A very interesting program was rendered bv the Carnation Division. Every number alluded to the Indian. An Indian love song was sung by Tillie Walking Bear. She is a Crow Indian.

If enthusiasm counts for anything we ought to gain a great deal on this detail. Yesterday we served our first meal—a luncheon. It was w’ell prepared, and needless to say, it was enjoyed by everyone. In previous lessons we baked bread and made some cakes. Martha Kinnineck and Josephine Racine took the prize for bread making. The best cakes were made by Frances Morrow’ and Aleatha Olney. The other division of the sixth grade are here now. They are studying what they should eat for breakfast. The Junior girls, on their last work day, opened the new’ domestic science cottage. All of the ladies of Chemawa were invited to a tea. This was served by Mrs. Brickell’s girls and prepared by Miss Strout’s class. The cottage is an example of what can be ac complished with small expense. The artistic beauty of the cottage was appreciated by all of the callers. All of the planning and arranging was done by Mrs. Brickell and her girls. Goodbye until next week, T he H appy S ophomores . JUNIOR NOTES Our new’ classmate’s name is Dorothy M. Parker. She is full of pep. We all feel like bright silver dollars after our visit to the legislature. Another new’ Junior has been added toour collection, which makes it seventy-nine. We were proud that a number of our Junior boys took part in the Reliance open session. That speaks well for us. Agatha Crouch received 98 percent in ancient history last month. We are beginning to wonder w’hat she will get this month. We aie beginning to realize that our kind teacher, Mr. Fisher, is back. We were all tickled when we saw him in his old classroom. Talk about new class songs, w e have three new ones. The favorite tunes are, “Mah Jongg,” “Last night on the back porch,” “I love you.” Recently this part of Oregon has had its guota of rain—and then some! The government report last Monday morning showed that we had an excess of two and one-half inches of rain to our credit since Septem ber 1st. This is quite a bit of extra moisture, especi ally in a country that is normally quite moist in the winter anyway. The majority of us can swim in case of necessity’, so we are not worrying.
