The regular student body social in the gym on Sat urday night was especially enjoyed by all. Doctor Fulkerson, agency physician at Warm Springs, is visiting with his wife and little son at Chemawa. Mr. F. R. Pendergrass arrived at Chemawa on Mon day from Montana. Mr. Mitchell, who left a week ago for Montana, returned with him. The Junior class was busy writing a composition last week on “ Preparing to Entertain the Seniors.” This was a good topic for them and they surely succeeded in their entertainm ent. Mr. Freed, who has been employed at Chemawa for some months in connection with the steam system, ceased work on Sunday last. He will accept a position in the paper mills at Oregon City. A rthur Johnson made a splendid collection of ferns, fir boughs and Oregon Grape from the woods on W ed nesday, which greenery Miss Skipton used to decorate the dining hall for the football banquet. Plenty of good hard basketball games may be ex pected from the girls this winter to judge from the showing they are making at their regular practice each day. It is probable that thev may form a basketball league among themselves. The vocal quartet composed of Irving Shepard, Russell Adams, Frank Peratrovich and Clyde Fields, rendered a special number at Sunday night services. The number was entitled “ Keep the Home Fires B urning.” We hope the quartet will favor us often. Mr. Daly, teacher of agriculture, who made applica tion for an officer’s commission in the Balloon Branch of the Aviation Corps, was called to Seattle for exam ination on Sunday. Mrs. Daly accompanied her hus band as far as American Lake in order to spend a day with her brother who is stationed there and who ex pects to leave for “ somewhere in France” soon. Chemawa students are receiving not a few excellent talks and lectures this year on part of ministers and other speakers from Salem. None have been more enjoyed than the lecture given on Sunday evening by Rev. Robert S. Gill, on the subject “ W hy We are at W a r.” He handled his subject splendidly and held the audieuce spellbound. The only regret was that the time was all too short, as he was compelled to rush back to Salem to meet another engagement later on in the evening. We hope he will visit us often. Mr. E. A. Smith, disciplinarian, and his wife, Mrs. Lucy N. Sm ith, chief clerk, have received notice of their transfer to like positions at the Cushman school at Tacoma, W ashington. Both of these employes are landm arks at Chemawa and will be missed in the various activities of the school. Mr. Sm ith’s aged parents reside near Tacoma aud this change will bring him in closer touch, which he feels necessary as his father has been in poor health for some time. Mrs. Smith will be greatly missed as the head of the office force. She is an untiring worker and altogether a splendid woman and accountant of rare ability. Our best wishes go with them and their little family.
