C. E. Frye, formerly an employee at Chemawa, paid us a visit
not long ago. Por some time he has been employed in government
work on the Celilo canal, on the upper Columbia river. He was look
ing well and said everything was “ O. K .” with him.
Chemawa has the largest canning club in the world composed wholly
of Indian girls, and our guess is that they are the most enthusiastic lot
of girls in the world, too. Our canning club is an assured feature of
the school. We regret that we have not time and space to go into par
ticulars about the club, as it deserves the same, but we haven’t.
Thursday evening, June 25th, proved memorable to the graduating
class of 1914, for on this date they were tendered a reception at “ The
Cottage” by Supt. and Mrs. Wadsworth. An evening of good fellow
ship and good cheer generally was passed all too quickly v/ith conversa
tion, music, games, viewing pictures and books and discussing the
same, and being introduced to many priceless curios, etc. At the prop
er time delicious refreshments were served. The occasion will long
remain green in the memory of those present, who voted Supt. and
Mrs. Wadsworth perfect as host and hostess. '
