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.
