This was a sad affair! On Sunday, George Lekanoff, of Alaska, returned to school. He was welcomed by his many friends at Chemawa. Chemawa’s prospects for a basketball team are great. Four of last year’s team are present and a winning team may be expected. William Johnson now has complete charge of the barber shop at Brewer Hall. The shop is kept in good condition at all times and good service can be had. Try him! Football will now be a thing of the past until next season. On Friday all football supplies will be turned in to the manager at the gym . Basketball outfits will be handed out soon. Much preparation has been made for the Thanksgiv ing program which will be staged tonight, including all of the grades. Come one and all and enjoy the evening’s program.

The guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Loos, the Misses W hite, Gertrude and Sarah Brewer, Laura Therriault, Retha Carson, Mrs. Teabo, and Messrs. Ivan Ander son, Frank Chamberlin, and Leland Tharp. i LOCAL Many repairs have been made to the large poultry house in which to house the school chickens. A large crowd of boys, under Mr. Freed, have done good work cleaning out the drainage canals through the farm. Mr. Turney and Miss Gertrude Brewer will hear Ysaye, said to be the greatest violinist in the world, in Portland this evening. The high school students are at Chemawa this week on account of there being no school while the city teachers attend institute. Irving Shepard and Elwood Towner, high school students, are devoting this week to tearing down the platform in the old assembly room and arranging the room for the use of the Y . M. C. A. Mr. W estley, gardener, whose vacation period e x pired, is still unable to return to his work by reason of being severely afflicted with rheumatism. He has been a faithful employe. It is hoped at the end of a month’s sick leave he will recover his usual health. Mitchell Hall boys had best bestir themselves or else Brewer Hall boys will out-do them in the care of their rooms. The appearance of Brewer Hall has taken on a much better air. Mrs. Doherty and her boys are working to maintain aspic and span building. Mrs. Brace is wearing more of a smile than usual this week on account of being relieved of the respon sibilities attached to an acting principal’s position. She has done well in handling her own classroom, li brary and principal’s work since school commenced in September. A willing, cheerful worker is always appreciated. I «
