THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL Miss Thomas spent the week-end with her uncle near Turner, Oregon. Supt. and Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Woods were Miss Skipton’s dinner guests on Sunday. The advanced machinists are studying gas engines and are enjoying this work very much. Mr. Mason’s carpenter boys recently delighted the Hawley Hall girls by installing two new broom cabinets. The painter boys challenge any other industrial department for a game of basketball. If interested see Jack Abraham. The members of the “Y” heard a most interesting talk Sunday by Mr. Kimber, secretary of the Marion County High “Y.” Miss Strout was a week-end visitor to Amity. She attended a shower given for her sister, who is to be married on Thanksgiving Day. Mr. Clark, Allan Shepard and Dewey Matt mo tored to Portland on Armistice Day to see the Che- mawa football team defeat the Bachelors’ Club. Mr. Carroll received the sad news this week of the death of his father. Both employees and pupils sympathize with Mr. Carroll in his bereavement. Archie Demmert leads the boys’ Freshmen class in algebra with an average of 99 percent, while Helen Peratrovich leads the girls’ class with a grade of 98 percent. Mrs. Brickell made a business trip to Portland on Thursday last. Virginia did not accompany her, but shared the motherliness of Mrs. Parks and Mrs. Perry with the Winona Hall girls. The Winona Hall girls are very sorry to lose their “C” Company captain, Ida Uttecht, who has recently moved to McBride Hall. Alice Clark was promoted to the captaincy of “C” Company. George Gardner of Craig, Alaska, entered Chemawa’s freshmen class recently, and chose the machine shop for his industrial work. Percy Morrison came with him. He is also in the freshmen class and in the machine shop. For a few hours on Thursday morning we had a down-pour of rain that was pretty nearly up to Oregon's best efforts along this line. It taxed our water drains to care for the flood. Oh, well, we had a fine autumn, any way! Miss Covalt, one of the public school nurses of Salem who has given Chemawa her cheerful and help ful services in the health program for the year, at tended the open session of the Winona Literary Society on Saturday evening. Mr. Leavenworth and daughter enjoyed the Winona Society program on Saturday evening. Mrs. Leaven worth is advisor to the Winona girls and no doubt was justly proud of the splendid way in which the society rendered their program. Miss Virginia C. Caryl arrived Friday evening from Pollock, South Dakota. Miss Caryl is a teacher and takes the place of Miss Lacy, who has filled the place temporarily since the opening of school. This is Miss Caryl’s first appointment. PAGE 3 The Sigma Phi Delta girls held their regular meet ing on Wednesday evening in the home of Mrs. Hall. After the necessary business was transacted, and after a short social hour, ice cream and cake were served. Iwery Junior Reliance Society boy had on a green and gold cap at the Winona program. Miss Thornhill, their advisor, was quite pleased with the appearance they made and the way they gave their yells. They certain ly made themselves “seen and heard” in a most or derly way. Rev. Mr. Evans of the First Presbyterian Church of Salem addressed the pupils on Sunday afternoon. His talk was upon the “House Budded Upon a Rock” and it was highly inspirational and instructive. His wife accompanied him and sang “I Heard the Voice of Jesus” in a most pleasing way. We regret that we have not space that will permit an extended write-up of the Open Session of the Wi nona Literary Society which occurred in the auditorium last Saturday evening. From reports to reach us the session was a great success in every way and pleased all in attendance. Congratulations are due the girls of the society and their critic, Mrs. Leavenworth, all of whom worked faithfully to make the affair the success it was. Mr. Bent, Chemawa Scout Master, is in receipt of the following letter from Geo. J. Fisher, of New York, Deputy Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America: “I have been greatly interested recently in reports which have come to the national office from Mr. Hayward of our regional office in Spokane con cerning the very splendid work which you are doing with your boys. Mr. Hayward speaks very highly of the results which you are achieving in your school and we are, indeed, gratified to know that you are finding the Scout program of value in your work.” During chapel exercises last Sunday evening Supt. Hall made an especially strong talk to the students in regard to the necessity of them sticking and hanging on to anything they may undertake. He made it clear that there is no hope for a quitter. In addition to his fine talk the orchestra played a “Slavonic” num ber by Ascher, Reno Booth sang “Let Us Have Peace” by Ball, a sextet of boys sang “Kentucky Babe,” Eve lyn Whitebear and Marlieta Davis sang as a duet “One Fleeting Hour” by Lee, Nellie Rhinehart recited “Le Marseillaise,” and the choir sang “Out O’er the Deep” by Wilson. Supt. and Mrs. Hall motored over to the Siletz Agency last Thursday and returned home on Friday. Mr. Hall went there to take over the Agency and everything connected with it. He stated that he found everything in first-class order. While at Siletz Supt. and Mrs. Hall were guests of Supt. and Mrs. Chal craft. A most pleasing social feature of their trip, ac cording to Supt. Hall, was a fine birthday dinner for Supt. Chalcraft, who had attained his seventieth year. The dinner was given at noon on Friday and Supt. and Mrs. Hall started for home shortly after. Covers were laid for Supt. and Mrs. Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Larsen and daughter Vivian, Supt. and Mrs. Chal craft and Miss Hallie Chalcraft. It proved a memor able occasion.
