THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
LOCAL
Two hundred dozen eggs have been set aside by
Mr. Turner for the use of the pupils next Sunday-
Easter day.
The second hatching of little chicks takes place this
week. The new brooder house will be completed and
ready for the new hatch.
A new force of matrons in Winona Hall, consisting
of Miss Southworth, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Richter,
will be in effect next week.
Mr. Paul Greene, stenographer, left for Hemet, Cal­
ifornia, Monday morning, being called to the bedside
of his mother who is very seriously ill.
Mrs. Knowles, who has been acting as matron in
Winona temporarily, leaves us on Saturday. She
gained the good will of all with whom she came in
contact and they regret to see her leave.
Each evening after supper it is fine to see the girls
using the lawns. A baseball ground is being arranged
on the lawn across the railroad track for use of the
girls and a basketball court will also be constructed.
East Sunday Miss Olive C. Skipton entertained
Superintendent and Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Waddell, Mrs.
Brickell and Mr. Rose at a wonderful dinner. Miss
Skipton cannot be excelled as hostess in a function
of this nature.
Addie Merrill very graciously received six guests
whom she entertained last Tuesday evening at a sev­
en-course demonstration dinner at the domestic science.
Addie is a senior and is finishing her home economic
course very creditably to herself and teacher.
The Junior Domestic Science class, under Mrs.
Brickell’s direction, served an elaborate tea Friday
afternoon as part of their demonstration work for the
year, the occasion being in honor of Mrs. Waddell, of
Yakima. About fifteen of the campus ladies were
guests of the afternoon.
A most pleasant and enjoyable party was given on
St. Patrick eve by the young ladies of the Winona
Society. About 150 participants voted it a splendid
occasion. Contests of various kinds, good music
throughout the evening, and a number of special
stunts, were in evidence, and a good time generally
had. The refreshments consisted of ice cream, cake
and coffee, and were daintily served by the girls of
the domestic science department. The Winonas al­
ways do things nicely.
During chapel exercises last Sunday evening Supt.
Hall gave a splendid talk on neatness and personal
appearance, stressing the great importance of both,
and pointing out their bearing on one’s success. It was
a good talk and timely. It being Palm Sunday the
orchestra played “ The Palms” by Faure, Herschel
PAGE 3

Oka Paulina recited “ The Flag Goes By,” the Octet
Girls sang “ Carry Me Back to Ole Virginny” as ar­
ranged by Rider, the choir sang an anthem—“ Praise
to Christ” —by Thomas.
Y. M. A N D Y. W. O. A. NOTES
The little girls of the Junior Y. W. C. A. spent a
very delightful evening playing their favorite games
on Tuesday last. There are about 30 little girls in
the group.
On next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 the Rev. Ward
Willis Long of the First Presbyterian Church in Salem
will conduct the annual Easter Communion service
for the Chemawa Protestant Church. Mr. Eong’s
session will assist in the service. A cordial invitation
is extended to all who wish to attend.
The Chemawa Climbers’ Club are very grateful to
Mr. Downie for the gift of some baseball equipment,
consisting of bats, balls, a protecter and a mask. Mr.
Downie also assisted the Club in the purchase of catch­
er’s and first baseman’s gloves. With this fine lot of
equipment and the keen interest of the members, the
baseball outlook for the Climbers is good.
The Oregon-Idaho Interstate Y. M. C. A. Conven­
tion was held in Portland recently, and Chemawa sent
the two delegates to which we were entitled. Wallace
Morgan represented the senior Y. M. C. A., and John
Eong the Climbers’ Club. Attendance at this conven­
tion was a rare treat, owing to the fact that the chief
speaker on the program was Dr. John R. Mott, world’s
president of the Y. M. C. A., and his addresses were
worth going many miles to hear. This is his first trip
to Portland in 27 years. The Chemawa delegates
made splendid reports of the convention at a joint
meeting of the Y. M. C. A. and the Climbers on Sun­
day evening.
On Wednesday evening of last week the Y. M. C. A.
and Climbers’ Club had as their guest President J. S.
Eanders of Monmouth Normal School. Mr. Edwin
Socolofsky, County “ Y” secretary, accompanied Pres.
Eanders to Chemawa. They were guests of Miss
Eakin for supper and later Pres. Eanders addressed a
large group of boys in the “ Y” room. His talk was
developed around the thought of “ Youth as the Seed
Time of Life.” He drew his analogy from the farm
and garden, and mentioned many kinds of seeds that
must be planted now if the boys would reap a harvest
of strong, manly characters. His talk was unusually
interesting and helpful. President Eanders was much
interested in the school, and expressed his apprecia­
tion of the splendid educational and industrial work
which Chemawa is doing.
