THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL Miss Thomas spoke to the “Y” Girl Reserves on Sunday afternoon. Simeon Bean visited his daughter, Eva, and son, Simeon, last week. Mrs. Clark has been substituting at the hospital this past week as nurse. A carload of finishing lumber has arrived, which de lights Mr. Mason and his carpenter boys. The girls at McBride Hall are rejoicing with Mrs. Brewer over the new switches put inby the electricians. Seven years ago today the various nations of the world declared a cessation of the bloodiest war in all history. The McNary Hall boys claim that the apples that follow study hour are “almost” equal to the study hour itself. Ghosts and the like were unknown at Chemawa on Halloween night, but a social for everyone proved a most enjoyable affair. Supt. and Mrs. Hall will pay an official visit this week to the Siletz Agency which is soon to be under Mr. Hall’s jurisdiction. Miss Skipton made a trip to Portland this week to visit relatives. During her absence the dining hall was in charge of Miss Eleanor Houk. Supt. and Mrs. Hall were up in Washington, in the Sound country, a few days ago on business. It certainly was disagreeable weather for motoring. No hive of bees ever worked any harder than did the companies of Boy Scouts last Tuesday evening. It takes work to be a Scout, for their motto is “Service.” Next P'riday evening the girls of the Winona Liter ary Society will entertain in the auditorium with their annual “open session.” A fine program is promised. In Wednesday’s assemblies Miss Houk and Mr. Fisher entertained the students in most pleasing and instructive ways, while Jack Abraham and Alfred Ber nard asked questions in current events. Sunday afternoon the “Y. M.” had one of the most interesting meetings of the year. The entire program was voluntary. Come over, boys, to one of the meet ings and see for yourselves what you are missing. Albert Bercier, a graduate of Flandreau, has joined the Junior Class, making a total of thirty-seven mem bers. Albert’s home is in Rolla, North Dakota, a town about eight miles from the Canadian border. Albert says he is delighted with Chemawa and the fine Oregon climate. He goes to the machine shop for his indus trial work. PAGE 3 Thursday evening Mrs. Brewer and a force of girls were over to McNary Hall selling delicious doughnuts. A birthday dinner was given to Phdon Brickell at the Wigwam on November 4, 1925. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Agnew and Mr. Frank Perry were the honored guests. Mr. Agnew and Mr. Perry are co-workers with Mr. Brickell on the Salem “Capital Journal.” Mr. and Mrs. Hugh A. D.Carroll arrived Thursday from Sterling, Colorado. Mr. Carroll comes to Che mawa after several years of experience as a teacher. He is a graduate of the University of Arkansas and taught two years in Mr. Stacy’s home town, Wynne, Arkansas. The Kappa Alpha boys met with Mr. Stacy in room seven of the school building on Thursday evening. A letter of congratulations from the Sigma Phi Deltas was received and read with pleasure. After the regu lar business was dispensed with we adjourned to meet again on November 19, 1925. We are in receipt of information to the effect that Arthur Moore, a former Chemawa student, died in Corvallis, Or., on Oct. 22, and was buried at Siletz, Or. He was a fine young man and had many friends. He was a nephew of James McMann of Chemawa and of Mrs. Katie Orton of Siletz. During last week Supt. and Mrs. Chalcraft and daughter, Miss Hallie, of Siletz, were here on business and pleasure for a short time. Mr. Chalcraft had business at Chemawa, Portland and Grand Ronde in connection with his preparation to turn the agency at Siletz over to Supt. Hall the latter part of this week. Supt. Chalcraft on his retirement will remain for a few weeks at Siletz and then will go to Seattle to reside. Supt. Hall being absent on business last Sunday evening, our chapel exercises were conducted by Mr. Iliff. The orchestra played “The Land o’ Dreams” by Schumann, Grace Peterson sang “The Americans Come” by Foster, Nellie Rhinehart gave a recitation, Reno Booth sang “Dear Old Pal of Mine” by Rice and the choir sang “Keep the Home Fires Burning” by Novello. It was a program carried out with Arm istice Day in mind and proved an evening of interest for all. Today the team travels back to Portland and will play the Bachelors’ Club at St. Johns. The Club men have an undefeated team this season and have been defeated only twice in eighteen years. That’s some record! Well, we have a good high target to aim at and the team is in fine condition for the fray. The start of this game is apt to see some new faces in our line-up, as some new men are working hard to get a berth on the squad as regulars before the season closes.
