About one hundred merry-makers assembled in the gymnasium and spent a happy social hour before pass ing to the banquet which was spread in the students’ dining hall. The big i oom had been freshly decorated with grace ful draperies of fir chains, groups of large palms, swinging baskets of moss and ferns, and great clusters of big red and white roses. Over all floated the stars and stripes. As soon as the guests had found their places at the two great tables in thecenter of the room, all sang “ Here’s to Our Dear Red and W hite,” then they were seated. Immediately the trimmest of wait resses in the tiniest of aprons and stiffest of caps began the serving of the dinner. The cleverly folded place cards when opened revealed thé following menu: Cream Tomato Soup Salted Crackers Roast Leg of Veal Dressing Gravy Combination Salad Corn Mashed Potatoes Preserves Minced Relish Parkerhouse Rolls Cake Fruit Candy Coffee Jelly Pickles Ice Cream The food was So well prepared, and so bountiful, and the service was so perfect that the room became busily quiet and then was heard the music of the girls’ mandolin club orchestra. They played all during the evening and again arid again were their cheery num bers applauded. When the coffee was served Mr. Hobucket, acting president of the Athletic Association, called in turn upon Arthur Johnson, William Kennedy, and Roy Nuckolls, and each of the boys responded with a brief helpful talk on some phase of athletics at Chemawa. Coach Hauser was next and was followed by Superin tendent Hall who spoke very highly of Chemawa’s long clean record in strictly amateur athletics. Mr. Hobucket, speaking for “ The Team,” then opened a little surprise by presenting to Mr. Hall a most tastefully framed photograph of “ The Boys.” Mr. Hall responded with his thanks and cheers were given for both Mr. and Mrs. Hall. Then Miss Skip- ton and Mrs. Brewer, who had so ably superintended the preparation of the banquet, were called forward and show ered with cheers. The happy evening was ended by hundreds of merry “ goodnights” as all hurried home. REPORTER’S NOTES By Allan Shepard Mrs. Steusloff of Salem was the guest of Miss Skip- ton during the week. A part of the large washer at the laundry was sent to Salem for repairs recently. East Friday Julia and Marie Stevens left for their home in Dodson, Montana. The baker yeports that all of his bakers are very sat isfactory—especially Roy Haniff. After school hours Nick Hatch, one of our former pupils, drivés an auto for à family in Portland. Perry Wnipple, one of the Chemawa hoys who en listed in the war, has returned from France. He came back with the 69th division. The students’ dining-hall is supplied with new knives, forks and spoons and good care is being given same by Miss Skipton and her detail. Louis Towner has returned with a company of sol diers from “ over seas.” He attended school at Che mawa at one time. Siletz is his home. George Lekanoff has just completed a fine window for Mr. Welch’s house. He made every part of it himself and it certainly is a credit to him. Some of the piping just north of the mess building burst not long ago and much work was neceassary on the part of the plumbers before it was repaired. Mr. Hobucket and his boys went to the woods for evergreens for dining-hall decorations in connection with the athletic banquet given last week. It was quite a job. As an evidence that the girls of Winona Hall are still on guard against the “ flu” we cite the fact that they consume a goodly quantity of onions every day. There’s nothing like being on the safe side, girls’ Miss Skipton is in receipt of a letter from James Sloan, a former pupil who now resides at Fort Washakie, Wy. His wife died during the “ flu” epidemic and left him with six motherless children.
