PAGE 3 T H E CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL Our track team went to Eugene yesterday to com pete in a meet at the University of Oregon. Superintendent and Mrs; Hall entertained Mr. and Mrs. Aldrich, of Salem, and Mr. and Mrs. Turney, at dinner on Thursday evening. The first dress parade of the season was given by the Chemawa battalions on Sunday evening. Both girls and boys looked fine in their new uniforms. About 100 of the boys got jobs on Saturday and earned sufficient money to purchase leggins for their new uniforms, which were received and issued last wefek. Mr. and Mrs. Hall, Josephine Corbett and Mabie Blodgett accompanied Eleanor Hauk to the inter-class rivalry contest in the Salem senior high school aud itorium last Thursday evening. A dainty little social feature of the week was the breakfast party given on Tuesday morning by Mrs. Hall honoring Doctor Root. Mrs. Sherman and Miss McDowell were the other guests. Little Virginia Brickelltook part in the dance reci tal, “ The Awakening of Spring,” given in the Salem opera house by pupils of Mrs. Ralph W hitelast Friday evening. A number of our employes attended the recital. Supt. Hall continues giving us his splendid talks during chapel services on Sunday evenings. We are often asked why they do not appear in The American. While glad to address the students, Supt. Hall is not seeking publicity in regard to his talks and is unwill ing to have them published regularly. Now and then he will grant us permission to print them, he promises. There has been appearing at more or less regular intervals on the west wall of Mitchell Hall an illus trated periodical called The Missing Eink. It is written, illustrated, edited and printed (by hand) by a group of the Mitchell Hall boys. It is always in teresting and often original and clever. Incidentally, it is influential and carries no small burden of respon sibility for its effects upon the public opinion of Che mawa citizens. Eleanor Hauk was one of six contestants at the inter-class forensic contest which took place at the Salem High School last Thursday night. She repre sented the Junior class and got second place. She lacked one minute of taking up the required time and as memory work counted 50 percent she lost first place. Eleanor is a splendid speaker and held her audience better and received more applause than any other speaker of the evening. The chapel services last Sunday evening were most interesting in every way. The orchestra played “ The Rosette” by Meissner, Miss Judd sang a sacred song, a septette of girls sang ‘ ‘ In the Gloaming’ ’ as arranged by Parks, the choir sang “ Ashamed of Jesus” by Ex- cell. Supt. Hall, who was in charge of the exercises, made a splendid talk along the lines of life and the way to be happy practically. At the close of his re marks he called on Father Gall, who recited the fact that he had been with us for eight years and had watched the progress of the school^ which he said had been remarkable. He spoke of his keen personal in terest in everything at Chemawa. He gave a good talk and admonished the students to support S u p t/’ Hall in every way in all his efforts, for primarilly h e : was working for their own welfare. He made a nice talk and was well received. JUNIORS ENTERTAIN The last class social of the year was given by the- alert Juniors oh Saturday evening. The gym was. , decorated as if the occasion were a May-day-festiva,l,.i; being resplendent with hanging baskets of flowers, class colors, motto, emblem and pennants. ÍÚ the center was a pole all in place for the May pole dance and crowning of the queen, which together with the movable lattice frames on ei ther end of the big room decorated with flowers and greenery, made the entire setting pretty and comfortable^ The faVofs-were - large bouquets of violets for the ladies and boutonnière;; for the gentlemen. The program was unique and pleasing. Catherine' Loftus was chosen queen of the May bÿ her1 class and little Gregoria Gregoreoff and Jessie Fofsén headed the Queen’s processional as crown bearer and flower girl. The entire class took part in the May pole fes tivities. The evening’s pleasure was enhanced by the efforts of every member of the class acting a’s a host or a hostess being particularly solicitous as; toe the’ comfort and entertainment Of guests. Edwin Liljegrèn, president of the class, acted as master Of ceremonies? Refreshments were served on plates disguised as May baskets and were bountifully as well as daintily^ filled. As usual the domestic science department attended to the serving. It was unanimously voted that the Juniors are mighty good fellows without making any distinction as to sex, BAND CONCERT From 4:0© to 4:45 next Sunday afternoon Mr, Loos and his band boys will play a concert, render ing the following program : March—T h e ’Conciliator . * - - - ^ Cro'apy Operatic Selection - - - - ' Arr. by Laurendeau Bass Solo—Chromatic Polka - - - - - Rose Cruz McDaniel Waltzes—-Bessie - - | .- sSÿS Song and Dance—My Sweet Rileen - - - Matiey Spanish Serenade—ytnita / , - 1 ' ' - ' Allen
