A. out for a delightful outdoor meeting. Under the leadership of Effie Davis, the girls discussed the topic, ’ Held in Trust for Christ.” Mr. Petzoldt spoke of money as a trust, and the value of tithing. After several weeks of interruptions the L. L. L. chapter of the Y.W.C.A. held an uninterrupted meet ing. The President, Carrie Anderson, presided at the meeting, a feature of which was a lively Bible drill. Miss Judd, one of the advisors, gave a talk on “ Girl hood’s Charm.” Charles Williams, Logan Fann and Jacob Mynuk, were Chemawa delegates to a Y.M.C.A. cabinet con ference in Salem, Saturday and Sunday. Gale See- man, Student Secretary for the Northwest, Mr. Dillon, John Rudd, and several other secretaries of promi nence were the leaders of the conference. A large crowd of young people gathered Sunday evening for the joint meeting of the Y.M. and Y.W. C.A. Annie Miller, president of the Y.W.C.A., presided at the meeting, which was addressed by Rev. Mr. Petzoldt. The splendid singing of the students is always an attractive feature of these meetings. Rev. W. A. Petzoldt, of the Inter-Church World Movement, was a very welcome visitor at Chemawa on Sunday and Monday. Since Mr. Petzoldt’s stay here in January students have eagerly anticipated his return. He gave a short talk before the Sunday School on Sunday morning, in which he explained the four great aims of the Inter-Church Movement. SENIOR NOTES The graduation dresses are to occupy the attention of the ’20 girls in the domestic art division very soon. The sun is shining and the Seniors will very soon be making a trip to the photographer for graduating pictures. Reports say our “ Mary D” (Ware) is one of the best sewers in the domestic art class. We seniors are proud of her. The seniors hear that “ Jada” (GusGartiez) is much interested in anatomy since he visited the morgue with the ballteam last Saturday when they played a medical school. Agnes Stewart, who was a member of the Class of ’20 last year, is now Mrs. C. C. Cook and is at home at Kodiak, Alaska. We wish Agnes happiness and success. A moth and a beautiful butterfly came to the senior collection in the laboratory last week. They burst from their dingy cocoons which had been in the can since fall. Since the class has been sitting together in the din ing room there have been spring flowers decorating the table almost constantly. We have enjoyed them and we all thank Miss Skipton. The switch strike put out our lights and shut off the heat for a few days, but we seniors knew we could not lose time now when finals are so near, so we gathered about the few lamps and stoves and managed to keep our work going. In awarding honor standings this year it has been necessary to count each point very carefully as several pupils are close contestants. All outside student activities of a literary nature have been given one and one-half or one point each and added to the general average. This plan gives recognition to literary and musical activities which corresponds, in a measure, to that given by the “ C” to athletic activities. The following places have been earned by the mem bers of the class of 1920: Total 1. Hattie Martin, Valedictorian, classroom av’age 87 Outside activities_________________________ 8 1-2 2.

A program was well rendered, the evening pleasures were splendidly plan ned and nicely carried out, while the decorations were tasty and gorgeous. Delicious and bountiful refresh ments were served. All in all this class proved that the members know how to do things and not only had a good time themselves, but delightfully entertained a goodly crow’d of guests. The domestic science de partment did the catering for the party.
