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,
