THE HOLIDAYS AT CHEMAWA
(Continued from page 2)
senting the Washington high school of Portland.
This proved a fine game and was pretty hotly contest
ed throughout. Our fans got their money’s worth.
When the final whistle blew it showed our boys on
the big end of a 23-to-18 score. Right here we wish
to state that Coach Downie and Manager Bent have
treated us to an unusually fine sport series during the
holidays—never better.
On Thursday evening a most delightful costume
party was given in the gym by McBride Hall and Wi
nona Hall girls to their friends. All went as “merrily
as a marriage bell” and the event was in every way
one of the most delightful parties of our holiday season.
Prizes were awarded to those displaying the most
originality in the matter of costumes. The evening
passed all too quickly7 and terminated with the serving
of delicious refreshments. It was New Year’s Eve
and it proved a memorable occasion for all. The
young lady hostesses did themselves proud.
At 2 o’clock in the afternoon of New Year’s Day
nearly everybody on the grounds repaired to the gym
to witness contests in sports between representatives
from the States and Alaska. From start to finish this
proved an afternoon of thrills and kept the crowd on
tip-toe. The States won the contest, but it was no
walk-over and they had to extend themselves to win.
It proved a most interesting meet in every way.
In the evening the younger pupils of the school were
tendered a party in the gymnasium. This, too, proved
a joyous time for all and our younger students will long
remember the evening of New Year’s Day, 1926.
On Saturday evening, Jan. 2, we closed our holiday
schedule of events with a movie, “Classmates,” featur
ing Richard Barthelmess. This proved a delightfu 1
close to our remarkable season of events. Who dares
to declare that we did not have a glorious holiday sea
son at Chemawa? Webelievre that all, from Supt. Hall
down to our youngest student, will declare it the“best
ever.” We are now in 1926—let us settle down to
business now and study and work hard that it may
prove a year of real achievement and we can then be
happy when the holiday season next arrives.
LOCAL
We are informed that Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Bradley
are now at Ft. Lapwai, Idaho, where Mr. Bradley has
employment.
Mrs. Nettie Vandagrift, formerly employed at Che
mawa but now living in Salem, visited with her friends
here on New Year's Day.
Mr. and Mrs. Sanders and Miss Peters motored
over to the agency at Siletz during the holidays week
in order that Miss Peters might attend to some busi
ness matters.
Martin Colby was a visitor at Chemawa during the
holidays. He was especially pleased to meet his bro
ther Louis, who was also with us. At present Martin
has employment at Vernonia, Oregon.
The Haskell Institute orchestra of Lawrence, Kan
sas, broadcasted a fine program last Monday evening.
We were especially interested, as Mr. Melovidoff, di
rector and 1st violinist of the orchestra, was a Che
mawa boy.
In addition to our fine Christmas dinner for the stu
dents there were many private family dinners about
the campus. A splendid dinner was served at the Em
ployes’ Club and many invited guests were priviledged
to enjoy it.
Mr. Mason, our carpenter, had the misfortune to
get his left hand caught in a small circular saw, elec
trically driven, last Thursday morning, Dec. 31st.
His hand was badly cut and it will be some time be
fore he will be able to use it. It is a miracle that it
was not cut off.
A few daysago we were visited by Mr. A. W. Funk
of Crown Point, New Mexico. Mr. Funk is in the
service, holding the position of farmer at the place
named. He bore a letter of introduction from Mr. M.
L. Devol, who is at present principal teacher at Crown
Point, a position that he held at Chemawa some years
ago. We were pleased to meet Mr. Funk and to hear
from Mr. Devol.
