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:

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;

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.

JUNIOR NOTES
Just watch our boys when it comes to baseball.
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.
