RELIGIOUS NOTES
The warm spring sunshine again called the Y.W.C.
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.

bers of the class of 1920:

SOPHOMORE PARTY
The wide-awake second year vocational class gave
their annual party last Saturday evening which proved
a great success from every angle. 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.
