1 2A T H E CHEM AW A AMERICAN LOCAL Miss Agnes Swanson is sudstituting as teacher for a few weeks. Dr. and Mrs. Sites, Mr. and Mrs. Aldrich of Salem were visitors to our regular student social on Saturday night last. Nick Hatch, who is a prominent member of the Benson ’Tec at Portland, is on the editorial staff of the school paper. Word has reached us to the effect that Stanley S ut ton and Mary Young, both former students at Cliema- wa, were recently married at Juneau, Alaska. They are to make Juneau their home as they like that city and stand well with the people of that community. The American wishes them all the good luck and happiness possible which may fall to the lot of worthy people. n Preliminary to the main event a game between our Juniors and a Mitchell Hall team resulted in a victory for the latter, the score being 17 to 13. A good game. Our basketball Reserves went down to defeat on Tuesday eveniag- at the hands of the OAC Freshmen team. It was really some game—more of a fight than the score indicates. To shorten a long tale, we lost to the tune of 42 to 20. The game was fair on both sides and we were a!l pleased in every way excepting with the tune of the score. A little discord there! V. M. 0. A.

All these sub- topics were discussed in an interesting way by the members. The attendance nearly reached the 100 percent mark. It is always a pleasure for us to learn of the progress and prosperity of former students. We have just heard from William W atkins, who attended school here some twelve years ago. and who by industry and perseverance has placed himself in an enviable position. He is now married and has a nice home in Chicago, Illinois. He is a tool maker and for the past three years has held a good job with the International H ar vester Co. Good for William! A reception given by Mrs. Risser to members of the 1918, 1919 and 1920 classes, in the domestic science parlors last Friday evening was delightful in its informality and enthusiasm.
