Miss Skipton and her detail have been unusually
busy for several days decorating the students’ dining
hall for Thanksgiving. They have made festoons of
fir and hanging baskets of greenery and wood ferns
for decorative purposes. Following is the menu for
the pupils’ dinner, to be prepared by Mrs. Brewer,
who takes great interest in affairs of this nature, and
her detail:
The nurse girls have recently organized a Bible class
at the hospital. One hour a day is taken from their
spare time for this study. The girls are under the
direction of Catherine Reed, who takes much interest
in the study of the Bible as well as her nurse work.
The gym work at Chemawa is something for the
students and employes to be proud of. The swinging
of clubs and the folk dancing and other athletic activ
ities is far beyond that of previous endeavor. Mr.
Smith is now working hard on a program to be ren
dered during the Christmas vacation.

REPO RTER’S NOTES
By Robert Downie
On Wednesday the training table for the football
boys was broken up. 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.
Mrs. Smith entertained on Monday night with a
delightful party in honor of Mr. Sm ith’s birthday.
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.

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.
