THE CH EM AWA AMERICAN
LOCAL
Messrs. Friske and Kunkel have been “ailing,”
but not “down” the past week.
Charley Ute, Benjamin Zebear and Charley Wilson
are recent arrivals at Chemawa. Welcome to our city!
The “Y” meeting on Sunday was a New Year’s
Song service and was much enjoyed by all present.
Mrs. Brickell, having undergone a minor opera­
tion at the hospital, is well on her way to being out
“around” soon.
Archie Greycloud and Solomon Fleury are the new
officers in Mitchell Hall, relieving Alfred Bernard and
Charley George.
Mr. Henderson made a trip up into the Sandy
country yesterday, taking John Burdett to his brother
James who resides at Sandy.
Mr. Henry Schultz of Salem, well known to all Che­
mawa, is at present working in the carpenter shop,
owing the absence of Mr. Mason on account of his re­
cent serious accident.
Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Bradley are now at Ft. Lapwai,
Idaho, where Mr. Bradley is foreman on a large building
under construction by the government. They are
well known to a large number of people in the service.
Monday evening the F. E. U. entertained their
friends at Hawley Hall. After a “social hour” and
games, refreshments were served. Mrs. Hall, Mrs.
Bent, Mrs. Vesper and Miss Judd won the favors of
the evening.
Of late we have had some pretty cool weather here
and to be on the safe side many of our auto owners
have been draining the radiators on their cars. So
far this has probably not been necessary—but “it
might have been.”
Mr. Mason, who had the misfortune to have his
hand badly cut by a circular saw recently, is now rest­
ing much easier and his wounds seem to be healing
properly. For the past two weeks he has experienced
a time of great suffering.
The weather man could not have been any kinder to
Chemawa than in giving such beautiful days during the
holidays for the athletic sports, and he is still just as
good, for the ice he has furnished lor the skating is
certainly enjoyed by all.
Mr. Carroll and Miss Thornhill deserve much praise
for the springlike appearance of the chapel decorations
for the Sunday evening exercises on January 3rd and
10th. Jack Frcst has been quite busy lately and it is
difficult to find decorating material, but Mr. Carroll
and Miss Thornhill have demonstrated that “where
there’s a will, there's a way.”

Marion Morgan, assisted by Elsie Adams, gave a
dinner in the D. S. Dept, on Thursday. The guests
were Supt. and Mrs. Hall, Miss Strout, Mrs. Palmer,
Allan Shepard and Jesse Morgan. The girls were
highly complimented on the way they served the din­
ner.
The Kappa Alpha boys held their regular meeting
on Thursday evening. At this meeting it was decided
that they “face the camera” on Saturday. This they
did without any disastrous results to the latter, after
which they adjourned to the movies and enjoyed
Rudolph Valentino in “The Cobra.”
Mr. Fisher gave an interesting demonstrated talk on
chemistry at assembly on Wednesday morning. Miss
Judd talked to the afternoon division. Miss Judd’s
subject was H E L L O—giving points on Health, En­
thusiasm, Loyally, Learning and Others. The first
letters of these topics spelling H E L LO.
It is our sad mission to report the death and burial
of Mrs. John Burdett, mother of Mrs. Thomas Ross
and John Burdett of Chemawa. The deceased was aged
92 years and 26 days at the time of death. She may
well have been called an Oregon pioneer. Her hus­
band, Rev. John Burdett, died about six years ago.
Both were exceptionally fine people and of a char­
acter that makes the world the better for their having
lived in it. Interment was made on Sunday at the
Clagett cemetery.
Supt. Hall being unable to attend chapel service last
Sunday evening, Mr. Iliff was in charge. Capt. Stacy
made a strong appeal to the students for recognition
of Mr. Hall’s wonderful achievements during his forty
years in the Indian service. It was a splendid tribute
to a man soon to be lost to the service—to an able
friend to the Indians, to his rights and his education.
In addition the orchestra played the “White Swan” by
Stults, A vex Miller recited “The Nation’s Need for
Men,” Raymond Haldane sang the '‘Armorer’s Song”
bv DeKoven, a septet of girls sang “When the Roses
Bloom” by Reichardt, Beatrice Plummer recited “An
Impromptu Fairy Tale,” and the choir sang the “Light
of the World” by Brackett.
Friday evening the Excelsior Literary Society pre­
sented Mr. and Mrs. Turney and John Dexter in
recital. All of the numbers were high-class music;
and the splendid attention given by the large audience
present spoke more voluminously for the excellent
rendering of the numbers than the hearty applause they
received. Mr. Turney and John Dexter played a viola
and a violin solo respectively—both very fine. To
a lover of music Mrs. Turney’s accompaniments are a
delight. Everyone looks forward to the date when
they will hear these three again. John Dexter is really
an artist on the violin and is only one more Chemawa
boy that the “Turneys” have turned out of whom
they and Chemawa may justly feel proud.
