An edu cational reel also was shown. Mrs. Lizzie McCorquodale arrived on Sunday to fill the position of assistant seamstress, having been trans ferred from Pueblo Bonito, New Mexico. Mrs. Doherty gave a delightful dinner party at the teachers club on Sunday noon, honoring Mr. and Mrs. Hall, Miss Skipton and Miss Gertrude Brewer. Mr. and Mrs. Livermore, of Polson, Moutana, arrived at Chemawa on Sunday to visit their two children, Alma and Edward, having driven here in their auto. Work in the vicinity of the school is plentiful now for the pupils and they take advantage of it at spare times, earning pocket money—from the smallest boy to the largest. The present detail of girls in the students’ kitchen prevocational classes were given a picnic supper in the woods at “ Old Chemawa” on Friday evening by Mrs. Brewer. They had a jolly good time and among other festivities crowned Madrona Mann as their May queen. A pageant of great pretension will be staged at Willamette University early in June, during com mencement at this Institution, commemorating the 70th anniversary of its founding and a large number of our Chemawa students have been requested to participate. A very laughable and enjoyable entertainment was given by the Salem churches in our auditorium on Monday night for the purpose of raising funds for the Y. M. C. A. at Chemawa. A large crowd at tended. Miss Eakin is a hustler and whatever she does is well done. Lieutenant R. E. Daly of the Aviation Service is back on his old job again as teacher of Agriculture, having arrived on Wednesday last. Mrs. Daly is detained at Berkeley, California, on account of the illness of her sister, Mrs. J. B. Royce, but will join her husband later. The Domestic Science department is running more than full time this week on account of the seniors giving their final demonstrations. Bertha Grimes entertained six guests on Monday evening at a well- appointed dinner, including the examination commit tee. She did well. The small bungalow structure in the rear of Winona Hall contains about 400 little chicks. Mrs. Brewer and her girls will see to it that they are well cared for and gather the eggs which it is expected will accrue next fall and winter. The present flock of hens, those for the students’ kitchen as well as the domestic science, have been the source of no little profit. RELIANCE BOYS A8 HOSTS The last society party of the year was given by the Reliance on Saturday evening in the gym. About 125 persons were present and a general good time was had by all. The boys took great pains in decorating the large hill with school and society pennants, inter- persed with large branches of greenery and wild flowers. From ihe center garlands of crepe paper were strung to the balcony railings. All of this, with a large U. S. flag at one end, which together with the young people gracing the floor, rendered the gymnasium a thing of beauty. Miss McDowell, director of the society, assisted the boys in making the party such a success, while Mrs. Brewer joined her in the preparation of ample and appetizing refreshments, which consisted of sand wiches, cake, coffee and ice cream. Lemonade was served throughout the evening from a large punch bowl in one corner of the room. A splendid good time was had by everybody and the evening went all too quickly. NICE RECEPTION Miss White, Mrs. Loos and Miss Wooton enter tained about thirty of their friends at a well appointed function on Thursday evening last in theClub parlors. Garlands of apple blossoms were suspended to the four corners of the room from the chandelier, while a large basket of blossoms was hung in the alcove, making a very pretty effect. Masses of dogwood blossoms were banked in the reception hall. A jolly evening was spent in progressive games. Mrs. Henderson was the lucky winner of the first prize, consisting of a gift May basket filled with Cecil Breuner roses. Mr. Henderson secured the consol ation prize, also a May basket. Refreshments were served in the dining room. The guests were seated about the long table which was decorated with a may pole dance given by saucy cupids. Places were marked with hand painted cards decorated with apple blossoms. The white lattice work screens, together with the white jardenier stands, holding white baskets filled with apple blos soms rendeied the whole scene as dainty and artistic as one rarely witnesses. These ladies are being congratulated upon the success of their charming party.
