Unusually good and well attended chapel services
were held Sunday evening. 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.

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.
After the program the different societies gavesorigs
and yells, each society endeavoring to outdo the other.
The following was the program:
