PAGE 2 THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Published Weekly at the Salem Indian Training School Chemawa, Oregon, HARWOOD HALL, Superintendent Address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager Entered at the Chemawa, Oregon, Postoffice as Second- Class Mail Matter SUBSCRIPTION - - 25Cts PER ANNUM REPORTER'S NOTES George Barrett Belvie Dillstroni broke his arm accidentally in a game of outdoor basketball. The tailors are busy making the graduation suits for the boys of the senior class. Many of our employes are helping solve the H C L,- by planting their own gardens. The hospital is being conducted in a very orderly manner by the head nurse, Miss Catherine Reed. Work is progressing very fast on the new adminis tration building and we hope to see it finished ere long. Alaska is well represented in the B division of the harness shop. Of the five boys in this division all are from Alaska. The small boys of Company D have been issued their new uniforms, and we expect them out in all their glory next Sunday. Did you notice how neat our boys are looking of late? Louis Colby and Emil Freeman are responsible for this—they are now the regular barbers. From present indications we will have a fine crop of clover and oats this year. The warm weather we have had of late has wrought wonders with these crops. Many of our Alaskan students are getting the fever to be back again at their home for the spring fishing. Cheer up, fellows, it will be only a matter of a few weeks when your dreams are realized. The track men are training faithfully for the dual track meet that takes place here Saturday afternoon with McMinnville College. You can bet our boys will make a good showing. A letter from Charles Eder states that he has been quite busy getting in the spring crops for his mother on their farm up in Montana. He hopes to be back by the first of September to finish his course at the Capital Business College. Not to be outdone by Mitchell Hall in publishing their Missing Link,” the boys of Brewer Hall are now putting out a daily paper called the “ T ruth.” We have nothing to say as to whether its name is appropriate, but nevertheless it is a cleverly edited paper and causes much mirth. SENIOR NOTES No program at class period, but much business. Elizabeth Montgomery has been nurse-in-charge part of the time since Mrs. Codding left. The Domestic Science girls are planning their in dividual demonstration to be given soon. Marina Nelson is again in school after a little hospital demonstration,” and the class is complete. General average for daily grades for the year was the subject for consideration on Friday. Some seniors have nice comfortable averages, while a few are on the anxious seat until the final examinations are over. Cramming for exams; preparing for demonstrations; thinking of graduating clothes; drilling for competi tive drill; completing notebooks; capturing and class ifying ten “ bugs” (specimens at five percent each); completing “ annual” material; band, choir, octette, mandolin club, gym, and athletic practicing, contest, graduation, program and operetta rehearsing, perform ing social duties, keeping quarters ship-shape for in spection, dodging demerits, these are some of the senior activities. “ Activity” seems to lie the right name. BAND CONCERT Next Sunday afternoon, from 4:00 to 4:45, Mr. Loos and his band boys will play a concert, at which time the following program will be rendered: 1 2 3 4 5 March—U. S.

About forty-five in all comprised the crowd. The school truck and a couple of autos carried the merry party to and fro. A most delightful aftrnoon and evening was spent. This pic nic is an annual affair and is looked forward to with much pleasure. Last Wednesday evening the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet held their business meeting out of doors around a bonfire. Following the meeting the chief amusement was roasting wieners.
