PAGE 3 THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL DECLAMATION CONTEST The school social held in the gym last Saturday evening was an enjoyable affair. A most creditable vocational declamation contest was held in the auditorium last Monday evening. Excitement ran high. The judges were Mrs. Henbetz, Miss Thompson and Miss Ross of the Salem high school, and they awarded Louis Du puis first place; Grace Johnson, second; Marie Bauer, third, and Merceline Farlow, fourth. In fact, all contestants did well. The program was as follows: Joyce Kilmer ...... Grace Johnson Tenth Grade In February ...... Geraldine Toulou Seventh Grade Encouragement............................................................ Marie Bauer Ninth Grade The High Tide........................................ Leander Wilson Eighth Grade A Boy in a Dime Museum ... Mercline Farlow Seventh Grade The Call to Arms........................................ Louis Dupuis Tenth Grade The Saving of Nome............................................... George Flach Ninth Grade They Met in Death ..... Lillian Holst Eighth Grade Four Little Foxes ... - Myron Anderson Seventh Grade Rose Gray and Maud Potts, of Portland, were vis itors at their old school on Sunday. Mr. Harry W. Camp, Traveling Auditor for the Indian Bureau, is making an official visit at Chemawa this week. Supervisor W. W. Coon arrived at Chemawa last Monday. He will be a welcome visitor here for about a week while attending his official duties. The fifth seven-course demonstration dinner was given on Wednesday by Martha Edelman and Mabel Desautel. It was equal to any previous formal dinner and was highly enjoyed by the especially invited guests. Covers were laid for eight. Supt. and Mrs. Hall have received a card announc ing the arrival of a baby boy at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Donan, Portland. Mrs. Donan was Annie Miller before her marriage, and was graduated from Chemawa with the class of 1920. Supt. and Mrs. Chalcraft and daughter, Miss Hallie, stopped at Chemawa for an hour or two on Monday as they were passing through. Supt. Chalcraft has busi ness in Portland, Grand Ronde and Tillamook which will occupy him for about a week. The viaduct under the railroad which in some way became clogged with debris, backing up the water until a veritable lake was made below the barns, was unstopped by the railroad force on Saturday. The auto road is now in condition for travel again. After the declamation contest on Monday night Supt. and Mrs. Hall entertained the nine contestants, the vocational teachers, the high school teachers from Salem who acted as judges, Mr. Coon, Mr. Camp, Mr. and Mrs. Iliff and Mrs. Brickell at their home for re freshments and a delightful social hour. The following companies rank first for the week ending March 21st for marching, girls: Hawley Hall, G Company, Helen Donnelly, captain; Winona Hall, D Company. Ida Uttecht, captain; McBride Hall, B Company, captain, Lvdia Davis Boys, McNary, Co. A, Jacob Atkins, captain; Co. B, Nick Stepetin, captain; Small Boys Co F, James Anderson, captain; Mitchell. Co. D, Charlie George, captain. Last Sunday evening our chapel exercises seemed to be of even greater interest than usual. The orchestra played “Devotion” by Mackie Beyer, Grace Peterson sang “Four-Leaf Clover” by Coombs, the girls’ oc tette sang “Pale in the Amber West” by Parks, Lydia Davis recited “Bud’s Fairy Tale.” the choir sang “Out O er the Deep” by Wilson, and Supt. Hall gave a splendid talk, in fact, he seemed in just the mood to do justice to his subject—and he did it. Industry and right thinking were the key notes of his talk.

Jacob Atkins and Charles George will be right there. If you want to see some good drawings ask to see one of our Junior artist’s pictures. He is better known as William Markishtum. Thanks to Dorothy Parker, the Juniors had the honor of answering one of the questions that Agatha Crouch asked in assembly last week. We have kept in touch with our former teacher, Mrs. McDowell, who is in Pala, Cal. She says that she is doing fine but wishes she was still teaching her old class. We are very proud of the way our boys and girls responded in try-outs for the declamation contest. The poems recited were all very good. Marie Bauer and George Flach were chosen to be our representa tives.
