T h e room w as transform ed by th e b rig h t blue an d red of th e class colors and the m any brig h t p en n an ts. T h ere were cozy corners and gam e corners and a goodly stretch of finely w axed floor. Beebe’s orchestra occupied a raised platform and played real old-tim e m usic. T h e follow ing sh o rt program came first: W elcom e, A lbert H ayes, p resi dent; M usic, C ornet D uet, Conw ay B rothers; R eci tatio n , “ O ur H ired G ir l,” T h elm a O rseti; M usic, M ynuk and Beebe; Class, Song of ’21. T he class president th en announced an additional program of pleasure from a large blackboard w here there was w ritten in red and blue twelve events. N u m b er 12 was the refresh m en t m arch. All found supp er p artn e rs and fell in line. As the orchestra played a lively m arch the line passed a Jong table w here a lunch of sandw iches, coffee, cake and ice cream , was served in cafeteria style. W hen lu n ch was over th ere was a request for a re p etitio n of the class song and again the Seventh G rade sang, “ H ail to T hee, Chem aw a, T w e n ty -O n e .” T h is was followed by the “ W altz of 1921,” w hich sounded stran g ely like “ H om e Sw eet H o m e .” T h e d ep artin g guests com plim ented th e president, A lbert H ayes, th e chairm an of the refresh m en t com m ittee, N ellie F ran cis, and th e en tire class on th e ir very successful evening. T h e m ost noticeable feature of th e p arty was th e way in w hich the m em bers of th e class m ade sure th a t each guest was well cared for th ro u g h o u t th e evening. T h is class courtesy was com m ented upon by several of th e guests. It is said th a t the p reparatio n and execution of th e w hole affair was alm ost entirely accom plished by the pupils them selves. T h a t looks like th e y were real izing th eir m otto— “ P ersev eran ce.” T h e stu d e n ts of th is grade in th eir th o u g h tfu l courtesies to all guests show th e good train in g given bv th e ir genial, capable teacher, M rs. A. B. Risser. C H E M A W A 2 8 —MT. A N G E L COLLEGE 17 A fter several defeats, o u r team w as finally brou g h t dow n off its h ig h -h o rse,’' and is once m ore p laying stellar basketball. T h e 28 to 17 victory over M t. A ngel College on W ednesday proves the team has not been p lay in g up to its stan d ard . T he team w ork and the b ask et sh o o tin g was m ore like it o u g h t to be. N ix and P eratrovich played so th a t it w as alm ost im possible for the visitors to w ork th e ball to the bas k et, w hich accounts for th e ir sm all score; three field goals were m ade by th e visitors. C ham berlin played his usual good gam e and held his m an to one field bas k et. T he line-up was as follows: A dam s and Downie, forw ards; C ham berlin, center; N ix and P eratrovich, g u ard s. R obert Downie replaced R eggie Downie in the early p art of the second half of th e gam e on account of R e g g ie’s in ju ry . LATE D R A F T IN F O R M A T IO N N eglect by any d raft re g istra n t w ho has been g ra n te d deferred classification to rep o rt to his Local B oard w ith in five days any fact th a t m ight change or affect his classification, will be a very serious m atter, indeed, for th a t d raft reg istran t. T h e penalty for such forgetfulness is up to one y ear in jail. And G overnm ent appeal agents and the police have been instructed to w atch very closely the sta tu s of all reg istran ts in deferred classes. As an exam ple, suppose a d raft re g istra n t, who otherw ise w ould be in Class 1, to have been g ranted d eferred classification by reason of his em ploym ent in a sh ip y ard . H is deferred classification holds good only for the tim e he is actually so em ployed. It he q u its w ork in th a t sh ip y ard for any reason w hatsoever, he m ust report th e fact, w ith in five days of his q u ittin g , to th e local board. If he d o esn ’t report it, th e change in his sta tu s is certain to become know n sooner or later. H e will be arrested , prosecuted and probably sent to jail. M aking a false report is p u nishable as severely as n eg lectin g to m ake any rep o rt. T h e rule cited does not apply only to men em ployed in sh ip y ard s. It applies equally to an y d raft reg is tra n t in a deferred classification w hose sta tu s has been changed. M r. John W estley, who has been g ardener and h o rti cu ltu rist at Chem aw a for a good m any years, has sub m itted his resignation, to take effect Ja n u ary 31st, on account of ill health. M r. W estley has been one of C hem aw a’s most faithful em ployes and th e entire school reg rets th at he was com pelled to give up. It w ill be difficult to find a m an to fill his place, capable of raisin g the large quantities of vegetables required as well as atten d in g to the orchards and carin g for the fru it, w hich was done so well bv M r.
