BANQUET OP THE ATHLETIC TEAMS
On Thursday evening, March sixth, the members of
the football and of the boys and girls’ basketball teams,
with their guests, celebrated the clqse of the season.
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

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.
