THE CHEM AW A AMERICAN
LOCAL
The girls in Hawley Hall are delighted with their
new Navajo rugs.
Mrs. Brickell and daughter Virginia spent the week
end with Mrs. Brickell’s mother and sister who live in
Portland.
The farm detail have harvested about 2,000 bushels
of potatoes. They are about one-third through with
this work.
Not long ago we asked one of our dear “devils,”
“If he had his choice, on what of all days in the year
he would prefer to die?” He at once replied, “The
day after Christmas.” Reader, think this over.
Mr. Alvin Saunders, Miss Mary Saunders and Miss
Letha Miller were week-end guests of Mr. and Mrs.
Iliff. They attended the Saturday evening social, and
being in school, no doubt enjoyed immensely the Iliff
home hospitality.
Miss Mary Thomas arrived Sunday afternoon from
Bellingham, Washington. Miss Thomas is a new ap
pointee in the service. She will take the kindergar
ten work that was in charge of Miss Milner, who re
turned to her home in Portland on Sunday.
Dr. Thomson and Dr. Collins removed the tonsils of
four of the students last Friday forenoon. Miss
Thompson of the teaching force also had her tonsils
removed on the same day. The hospital has taken
care of 47 boys and 18 girls since Oct. 1, 1925.
Mr. R. J. Peratrovich *and wife from Klawack,
Alaska, were week-end visitors at the school. Mr.
Peratrovich has three sisters, Anna, Agnes and Mable,
and a daughter Helen at the Chemawa School. Mr.
Peratrovich was very enthusiastic about Chemawa.
He said that his slogan was, “Get my people into the
United States to be educated.”
Saturday afternoon the Girl Reserves entertained
the new students of McBride Hall. It was a Japanese
affair and every girl was asked to dress in a Japanese
costume. The “ Y” cabinet girls served tea and wafers
for refreshments in real Japanese fashion. The room
was beautifully decorated, carrying out the Japanese
idea. All who attended reported a delightful after
noon.
Dr. Fred C. Taylor of the Methodist Church in
Salem spoke to the students on Sunday afternoon.
Dr. Taylor’s talk was interesting and very instructive.
He told in a masterly but simple way the story of the
Good Samaratan and a like story of David. All look
forward to another visit from Dr. Taylor, as he prom
ised if he talked to the student body again that his
subject would be the “American Eagle.”
On Oct. 17, 1925 an extra social was given in honor
of the football team. Coquelle Thompson, who had
suffered a broken finger in the game with Salem High,
was able to be there and proved himself almost as
much of a “hero” at the social as at the game the
Wednesday before. Reginald DePoe, somewhat worse
for wear in Wednesday’s game, was also present with
his wounds.
During chapel last Sunday evening in addition to
an exceptionally fine talk by Supt. Hall, on practical
lines, the orchestra played a “Slavonic Characteristic”
by Ascher, Aaron Isaac sang “The Ringers” by Lohr,
Grace Peterson and Harriett Hill sang as a duet “Whis
pering Hope” by Hawthorne, Oxcenia Hendrickson
recited “The Preacher’s Boy,” and the choir sang the
“Author of Salvation” by Gabriel. It was a good
chapel.
