Superintendent Hall spent a few days at the Cush­
man school last week on business.
Mr. H enry Turner, who has been acting as assist­
ant farmer, quit his job on Saturday last.
The whitewashing gang have performed a good job
in adding to the general appearance of the fences.
The new office building is rapidly nearing com­
pletion. Next on hand will be the library and dairy
barn.
This is demonstration week and all industrial de­
partm ents are hustling around in order to give one of
the best ever.
All the leading lady characters in the “ Yokahoma
M aid” given by the W illamette University last Satur­
day night wore kimonos loaned by Chemawa people.
Mr. Herbert Hoover, a national character today,
made his boyhood home with his uncle, Dr. Min-
thorne, who was superintendent at Chemawa in its
earlier days.
Miss K atherine Earlougher, senior teacher at the
Cushman school, has been transferred to Chemawa.
Miss Earlougher is a cultured and capable lady. We
will be glad to receive her.
Four of our musicians took part in the production
of the musical operetta at the opera house in Salem
last Suturday night: Mr. Turney, first violin: Mr.
Loos, basso; George Barrett, ’cello, and Cruz Mc­
Daniels, trombone.
Mary Motanic writes from Pendleton that she is in
a hospital taking treatm ent, but expects to be able to
retu rn for commemcement. Her health is not quite
up to par and she left Chemawa to go home and re­
cuperate. Mary is a splendid girl.
Rose O ’Brien, senior in Salem High, is now taking
her practice work in shorthand and typewriting in
the county attorney’s office. She spends from one to
five every afternoon in the practice work. Rose has
assisted Professor Nelson, principal, in his office work
this year and he speaks very highly of her and her
work.
Last Saturday evening was the date given to the
Athletic Association for its social and sale for the
benefit of the athletic fund. The drive for the fund
was made in order to have funds enough to carry out
the schedule. All week the boys, both large and
small, were out during the hours they were not on
duty weeding onions or planting m int so as to have
funds to contribute to the fund between the social
gam es—coffee, sandwiches, ice cream, popcorn and
orange-ade were sold. We wish to thank the student
body and others that helped to put the fund “ over the
top” for $173:65

Commencment will take place this vear from May
30th to June 5th.
The Y. M. C. A. held their regular meeting Sun­
day afternoon with Logan Fann as leader. The topic •
for discussion was “ Cleanliness.”
Mr. Donner, Supervisor of Construction, spent part
of last week looking over our steam heating system
with a view to recommending improvements and to use
the $15,000 appropriated.
From the looks of affairs it seems to The American
man that ere long a new library building will be in
course of construction at Chemawa. It will be located
just south of the academic building and it is to be
modern in every way, as buildings for libraries go.
It will be a much-appreciated feature at Chemawa,
as we have a host of book lovers here who revel in our
library.
Some young robins are already in evidence in their
nest on the campus. This looks as though summer
was here, especially when coupled with other facts,
such as sunshine, green onions and rhubarb, which
are with us once more. When the sun shines and
the birds sing it sort of puts a fellow in tune with the
world. Chemawa is a great place in more ways than
one. Note that aside from other things that we raise
our own robins—no imported articles for us!
CHEMAWA DEFEATS PRISON TEAM IN
SECOND GAME
Our baseball team won its fourth game this season
when it defeated the State Prison Team 5 to 4 in
Salem last Saturday. Two good pitchers stood on
the mound for their teams in this game, but neverthe-
less they were found for several good hits, as the
scorer has credited Chemawa with two home-runs,
one three-bagger, two doubles and four singles, while
the “ P en” team got three doubles and a single. The
State “ P en” is quite like any other team in the re ­
spect that it can make changes for the better, as they
worked a pitcher and catcher who proved a tower of
strength to their team.
“ Jada” Gartiez got two hits in this game. One
over the left fielder’s head for a home-run and the
other behind the ear for a free walk to first. Downie
came through in the sixth inning with the second
home-run, scoring Berry from second.
Bettles pitched his usual good game, striking out
ten men and allowing but four hits. The Prison
pitcher struck out eight and was found for nine hits.
Score by innings:
Chemawa—1 0 0 1 2 1 0 0 0
O. S. P .—0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 1
