PAGE 2 THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Published Weekly at the Salem Indian Training School Chemawa, Oregon, HARWOOD HALL, Superintendent Address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager Entered at the Chemawa, Oregon, Postoffice as Second- Class Mail Matter SUBSCRIPTION - - 25Cts PER ANNUM FITTINGLY OBSERVED On the evening of February 28th it became very apparent that something of unusual importance was in the air. First, shortly after supper the band ap peared in front of the Superintendent’s residènce and serenaded Supt. and Mrs. Hall. The occasion was the anniversary of the wedding of this popular couple and both of them made a short talk to the band boys at the close of their selections. The Ukulele Club followed suit of the band and gave a charming string number, to the pleasure of all. Practically every person on the grounds was pleased to participate in the pleasures afforded by the “ open house” at “ The Residence” that evening, with Supt. and Mrs. Hall as host and hostess, in which duties they were assisted by their daughter, Mrs. Jaquins. Conversation, games, music—and a charming number by the Girls’ Octette—passed an evening all too swiftly and before the writer was aware of the hour delicious refreshments were served and it was time to depart. Supt. and Mrs. Hall were married twenty-five years ago while at the Wyandotte Indian School Quapaw Agency, IndianTy., and we had all been pleased to help in the observation of their “ Silver Wedding.” At the time of departure there was a world of good wishes offered Mr. and Mrs. Hall by the guests of the evening, and the wish of all was that host and hostess attain their Golden Wedding—and we all be in attend ance. It was a memorable evening. LOCALS Monday was probably the most disagreeable day experienced this winter. It rained, hailed and snowed. A cold, raw wind added to the unpleasantness. Mr. and Mrs. Hall appreciate the thoughtfulness of the Girls’ Octette in serenading them on their anniver sary. They also wish to thank the Hawaiian Club. Sthepen Shoji, who has filled the position of cook at the Teachers’ Club for the past eight months, left Monday for Portland. He was forced to give up his position on account of rheumatism. Chaperones for girls walking next Sunday, March 10, are Mr. Brace and Mrs. Fratis for Winona Hall girls and Mr. Roberson and Miss Sarah Brewer for McBride Hall girls. Rachel Gould, Mae Adams and Elizabeth Reinville aie assisting in the Teachers’ Club this week, substi tuting until a regular cook can be employed. This will be the latter end of this week. The Red Cross Auxiliary will meet every Tuesday evening at Mrs. Hall’s unless notified to the contrary. At the meeting last week many new knitters joined the ranks and much good work was planned. East Wednesday evening a bunch of wild basket shooters were rounded up and hustled to the Salem High School gym, where they played a preliminary game against the high school second team. The speedy five was composed of Joe Bettles and “ Bub- bles” Downie, forwards; “ Longman” Shepard, center; “ Spud” Liphart and “ Wood” Towner, guards. This speedy five played fast and snappy and with the class of a college team took the high school boys into camp by a score of 25 to 14. This being a “ lean” year financially the school has been compelled to unload from cars and haul to the coal shed many thousand tons of coal. This has made it necessary to use teams which were required for farm work, besides taking a large force of boys from departments to do the shoveling. Arrangements were made however this week for the hauling to be done by outside parties, which will release the teams and permit the agricultural work to be pushed, much to the satisfaction of all concerned. The bakery is always a busy place, making at this time about 600 loaves daily, besides 1200 good sized cookies twice a week, also 1200 hot rolls once a week, 600 snails or cinnamon rolls once a week, large quantities of gingerbread twice a week, besides 100 meat pies, baking powder biscuit and pies three times a week—all for the student body. There are no loafers on this detail. Mrs. Teabo is a hustler herself and inspires her apprentices with the same spirit. Baseball season has pushed itself in to the limelight once more and the balls and mitts are much in evidence about Chemawa. The prospects for a good team are brighter now than they have been for some time. Towner, who stopped the ball behind the plate last season, is waiting to don a suit. Bettles, our mainstay pitcher of last year, can be seen daily warming up. Downie, Nuckolls, Gartiez, Berry and Chamberlin are all last year’s letter men and with the help of these veterans Chemawa should turn out a good strong team. The manager is still looking for a spring training camp and is thinking strongly of California. Has anybody any suggestions?
