About The Chemawa American (Chemawa, Or.) 19??-current | View Entire Issue (March 3, 1926)
THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL Chemawa is now 46 years old. Mrs. Eaton and Miss Earlougher were Portland visitors on Saturday. Spring weather has attracted many boys to the base ball diamond and track practice. Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Aldrich of Salem visited friends in Chemawa during the past week. Andrew St. Martin visited his brothers on Saturday afternoon. He returned home the same day. Anna and Roy Peratrovich received the sad news Friday that their mother had passed away in Klawack, Alaska. The Reliance Society is quite busy preparing their open session program which will be held on Friday evening. Grace Johnson, Mabel Bremner and Frank Mann are recovering rapidly from their operations for ap pendicitis. The Literary Societies did not hold their regular meetings on Friday evening on account of the basket ball game. The Junior Boys celebrated on Monday evening over winning the “Song” and “Yell” cakes on Che mawa’s birthday. The song of the lawn mowers can be heard here now without cessation—which indicates that the grass is growing rapidly. John Dexter, Jesse Morgan, Charley Fagerstrom and Charley Moon enjoyed some of their own cooking in the woods on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Bent was the lucky fellow on Sunday afternoon, as it was his turn to have a delightful walk with the McBride Hall girls on such a perfect day. It is a little early to see peach trees in bloom in the Willamette Valley, but a few blooms were in evidence during the latter part of February. Very unusual! Thelma and Albert Orson visited their sister Martha this week-end. Thelma is now living at Seattle and Albert, who is of the class of 1923, was welcomed by many friends on his return to his alma mater. The Sunday Statesman contained a nice half-tone of Mrs. Hall, accompained a brief sketch of her work at Chemawa and her status as a social leader in our sec tion. We were, indeed, gratified to note the special prominence accorded her. Theresa Williams and Grace Peterson entertained Miss White, Odessa Johnson, Harriett Hill, Moses George, Leander Wilson, Eldred George and Law rence Hill at dinner on Sunday. This was a birthday party in honor of Harriett Hill. PAGE 3 The next great event is St. Patrick’s day. Un doubtedly he was a great figure in Ireland in his time. Spraying of fruit trees is at hand again and the various details of the farm are about ready for the task. Soon all will be hustling to plant, in the gar den and field, that there may be a harvest this fall. Full fruit and root houses are wonderful things to have during the heart of a cold and dreary winter. We always have them. Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Henderson of Portland were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Iliff over Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson are both “old timers” of the service. Mrs. Henderson will be remembered as Miss Hilton. While not in the service they have not lost interest in the Indian or the service, personally, and their friends and acquaintances surely enjoyed their visit here on Sunday. Mr. Roy Bradley, supervisor of construction in the Indian Service, is at present in Chemawa looking into the matter of “preliminaries” relative to the construc tion of our fine new dining-room for the students. It is probable that work on the same will begin during mid summer or early fall. At present Mr. Bradley is locat ed at Ft. Lapwai, Idaho, where he is supervising quite a lot of building. During chapel on Sunday evening, Supt. Hall in charge, the orchestra played an overture by Schlepe- grell, Reno Booth and Raymond Haldane, each con tributed vocal numbers, Edna Audette gave a recita tion, an octette of boys sang “Massa’s in the Cold, Cold Ground” by Foster, a chorus of girls sang “Sun set” by Watson, and the choir sang “His Name Alone is Excellent” by Woodcock. Capt. Stacy entertained Supt. and Mrs. Hall at the Club on Sunday noon. Mrs. Parks entertained them Wednesday, and Mr. and Mrs. Downie entertained them Friday noon with Mr. and Mrs. Turney, and Mr. Goodnough from Portland, who was visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Turney. In fact Mr. and Mrs. Hall have been guests so frequently at the Club lately that the Club members miss them when they are not there. The Kappa Alpha boys were entertained at the Domestic Science Department on Wednesday evening. Besides the regular members Miss Strout, Mrs. Brickell and Supt. and Mrs. Hall were present. A delicious three-course dinner was served by Anna Peratrovich, Harriett Hill, Edna Audette and Flora Dexter. This dinner was given by the boys in honor of Supt. and Mrs. Hall. Moses George, Floyd Dupuis, Solomon Fleury, Louis Dupuis and Jesse Morgan spoke of the splendid help given the organization by Supt. and Mrs. Hall.
