On S atu rd ay evening, Ja n u a ry 26th, the F irst Y ear
V ocationals gave a very enjoyable p arty to a num b er
of th eir f-iends. 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.

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 .

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. W estlev.
