SUPT. AND MBS. HALL ENTEBTAIN
On Tuesday evening, Nov. 24, 1925, the Chemawa
employees spent a most enjoyable evening in the home
of Supt. and Mrs. Hall. “Ye Old-Time Songs” were
sung by the assembled guests with “Old-Time” spirit
and fervor. Between songs readings were given by
Miss Houk, Louis Dupuis and Mr. Stacy. Allan
Shepard and Frank James gave a saxophone-baritone
duet. Mrs. Turney, pianist. John Dexter, violinist,
and Mr. Turney, cellist, gave a trio number for their
instrumentation; a quartet of girls, Anna Peratrovich,
Evelyn Whitebear, Grace Johnson and Edna Audette,
sang a Thanksgiving song and responded to an encore
with “Ole Virginy.”
During the evening Mrs. Hall inaugurated two-
minute exchange conversational periods, the subjects
being announced by the hostess. This proved a most
popular innovation at Chemawa, as was evidenced by
the animated bursts of conversation which followed
the announcement of the period and subject. During
these periods most delicious ‘ ‘old-time’ ’ refreshments—
punch, sweet apple cider, doughnuts, small cakes, and
candies—were served.
Favors were given to the “good talkers” of the
conversational periods and Supervisor Coon, Mrs.
Leavenworth, Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Carroll, Mr.
Stacy and Christobel Iliff were the recipients.
It was a goodly company gathered in a fine home
where, as ever, Supt. and Mrs. Hall proved ideal host
and hostess, and the moments flitted on as if by magic
and ere any one seemed aware of the fact it was time
for “good nights” and expression to host and hostess
of the real joy the evening had given the numerous
guests. Indeed, it was an evening that will long be
remembered by all who were so fortunate as to be in
attendance.
