THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
Siuce our last issue Miss Katie Brewer enjoyed a couple of wee'ks'
visit with relatives in Tacoma, Wash.
The Seniors and Juniors of the school enjoyed their annual party on
the evening of Feb. 16. It proved a most pleasing affair in every way.
Miss Clara Guyette has returned to the school after an absence of
six years. Many old-time Chemawa students will recall her and be
pleased to learn that she is again with us. Her home is at Wapato,
Wash.
In the way of entertainment Supt. Wadsworth continues to provide
moving picture shows and dances for the students, as well as special at
tractions from time to time. The moving picture shows and dances al
ternate on Friday nights; moving pictures one Friday night and danc
ing on the following Friday evening. This makes a fine schedule.
Quite a number of Chemawa people attended the concert of the Port
land Symphony Orchestra in Salem on the afternoon of Sunday, March
7th. From all accounts the concert was an artistic success in every way
and a large and enthusiastic crowd greeted the instrumentalists. Such
concerts are of great value in any community.
On the evening of February 20th Mrs. Berwick, a reader from Port
land, gave our people an elocutionary treat. She was ably assisted by
the band, whose playing was fully up to its high standard, under the
direction cf Mr. Loos. During the evening Alex Melovidov played a
violin solo so well that he was recalled: Miss Brewer played the piano
accompaniments most acceptably. The evening was a memorable one
in every way.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dillstrom visited Chemawa friends a week or so
ago while enroute to Perrydale, in Polk county, where Mr. Dillstrom
will have charge of a large dairy business. For the last two years Mr.
Dillstrom has been in the service at Tulalip, Wash., under Dr. Buchan
an. The proposition from Perrydale was such that he did not feel justi
fied in turning it down. While here they were the guests of Mr. and
Mrs. M. W. Cooper.
The visit of death is always a heart-rendering one and sad to chron
icle. As a result of appendicitis Miss Phylis Cooper succumbed to- the
Dread Reaper on Feb. 14, at the Hospital in Salem. Interment was
made in that city on Feb. 16 and the funeral was attended by numer
ous Chemawa friends. Phylis at the time ot her death was in her fif
teenth year, and the greater part of her life had been lived at Chemawa.
Until a comparatively short time before her fatal illness she had always
appeared strong and vigorous. The sincere sympathy of all our people
are extended to Mr. and Mrs. Cooper and family.
