THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL Chemistry tables are now being installed in Mr. Fisher’s room. Mrs. Eaton and Miss Earlougher shopped in Port land on Saturday. Mr. Bent, with Reggie DePoe as chauffeur, made an official visit to Portland on Saturday. Jesse Morgan was absent from school for a day or so on account of “poison oak” on his face. Mr. Carroll, took Charles Morgan, Joe Matt and Ernest Brunoe to Mt. Angel on Sunday. The Junior class entertained Mr. and Mrs. Iliff, Mrs. Brickell and Miss Strout at a smelt dinner on Wednesday. Mr. Camp, traveling government auditor, arrived here last week in pursuance of his regular duties and will probably be here for some days yet. Mr. Camp has many friends at Chemawa. Mr. Woodard is a recent purchaser of an auto. He now has an Oldsmobile. Mr. Holmes, too, is in evi dence with a new car, a Ford. Chemawa folk are rapidly solving the problem of “getting there”—and back again. The Sophomore class gave a picnic supper in honor of Miss White’s birthday on Friday. A delicious pic nic supper was served. On Thursday evening the Nonpareils surprised her by delivering a delicious sup per to her in her room. Miss Uinta Kirk spent the week-end with her par ents. Mr. Earl Hunter brought her from Corvallis, where she is attending college. They attended the children’s social on Saturday evening and Mr. Hunter certainly played the piano to the delight of all present. They returned to Corvallis on Sunday. Local improvements still continue—the latest is a concrete walk from the front steps of Mitchell Hall east to the pavement. Now, if the boys will only use it a great relief will be afforded the lawn—there is no longer any excuse for paths across this section of the campus. Watch where you step, boys! The Juniors defeated the Seventh Graders in the baseball game on Sunday by a score of 12 to 5. Dew ey Matt, Valin Davis and Paul Keta played a splen did game for the Seventh Grade, while Reggie DePoe, Coquille Thompson and the Logan Brothers showed up well for the Juniors. Fate has declared again that the Juniors shall meet the Freshmen in “deadly com bat.” Neither team has lost a game. With the Mea- chem Brothers, who have shown up so well, an old “war horse” like Leander Wilson to rely on, and such a promising “dark horse” as Ernest Brunoe, the Juniors will have to “play ball” to defeat them. PAGE 3 Mr. Fred Bruce, able clarinetist who was at one time bandmaster at Chemawa, but who of late has been residing in Silverton, leaves this morning for Klamath Falls, where he expects to reside. Before going to the southern part of the state Mr. Bruce visited friends here at the school. We all wish you good luck, Mr. Bruce. Evelyn Roberts and Dorothea Parker served their demonstration dinner on Saturday evening to Miss Gunn, Miss Strout, Mrs. Brickell, Mr. Iliff, Mr. and Mrs. Downie and Master Robert William Downie. This was Robert’s first attendance at a formal dinner, and it was reported by all present that he acted like a gentleman. The chapel has not looked prettier during the entire year that it did on Sunday evening. The beautiful wild flowers were gathered and placed by Wm. Mar- kistrum, Wm. Johnson and Jacob Atkins. Peter Rass- mussen prepared the stage and assembly room to re ceive the flowers. It will be noted that all of these boys are Sophomores. Mr. Kirk motored to Roseburg, Southern Oregon, a few days ago for the purpose of inspecting and shipping a large consignment of berry plants to various sections of the country for the government. Mrs. Kirk accompanied Mr. Kirk on the trip in order that she might have a brief visit with her father who is at present in Roseburg. Last Sunday was “Palm” Sunday. It was also locally recognized as “Blossom Day.” Under either title the day made good—it was simply ideal and thou sands of auto loads of people were abroad in the land, driving here and there and viewing orchards and fields with their wonderful display of blossoms and vivid greens. Nature is lavish in the Willamette Valley and those who live here are more fortunate than they real ize—often. Raymond Haldane sang at the officers’ U. S. A. banquet on Wednesday evening at the Grey-Belle in Salem. Mrs. Turney played the accompaniments. Raymond responded to two encores. He sang well and was complimented very highly by the officers and their wives. Raymond has a good voice and sings with understanding and expression. Mrs. Turney certainly deserves much praise for Raymond’s accom plishments. We are pleased to report that we are in receipt of intelligence to the effect that Supt. and Mrs. Hall are now nicely located in their new home in Los Angeles and all is moving splendidly for them. Mrs. Hall is already actively engaged in her new work and is de lighted with her field and prospects. We have more than a suspicion that Supt. Hall is now driving a Hudson Coach—not so bad, we declare. Good luck to both of them.
