Mr. Bent took a prominent part on the program put
on in Salem last week by the MacDowell Club. In
addition to supervising the staging of Indian tableaux,
etc., he gave a talk on Indian art, music, legends,
traditions and life in general. We have heard most
favorable comments on his part in the program.
During chapel on Sunday evening Supt. Hall gave
the students a fine talk on the importance of meaning
business every moment of their school life. He spoke
most convincingly, too. The orchestra played a “Se

Brought the Roses” by Openshaw, a nonet of girls sang
“The Stars are Brightly Shining” by Bronte, George
Flack gave a recitation, and the choir sang “I Love to
Tell the Story” by Gabriel. It was a most delight
ful chapel.
Last Friday evening the Chemawa orchestra, the
girls’ octette and boys’ quartet put on a program at
“Brush College,” which is in Polk county, a few
miles from Salem. Our people provided entertainment
for the grange meeting which was scheduled for that
evening and they were all splendidly received. A de
licious “spread” preceded the program—a regular
banquet. The students were conveyed to the meeting
on the truck and were chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs.
Mason. This proved another occasion when “Che
mawa made good.”

come in behalf of his society. Mrs. Hall and Capt.
Stacy also gave short talks. This was followed by a
very enjoyable impromptu program, after which punch
and cake were served by the hostesses. This was a
most enjoyable evening and one that the Kappa Alphas
will never forget, for Mrs. Hall and the Sigma girls
were certainly ideal hostesses.

OUR SCHOOL SONG
Chemawa we’ll love thee forever,
Thy maples and walnuts so fair,
The sunlight that falls on the fir trees,
Thy walks and thy flowers so rare;
And over the western mountains,
Our banner is floating aliove,
And dear to our hearts will be ever,
Chemawa, the school that we love.
Chorus
Oh! here’s to our dear red and white,
For you all our lives we will fight,
Our homage we bring,
The welkin shall ring,
All hail to our dear red and white.
Thy sons and thy daughters so loyal,
Proud to own the dear name that we bear,
For the truth and the knowledge thou teachest
We are ready to fight and to dare;
For friendship so valued we thank thee,
Our grateful tribute we bring,
All hail to our alma mater,
Chemawa, to thee we sing.
Chorus
