The Sophomore class boast of the greatest number
of letter men in any class. Out of 22 ten wear the “C. ”
The seventh grade also boasts of seven “C” men.
They say that by the time they are Sophomores they
will all be wearing the “C.”
The Juniors defeated the Sophomores in the first
baseball game of the season on Sunday afternoon by a
score of 11 to 7. Solomon Fleury and Jacob Atkins
starred for the sophomores, while Thompson, Charles
DePoe and the Logan boys were the “bright lights”
of the Junior nine.
The eleventh grade and the ninth grade girls took
their mid-term examination in commercial geography
on Friday afternoon. The ninth grade boys took their
examination in bookkeeping on Saturday morning.
The girls will now take up bookkeeping and the boys
will take up commercial geography.
Just as we were going to press we learned of the
death of Mr. Ira S. Loos, at LaPorte, Indiana, on
March 2nd. Mr. Loos was for many years bandmas­
ter at Chemawa and had many warm friends here who
will be shocked to learn the sad news of his death.
In our next issue we expect to give a more complete
account of the passing of Mr. Loos—our friend.
The Wednesday assemblies were entertained by pu­
pils of the eighth grade in the morning. Julia Walker
reviewed the life of Edward Everett Hale, Bertha Joe
told the story of “The Man Without a Country,”
and Marie Andrews asked questions in current events.
In the afternoon George Jackson gave the life of Kip­
ling, Myron Anderson recited “The Recessional,”
and Robert Perkins asked questions in current events.
Both assemblies were interesting and instructive.
On Sunday evening Dr. Seitz and a few of his
talented pupils rendered a musical program to the
delight of all. It was a wonderful evening and those
who appeared on the program seemed inspired. Dr.
Seitz should feel proud of the showing made by his
pupils, and no doubt he is. He was at the piano in
support of his vocal pupils. Mr. Iliff, acting super­
intendent in charge, made a splendid introductory
talk in which he voiced the sentiment of all Chemawa
at the special treat to be given them. Miss Esther
Dieffenbach sang “Oh Divine Redeemer” by Gounod;
Miss Evangeline Hall gave two piano solos, “Hun­
garian Dance” by Potjes and “Valcik” by Mojkres;
Mr. Lyman McDonald sang * ‘The Ragged Vagabond”
by Randolph; Miss Nancy Thielsen sang “Somewhere
a Voice is Calling” by Sanderson; this was followed
by a group of trios rendered by Mrs. Turney at the
piano, Mr. Turney, violin, and Dr. Seitz, cello. The
numbers played were the well-known “Intermezzo”
by Mascagni, the “Barcarolle” by Offenbach, and a
“Minuetto” from a work Dr. Seitz is at present com­
posing as a classic trio. This was the first time that
it has been played in public. It is an unusually
beautiful inspiration and was enjoyed by all. Every
number of the entire program was thoroughly enjoyed
and enthusiastically encored. At the conclusion of
the program Mr. Iliff again thanked Dr. Seitz and his
artist pupils and called upon Mr. Downie to have the
student body give three “’rahs,” which closed an
evening long to be remembered.
