THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL Today is Fair Day for all Chemawa. The freshmen girls so far have the largest enroll ment, closely followed by the freshmen boys. On Sunday Mr. Fisher, Miss Houk and Mr. Hauser took campus friends to view the ruins of Mt. Angel College, that was recently destroyed by fire. Mr. Richard Riley, a well-known bandsman of Sa lem, is now bandmaster at Chemawa. We all wish Mr. Riley unprecedented success with the band. Mr. Chas. E. Larsen, who is in charge at the Siletz Indian Agency, was at Chemawa on business for a few hours last week. He reports all O. K. at Siletz. Mrs. Harry Wilder, employed at the Colville Agency, enroute to her home in Kingman, Arizona, stoppedon Thursday to see her brothers, Francis and Dennis Knauff. Mrs. Leavenworth, who has been Chemawa’s sub stitute teacher for so long that she really seems like a “regular,” is now in room 6 of the school building, teaching. Supervisor Bradley has a large force of workmen en gaged in the construction of our new dining hall for the students. Concrete foundation work is the engros sing project at present. Supt. Mortsoff of Warmspring spent Monday night at Chemawa. Mr. Mortsoff knows many of the boys and girls at Chemawa and it .vas a pleasure to see him meeting the ones he knew. It is reported that Marlieta Davis and Charles George, well known at Chemawa, were married during the summer. It is also reported that Violet Mahone is married to Mr. Archer Williams. Mrs. M. M. Smith, who has held several positions and at various places in the service, is temporary ma tron in Hawley Hall. Her daughter, Rose, is in the Junior class and her son, Robert, is in the Senior class. On Wednesday of last week Mr. Fisher and Mrs. Iliff spoke to the school assemblies. Both gave inter esting and helpful talks to the students. Clifford Mc Leod and Mabel Bremner asked questions in current events. During chapel on Sunday evening Supt. McGregor made a fine talk to the students on the subject of good conduct—right living. The orchestra played the “ Andalusian Serenade’ ’ by Bonnet, Raymond Haldane sang “The Ocean Sings to You” by Solman, a quin tet of girls sang “Lassie o’ Mine” by Walt, Bernice Blakeslee gave a recitation, and the choir sang “On ward Into Light” by Donizetti-Wilson. A good chapel. PAGE 3 The employes and children are exceedingly sorry to learn of Mrs. Wood’s illness in San Francisco, and sincerely hope she will speedily recover and be with us. Her cheerful presence is missed as much as her good services. Mrs. Sargent, sister of Mrs. Parks, is now tempor arily employed as assistant matron in Winona Hall. The Winona girls are fortunate in having Mrs. Sargent with them and it is certainly nice that Mrs. Parks can have have her sister with her. It was the pleasure of the writer to see Mr. Wads worth and Mr. Hall, former superintendents at Che mawa, and Miss McDowell, Miss Connelly and Mrs. Risser, former Chemawa teachers, in Los Angeles this summer. They were all interested in Chemawa and were eager to learn of its welfare. A “pep” rally was held in the school auditorium on Friday evening in preparation for the opening game of the football season which was played on Sat urday afternoon with the Commerce High School of Portland. Mabel Bremner was chosen as song leader for the girls and Harry Frost as yell leader for the boys. On Tuesday evening, September 21, the Senior Class held their first meeting in room seven of the school building. Mr. McGregor and Mr. Carroll gave helpful and inspiring talks to the class.

Alfred Colgrove and two younger brothers arrived at Chemawa on Friday afternoon, accompanied by their parents. Mr. Colgrove was once a pupil at Che mawa, and aside from having three sons here as a present interest had a past memory that he doubly en joyed in his short stay. Mr. and Mrs. Colgrove de parted for Klamath on Sunday. Alfred is the latest arrival in the Senior Class. “C. F. McDaniels, jr., is the name of the young man who arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. McDan iels today. Junior is delighted with Haskell and he has decided to make his home here for some time. ’ ’ Mr. McDaniels, jr., was born July 6, last. The proud father was at one time a student at Chemawa and a a member of our printing force. Congratulations all around. The above reprint is from the Indian Leader of Haskell Institute, where the young father is em ployed. Mr. Edwin L. Chalcraft, for more than forty years an Indian Service official, but now retired, visited Che mawa last week. His many friends here were delight ed to see him. He had business in Salem and Albany which occasioned his trip to this section. For a num ber of years Mr. Chalcraft was superintendent at Che mawa and it was pleasing to him to greet Supt. Mc Gregor and talk over school matters with him. Mr. Chalcraft and his family are now living in Seattle. We hope that more business will come up and make it necessary for him to again come among us.
