GYMNASTIC EXHIBITION Mr. Smith, physical director, gave a fine exhibition in gymnastics and physical culture on Saturday even ing. A large audience was in attendance, with the galleries and stage crowded. Probably 250 students took part in the exhibition, which was greatly enjoyed by all present.

The Excelsior society had a lively meeting on Wednesday night. Susie Piaz, an ex-pupil, writes that she would like to be at Chemawa again. The seventh grade pupils are now working in com mission and taxes in arithmetic. A noticeable improvement seems to be made each week in the progam rendered by the Winona Society. The Domestic Science classes gladly welcome Miss Taylor back to her work and are pleased to see that she is looking so well. The first year vocational girls have lately finished their work on the boys’ night shirts, and now the first and second year girls are working on uniform middies for the Winona Hall girls. The eighth grade class regret to lose their classmate, Marcella Silvers, from school even if it is for a short time. Marcella and her sister were called home on account of the sickness of a little sister. Mr. Sanders has taken up the duties of assistant engineer, temporarily, due to the resignation of Mr. Lange. The vocational engineers are glad to welcome Mr. Sanders to the engineering department. The sewing room girls are required to make sixty or more white uniform middies and skirts. The suits are for the girls that came late in the season. We are to get them finished before Easter Sunday. ‘ ‘Old Chemawa, ’ ’ a tract of land on which the school was first started, is being devastated of its timber. The sentiment attached to that section makes the pupils re gret to see it changed. However, more cultivated land will be secured. The opening exercises at the afternoon school session on Monday were conducted by the Excelsior society. Each number was creditably rendered. The clarinet solo by Edwin Gilbeau, followed by a vocal solo on part of Russell Adams and a quartette by Alex Melo- vidov, Russell Adams, Reginald Downie and George Jackson delighted the audience. Oscar John’s recita tion and Martin Colby's reading were fine.
