ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY
In our last issue space was devoted to a w rite -u p of
th e 37tli an n iv ersary of th is great in stitu tio n — the Che-
m aw a In d ian School. T h ere was every evidence of e n
th u sia stic in terest on the p art of pupils and em ployes.
T h e date of the school an n iv ersary was F eb ru ary 25th
— on the 28th of F eb ru ary there wlls celebrated at Che-
m aw a an o th er an n iv ersary . T h e form er was sanctioned
and aided in every way by S u p t. H all— the second a n
niversary observation, th a t of the 28th, was a bona fide
event before he realized w hat was g o in g on. T h e oc
casion w as th e 24th an n iv ersary of the w edded life of
S upt. and M rs. H arw ood H all. W hile we defer to our
S u p erin ten d en t and his good wife in nearly ev ery th in g ,
on this occasion n eith er of them w ere consulted, nor
are they in the w ritin g of th is article.
Ju st after supper th e boys of th e school, headed by
th e band, m arched in a body to “ T h e C o ttag e,” w here
th e girls joined them . School yells and ’rails were
given in honor of S u p t. and M rs. H all, who shortly
after made th eir appearance and w ere presented w ith
a large an d beautiful boquet of w hite carnations, ta ste
fully arran g ed an d tied w ith red chiffon—th e offering
being th a t of the boys. D u rin g th e call of th e stu d e n t
body the band played th ree selections, and both S u p t.
and M rs. H all voiced th e ir appreciation, and made
know n how feelingly they had been touched by an
event w hich would never be forgotten.
A t eig h t o ’clock in the evening th e em ployes of the
school called in a body at the hom e of S u p t. and Mrs.
H all to ex ten d to them all good w ishes and co n g rat
u latio n s. T h is, too, proved a m ost happy occasion.
C onversation, gam es, m usic by the strin g q u a rte t, to
geth er w ith delicious refreshm ents, made all too fleet
th e passing of a couple of h o u rs. T h is second a n n i
versary observation gave pleasure to em ployes and
stu d e n ts in l a n e m easure, and we are certain th a t
M r. and Mrs. H all appreciated it all to th e fullest
and that henceforth, so long as th ey shall live in Che-
mawa, they will feel that th eir abode is am ong friends.
