Every number given was well rendered. Rose Deschamp gave her second solo before a Chemawa audience and her sweet, clear voice charmed us all. The’following was the program: “ A Bowl of Roses” (Clark), Rose DeSchamp; “ My Native Hills” (Ripley), Orchestra; Reading, “ Our Flag and Its History,” Roy Frazier; “ Cast Thy Bread on the Waters” (Roeckel), Choir; Reading, “ Our Hired G irl,” Thelma Orseu. Superintendent Hall gave a good strong talk. He complimented every one who participated in the Washington-Lincoln Birthday, entertainment, using this success as a stimulus as well as an example of what can be accomplished by earnest and faithful effort. E M P L O Y E S ’ SO C IA L W A S H IN G T O N -L IN C O L N E N T E R T A IN M E N T The entertainment given in the school auditorium last Friday night was more finished and of a higher order than is often given in a school entertainment. The solos, choruses, octette, and quartette, were ex ceptionally well rendered, while the orations were fine. The mandolin and guitar club of girls charmed the audience, while the band showed a remarkable prog ress. The reading of the Winona “ War Whoop,” edited by the Winona Society, was an exceedingly amusing and very clever number and was read so clearly that not a word was lost. A feature of this number was moving pictures of well-known Chemawaites, affording much merriment. Such characters as Superintendent Hall and Reggie Downie in characteristic conversation; Mrs. Perkins addressing the McBride Hall girls; Mr. Devol review ing the school line; Miss Skipton directing the girls in the dining-room; as well as each of the different society presidents and their advisors were shown. The “ Historical Patriotic Party” was spectacular as well as educational. The well-known historical characters were excellently portrayed. The dainty fairies with their dancing and songs added much to a well-rendered number. The closing act in the form of a tableaux was a fitting culmination to a splendid evening’s entertainment.
