PAGE 4 TH E CHEMAWA AMERICAN SENIOR NOTES SENIOR PLEDGE-SONG Now, as the senior class, Pledge we onr honor To dear old C. I. S., Our old Chemawa. With lifted cup do we Give you this promise true; “ Ever we’ll loyal be School-home to you. ’ ’ Alex (Bevo) Beauvais made a flying trip to Portland last week. The Merchant of Venice is the classic study now. Shylock is getting interesting. Demonstration dinners are the talk of the girls of the class. Each is preparing to give the best dinner. Carrie Anderson, of the senior class, gave an inter esting history of Chemawa at the Wednesday assembly. This last snow started with the Valentine party. The Senior party always starts a snow, but we can’t remember what stops it. Help! Work on herbariums starts at once. Don’t be alarm ed if you see a senior vigorously scratching away the deep snow where the flowers ought to be. In seating the letter-men in the front row of honor with the seniors last week it was noticed that 38 per cent of the senior men were also letter men. A card from Mrs. Mabel Blodgett Ogden bore a Valentine greeting and the wish that she might live over her senior Valentine celebration with her class of ’21. A Chemawa song and yell contest, a declamation contest, home-building-essay contest, an anti-cigaret- essay contest, try-outs for operetta, contests for class honors—these confront us and yet we must keep a-smiling and “ stick.” An employe recently spoke of one of our students as being backward in his work. He was too charitable in this instance, as developments proved. The fellow was—we are ashamed to say it—just plain lazy. He says he is cured of it now. We hope this is true. There is nothing among workmen that is so much despised as a lazy man. He is continually under the feet of those who have some energy, is constantly be moaning his lot, and is the contemptuous butt of every joke and disagreeble situation other workmen can give him.
