Mr. IyOos has had a lot of work done on the road in front of Mitchell
Hall. A good move!
Recently quite a force of our boys and men has been engaged at the
task of clearing up "Old Chemawa" and giving it the appearance of a
park.
Supt. Wadsworth attended the commencement exercises at Mt Angel
College on June 16th. He spoke enthusiastically of both the exercises
