About The Chemawa American (Chemawa, Or.) 19??-current | View Entire Issue (Oct. 6, 1926)
THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL Miss Gunn was a Portland visitor on Sunday. Everybody is “hats off” to Mrs. Brewer and her McBride Hall girls for their 100 percent grade on Fair Day. Eli Karabelnikoff has returned from the “far north” to continue his studies here. Many friends are pleased to see him return. Our football team has certainly made a good start this season. If they continue as they’ve commenced they will be far from defeated this year. Allan Shepard made his debut as clarinetist of the orchestra during chapel last Sunday evening. He ac quitted himself creditably and proved of value in our organization. Mr. Vesper, who has been engineer at Chemawa three years, has accepted a transfer to a like position at Haskell Institute. The best wishes of Chemawa go with Mr. Vesper. Mrs. Bessie Bruechert went on duty October 1st as small boys’ matron. Mrs. Bruechert comes to Che mawa from Jennings, Oregon, and is new to the service. Mrs. James has filled this position for the past two years. She will assist at Winona Hall. Our chapel program last Sunday evening was most pleasing in every way. Supt. McGregor outlined a plan for future chapel exercises which will prove an innovation at Chemawa and which, we believe, will prove of great interest. We will give full details later. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McCully of Portland visited Chemawa last Saturday for a few hours. Mr. Mc Cully is a former Chemawa graduate and he is one who is also making good with a plus. He has em ployment on one of the United States dredges and gets a good salary which he is saving. We were truly glad to see this goodly couple. The teacher’s cottage is somewhat musical, Miss Gunn and Miss Earlougher have radios. Miss Caryl has a phonograph. Miss Thornhill has a ukelele and sings to her own accompaniments. There was a piano delivered to Mr. Stacy’s room on Saturday. Mr. Fisher, Mr. Huskey and Miss David will have to buy something in “self-defense. ” The orchestra played at the State Fair on four after noons last week and more than made good. It seems that, from what people tell us, they look forward to hearing the orchestra at the Fair from year to year. Our orchestra seems to have made a place for itself at the Fair grounds. This year our boys’ octette sang during the orchestral programs instead of the girls, as had been the plan in former years. The members of the girls’ octette failed to return to school in season for this engagement. The boys all acquitted themselves nicely. Raymond Haldane and Joseph Kahklen con tributed vocal solo.-. PAGE 3 Mayor Walker, of New York told the new cham pion, Gene Tunney, when he returned to New York that “those who know your character and the citizen ship you represent, and the high principles you learned at your mother’s knee, not only look upon you as the champion boxer of the world, but as a cham pion model American young man.” Extensive road work is in progress on the stretch between our school directly east to Pacific highway, probably a little more than half a mile. We are told that it is intended to pave the road all the way from the highway west to the Kayser schoolhouse. This will certainly be a fine thing and will please everyone at Chemawa, as wrell as many others. Chemawa had “the finest ever” exhibit at the State Fair this year. It was a credit to our school and all who participated >in it and we have no doubt but Supt. McGregor was pleased. On the day that our student body and faculty attended the Fair everything moved off nicely; in fact, Supt. McGregor was well satisfied with the splendid conduct of all the students. They were a credit to themselves and their school. Frank Johnson, for many years a student at Che mawa, and later a medical student at the University of Oregon, came down from his home in Alaska last week and paid us a visit. He has arranged to con tinue his medical studies at the university. Frank ranks as one of the most worthy young men who ever graduated from Chemawa and we hope that he may be able to continue his medical studies until his graduation from the medical college. Sunday afternoon the Freshmen were defeated by the Sophomores by a score of 27-0. Francis Ross and the Meachem Brothers were the stars for the Sopho mores, while Fagerstrom and Oliver both played a good game. Edward Walker and Allie Smith put over several plays for the Freshmen and were “heros” on the sidelines with the fans. This was the first class game of the season and the interest manifested by the students was keen. Hurrah for the Sophomores! With Reggie DePoe, Jacob Atkins and Raymond Jones as guests, the Kappa Alpha Boys “did” Salem on Saturday. First they were the guests of Mr. “Bob” Bordman at the Y. M. C. A. plunge. For some two hours the “piscatorial pleasures” were en joyed, after which the pool tables, tennis, gymnasium, piano, graphophone, and reading rooms received due attention. At five o’clock they departed for the “Black Cat,” where they had lunch. During lunch football returns were received. About one-half hour of window shopping was enjoyed before they entered the Elsinore Theater to see Thomas Mieghan in “Tin Gods,” after which they went to the Greybell and had “Chemawa” sundaes. They then started for home, singing.
