TH E CHEMAWA AMERICAN N O N P A R E IL S E N T E R T A IN The last society party of the year was given by the Nonpareils on Saturday evening in the gymnasium, and, like all the other functions of this nature, was thoroughly enjoyed by the many participants. There were several unique and original features cleverly car ried out by the young lady members of the society. Invitations were dainty and in the form of a question mark; decorations consisted of butterfly bows made in Nonpareil colors and held by clothes pins and suspend ed on threads from a center grouping to all parts of the gym, which gave a very pleasing effect. Violets and butterflies were the refreshment motif; place cards were butterflies and wild violets as boutonniere and cor sage boquets. The refreshments were very dainty and well served. Mae Adams, as president with the loyal assistance of other members, was responsible for the success of the party. P U P IL S ’ ITEM S The dress parade on Friday morning was unusually good. The small sewing-room girls scarfs last week. made 550 bureau Bernard Sanderson is rapidly improving and we hope to see him out soon. The second-year domestic science girls are enjoying products from their garden. Clarence Michael, ex-student, spent the week-end with his classmates at Chemawa. The gardeners are through planting potatoes and are expecting a large crop this fall. Violet Norwest of the class of ’16 writes that she will be with us during Alumni week. George Jackson writes that he is at San Diego, Cal ifornia, and from there he goes to the Panama Canal. The third-year pupils are very busy reviewing physics two days a week—Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fred Karluk, Paul Smartlowit and John Gibson left on Saturday for the sanatorium at Ft. Lapwai, Idaho. Charles Stone has succeded Paul Nannauck in the engineering department. Paul is called to Alaska to aid his parents. Frank Chamberlin, Frank Peratrovich, Albert Gray and Ernest Webster took dinner with Miss Roberts at the Mess on May 27th. The second band led the dress parade last Friday, as the first band has broken up, caused by so many entering the army and navy. For the past week Mr. Hammond has been going through the engineering department grading the work and drawings of the engineers. PAGE 3 Joseph Gale, ex-student, is in the aviation training camp at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, holding the posi tion of corporal and assistant drill master. Allan Shepard has written the names on the certifi cates for the “ letterm en.” The work is unusually fine and he deserves much credit for his artistic letter ing. The people are so pleased with horse meat in Port- and that they ordered 1500 pounds more last week. At a certain butcher shop on Third street one can see, at any time, horse meat hanging ready for sale. The trays prepared by the prevocational nurse girls showed skill in the preparation and knowledge of di etetics. The food looked so tempting it made some of the visitors wish they were ill enough to be per mitted to eat it. LOCALS Over forty Chemawa men have joined the army and navy, and the end is not yet. The demand for farm labor is great and on Saturday all the boys who can be spared are out on neighboring ranches. Mr. and Mrs. Smith gave a party on Monday even ing in honor of their son Warren’s 14th birthday. A jolly crowd of friends gathered in to celebrate the oc casion and to wish the young man many happy returns. Representatives from the Salem Grand Army Post and Woman’s Relief Corp made their annual visit to Chemawa on Friday last and addressed the student body. After the meeting in the auditorium a regi mental parade on part of students was given. The guests were then escorted to the Superintendent’s cot tage where hot coffee and other delicacies were served. The Sigma Phi girls had a “ weinie” bake in the woods at “ old Chemawa” on Tuesday evening. The girls dressed in their gym suits and went prepared to have a good time and they had it. A camp fire was built on which they boiled coffee and toasted the wei- nies. During the supper they sang songs, told stories and ‘ ‘cut-up’ ’ generally. The girls were chaperoned by Mrs. Hall. The domonstration in practical dietetics given on Thursday at the hospital by the prevocational nurses under Mrs. Fulkerson in the shape of appetizing dishes for the sick was well done. Different ways of making beef tea, soft diets, albumen for liquid diet, egg nog, poached eggs on toast, besides three daintily prepared trays, one each for breakfast, dinner and supper, were shown. The guests were served chocolate with whipped cream and small cakes. The tables pre sented a splendid appearance with the snowy linen and white heliotrope.
