PAGE 3 T H E CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL The open session of the Winona Literary Society will be held Friday night. Miss Evelyn Woods has been home for several days at the bedside of her father, who has been quite ill. Anna Peratrovich left for her home in Alaska on Monday in response to a telegram advising her of the serious illness of her mother at Juneau. Miss Ella Brewer of the Yakima Agency is home this week nursing her mother, who has been quite ill, but. we are glad to say is now recovering. Chief Tooslum, ‘‘The Defender.” This is Superin tendent Hall’s title since he was adopted as an honor ary member of the Pacific Coast Indian tribes. Mr. James is stepping around quite proudly and is receiving congratulations on all sides. It is an 8 1-2 pound girl and was born Monday. The mother and daughter are doing well. During the early part of February quite a number of our students were ill with the influenza, but it was in a light form and soon cleared up. There were no serious cases, not comparable to the attack a year and a-half ago. In fact, the few cases we had could be termed the old fashioned la grippe. Since that time a number of the employes and their families have had the^an^e,.a|.l|uei}t. . * __ Paul Wapato, an Indian student at Willamette Uni versity, recently took first place in an oratorical try out at the university and thereby won the right to represent Willamette in the state oratorical contest to be held at Forest Grove on March 12th. “ American ization” was his subject and there remains no doubt but purely scholarly attainments won in this case, which is another incident proving the capacity of the Indian student. During chapel last Sunday evening the orchestra played a movement from a symphony, Marina Nelson sang “ The Tumbledown Shack” by Sanders, Mr. Bent played a cornet solo, and the choir sang the “ Beautiful City” by Gook. Every one of the above numbers was good. In conclusion of the exercises Supt. Hall gave a splendid talk to those assembled on what might be termed “ Backbone.” Every feature of the evening’s program seemed good. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Chemawa girls defeated the fast Silverton High School team on our floor last Saturday night. It proved a hard game throughout and ended in Che- mawa’s favor, 12 to 9. A large crowd of rooters from Silverton was in attendance and cheered their team. It was a good exhibition and the best team won. Marion Wasson and Rose O’Brien, forwards; Eleanor Hauk and Maud Potts, centers; Rose Goff and Effie Davis, guards, represented Chemawa. Four games were played and Chemawa girls won three of them. ANOTHER A N N IV E R SA R Y Just a year ago it was our pleasure to mention the passing of the marriage anniversary of Supt. and Mrs. Hall, the date being February 28th. This has come to be a date memorable in the minds of all Chemawa and the observance to which we look forward to with pleasureable emotions... Directly after supper the entire student body, head ed by the band, repaired to the residence of this be loved couple and after á number of selections by the band the president of thè student body, Arthur John son, presented a large bouquet of red and white car nations to Mrs. Hall as a token of the esteem of the students. Both Supt. and Mrs. Hall made acknowl edgement of the tribute and voiced their appreciation of the sentiment Of the students in the most touching manner. The scene was one to gladden the hearts of all. On returning home after the basketball game later in the evening when Supt. Hall switched on the lights in their dwelling both he and his wife had the surprise of their lives—nearly all the employes weré sitting in their spacious parlor. A merry hour or two were passed during which delightful refreshments were served and at the fitting moment Mr. Downie, in a little speech of delightful vein, presented to bride and groom of former years an electric coffee urn on a beautiful tray. Both o? the recipients of thè gift voiced their thanks and the great pleasure which was theirs to be so remembered on a date of so much happiness. With many expressions of good wishes for the hap piness and welfare of this estimable pair, and the hope that they be permitted to live for innumerable “ re turns of the occasion,” the guests said “ good night” to host and hostess. Truly, there are times when all are happy! DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES The girls of the Domestic Science are very proud of the new caps and aprons they bave received. Rose Goff is a good cook and proved herself capable of getting a meal while on the cooking detail last week. The Senior girls of the Domestic Science had the advantage of learning how to make fancy shield designed cookies and pastry in hatchet form. A surprise party was given Sunday afternoon cele brating Reginald Downie’s birthday. A dainty lunch was prepared and served by Geitrude Todd, Julia Fratis, Rose O ’Brien and Henrietta and Marguerite Chamberlin. Invited guests were Reginald Downie, Russell Adams, Robert Service, Irving Shepard and Louis Colby. With the kind help of Mrs. Brickell the party was a success.
