PAGE 3 THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL Let us introduce 1926! Mrs. Roddy and family were dinner guests of Mr. Fisher on New Years. Archie Demmert spent Christmas with his parents in Seattle, Washington. Supt. and Mrs. Hall, and Miss Skipton, were Mrs. Wood’s guests at dinner on New Years. Mr. and Mrs. Iliff, Miss Earlougher and Miss Houk were Portland visitors during the holidays. Dr. Collard, traveling physician in the Indian Ser vice, is with us and will remain for sometime. Coquille Thompson, Elmer and Augustine Logan spent Christmas with their home folks at Siletz. Dr. Rowland and daughter, Mrs. Green, wereSupt. and Mrs. Hall’s dinner guests on Christmas Day. The shops and the academic departments are all registering in old-time form and business is good for all. Dr. C. T. Alexander, a surgeon in the navy, visited Mr. and Mrs. Gibson here at Chemawa one day last week. Dr. Alexander is a nephew of Mrs. Gibson. We enjoyed ideal weather for our Christmas holi days—clear and cool. At present we are strictly nor mal from a weather standpoint—rain and fog. What ever comes we like it. Mr. and Mrs. James J. Brown of Smith River, Calif., visited us during the holidays. Mr. Brown was a stu dent at Chemawa in 1909. He reports that every thing is rosy with him. Mr. Norris, our efficient bandmaster, has been almost incapacitated of late through suffering with a carbun cle on his neck. These “pets” are certainly able to cause a lot of human distress. On New Year’s Day it was forty years since Supt. Hall entered the Indian Service. This is a good long time to serve with all the “pep” and “ginger” that Mr. Hall puts into whatever he undertakes—and he still has a lot of “initiative” up his sleeve. Few men, indeed, would have stood up under the responsibilities that have been his for so many years. During chapel last Sunday evening Supt. Hall gave a splendid talk to the students in which he ad monished them to settle down to serious study and work. He made it most clear that progress is made in accordance with the purpose back of it. The orchestra played a “Bolero” by Eno, Reno Booth sang “All Alone” by Berlin, Carmen Clairmont recited “Fool Younguns,” the octette boys sang “Soldiers of the Captain” by Spohr, Martha Orsen gave a recitation, the choir sang “Stand Up for Jesus” by Miller. A good chapel! Robert Peratrovich was down from Seattle, Wash., for a brief holiday visit with his sister and friends here. He is now attending high school in Seattle and stands among the first of his class in all examinations. He will graduate this year and it is his intention to complete a full course at the University of Washing ton, entering that institution next fall. Louis Colby, now attending Haskell Institute at Lawrence, Kansas, spent the holidays with us, to our pleasure and his own, we are pleased to state. Louis is one of the bright stars of the great Haskell football team and came w’est to Los Angeles to play with his teammates a game in the “city of the angels” just be fore the holidays. This gave him an opportunity to visit us. On Monday he took his departure to again take up his work in Haskell, where he is mak ing a name for himself. WEDDING BELLS At seven o’clock on the evening of New Year’s Day, Jan. 1, 1926, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Guthrie, a mile west of Chemawa, was solemnized the wedding of Mr. Clyde R. Cardy and Miss Marie Doro thea Catherine Vesper, Rev. N. K. Tully of the First Presbyterian church of Salem officiating. At the appointed time, to the strains of the “Bridal Chorus” from Lohengrin, played by our Mr. and Mrs. Turney, the bridal party marched to a position under an arch beautifully decorated with Oregon grape, white narcissus and snowberries, where they were met by the minister who performed the impressive ceremony that made the young couple husband and wife. The bride was elegantly gowned in white satin and wore a veil; she carried a beautiful bouquet of bridal roses; the groom wore conventional black; the matron of honor was Mrs. Lenora Truhn Croy, of Portland, and Mr. Gust Friske was best man. It was really an unusually impressive ceremony. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. E. C. Vesper, employed at Chemawa, where she, too, is employed as the head of the domestic art department. The groom holds a position with the Valley Packing Co. Both are capable and energetic and success is certain to bless them. After the ceremony delicious refreshments were served and there was a social time for all in a home that was so “homey” that there was no evidence of restraint on the part of any one. All will assert that Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie are ideal as host and hostess. The bride and groom slipped away quietly and took the train to Portland, where they passed a brief honeymoon. Both are now at home in Chemawa and each attending to duty just as in the past. A large number of Chemawa people attended the wedding of this popular young couple and they join whole-heartedly with The American in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Cardy every joy possible during a long and happy life.
