The operetta, College Days” will be given on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Rev. Blain E. Kirkpacmck, of Salem, will deliver the baccalaureate sermon on next Sunday night. Another car load of fat hogs were sold to the Valley Packing Company at Salem yesterday. The price received is 8 cents per pound on foot. Supt. E. L. Swartx'ander of Umatilla Agency, Pendleton, Oregon, was a welcome visitor at Chemawa for a few hours last Saturday. We are always pleased to have him pay us a call. As our commencement exercises will be on next week no American will be issued, but the following week we will attempt to give yon a faithful account of our many and varied exercises and activities. Governor Walter M. Pierce and party will be the guests of the ninth grade domestic science class on graduating night, and will be served what we call the Governor’s dinner. This will be the new Governor’s first visit to Chemawa. Our dairy herd was very carefully tested out last week by the (J. S. Bureau of Animal Industry officers. Their report is received and states “ Perfect condi tion.” Can you beat that? Mr. Teter, our dairy man, is very careful and thorough. Mrs. Myrtle Waddell, who has been acting as do mestic science teacher for some weeks, left for her home on Sunday. All of the domestic science classes were given their examinations last week, thus com pleting the year’s work in that department. The ladies of the school, known as the “ Dipperiaus’ ’ entertained the men folk and families of the institution last Wednesday evening in the gym. Space forbids us the pleasure of detailed comment, but suffice it to say that the 90 or more persons present had a royal good time and enjoyed a sumptuous banquet a la cafeteria. We never had a finer party, thanks to these splendid lady entertainers. Mr. David S. Turner, head of the agricultural de partment, has a splendid organization and all work under him is going forward splendidly. We never have seen the farm and garden look better. Every year we have an excess quantity of hay, oats, wheat, raised on the farm, which we sell; also hogs, eggs, and hundreds of cockerells, thus bringing in some thousands of dollars for use in operating our school. During chapel exercises last Sunday evening the orchestra played “ On the Mesa Grande” by Maurice, Harry Frost sang “ Pale Moon” by Logan, a chorus of boys sang “ Vesper” by Seeboeck, John Petellin recited a selection bom “ Julius Caesar,” the choir sang Come Unto Me” by Thomas, and Supt. Hall concluded the evening’s program with a very fine talk. His remarks were addressed mainly to members of the graduating class, bat were o f such a character that they should have been valued by all, for he voiced sentiments and ideas founded on veritable truths. It was a splendid talk and one that the seniors will do well to remember. PAGE 3 M ADE GOOD A brief summary of our baseball schedule shows that our team has won seven of the nine games played, lias made 68 runs «against a total of 29 by our oppon ents, has made 118 hits to 62 by our opponents, and our pitchers have fanned 90 batters while the pitchers of the opposing teams have sent 50 of our stickers back to warm the bench. The score and the games as they were played are given below: Chemawa 16 Stayton High School 1 Chemawa 4 Oregon State Prison 2 Chemawa 12 Salem High School 2 Chemawa 6 Mt. Angel College 5 Chemawa 10 Willamette U. 5 Chemawa 15 Oregon State prison 7 Chemawa 1 Columbia University 4 Chemawa 3 Columbia University 0 Chemawa 1 Molalla High School 3 W HO W IL L W IN Now that commencement is only few days away we are beginning to wonder: Who will win the competitive drill? Who will win the inter class track and field meet? Who will be the highest point winner? Who will put on the best stunt at the students’ campus meeting? I Who will be chosen our most consistent and consci entious industrial worker? Who will be awarded the most coveted prize of all— as our school honor students. These are a few but not all the prizes which are causing us to wonder “ who will w in.” The prizes offered this year are just as good as they ever were and probably a little better, but they will be worth more because of the effort put forth by all the students to get them. Competition is keener this year and the judges are finding it difficult to decide on the winner because of the large number in line for the various prizes. In view of it all the judges are turning to the records of the past year and leaving nothing undone that will determine the rightful prize winner. For the most part the winners have put in their best licks long ago as the work in both their industrial and academic departments will be considered from the be ginning of the school term as well as their final averages. Outside work as well as inside work is also causing us to wonder “ who will win” for the inter-class track and field meet has worked us all up to a higher pitch this year than before. Each class has its team organized and what promises to be the most exciting meet ever witnessed will be held on Tuesday morning, May 29. While we will do everything possible to have those taking part in the operetta spare their voices for the play yet we know we might just as well try to keep the sun from shining because of the class spirit. Each of the long list of events carries with it three prizes and the class tracksters have been train ing hard to carry off the beautiful loving cup for the winning class and the many pretty printed red, white and blue ribbons offered as individual prizes.
