THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL Happy New Year! Have you passed that resolution? Frank Johnson, well known medical student at the University of Oregon, spent Christmas with Chemawa friends. George Berry spent Christmas at the school. He is now holding down a good job in the municipal shops of Portland. Loulin Brewer of Tacoma, Wash., was at Chemawa over New Years visiting relatives. He is the young est son of Mrs. Brewer. Our boys’ octette were among those who were on the program at the Keiser schoolhouse on New Year’s Day. We have a good report of their singing. After the spelling match last week Mrs. Mason en tertained the Winona representatives of the match at her home and Miss White was hostess to the Nonpar eil team. During a few days of the holiday week Raymond Haldane sang at the Elsinore theatre in Salem in support of the “Winning of Barbara Worth.” He acquitted himself with great credit. Carl Edelmann, an old-time student, was a recent visitor at Chemawa. We understand that he is now a resident of the State of Washington—we did not learn the exact location—however, we hear that he is doing nicely. William Winnier of White Swan, Wash., was a visitor of the school during the recent holidays. He is one of our progressive old-time students who has proved a credit to his school. He is now a prosperous ‘ ‘man of affairs.” Mrs. Ruth Denny came down from her home near Tacoma, Wash., during the holidays for a visit with relatives and friends at Chemawa. She was accom panied by her two little girls. Mrs. Denny is a daugh ter of Mrs. Brewer. Albert Hawley, captain-elect of Haskell’s 1927 foot ball team, spent Christmas at Chemawa, visiting his sister, Nellie, and school friends. He is a prepossess ing young man with a good address and a splendid reputation as a student. Mr. and Mrs. Larsen and daughter, Miss Vivian, and Mrs. Larsen’s sister, Miss Loughrey, stopped for a visit with Chemawa friends while enroute to their home at Siletz from the Seattle, Wash., section, where they had spent Christmas with the parents of Mrs. Larsen. About a month ago Mr. Larsen had the mis fortune almost to sever the forefinger of his left hand with an axe while splitting some wood. He is recover ing rapidlv, but when here was still carrying his hand in splints. PAGE 3 Mr. Haas, who for a long time was temporarily in charge of our leather-working department, has been succeeded by Mr. Grant DeCora, who was recently transferred here from Tulalip, Wash. Mr. Haas proved an able workman and left many friends among us when he departed for his Salem home. Mr. DeCora has the best wishes of all of us. Supt. and Mrs. Chas. L. Davis of Whiteriver, Ari zona, spent their Christmas at Chemawa. They are old friends of Supt. and Mrs. McGregor and Capt. Stacy. Chemawa people were happy to welcome this worthy couple to their Christmas festivities and we are assured that our welcome was fully appreciated. Their visit here seemed all too brief. Supt. McGregor addressed the students in chapel last Sunday evening. It may be stated that his dis course was on the value of “Timeand Money,” and in every way was it a sensible talk and full of good suggestions. The orchestra played “Singing While Weeping” by Moreno, a group of girls sang “Hear Thy Lover’s Cry” by Lieurance, Joe Matte gave a recitation and the choir sang “I Love to Tell the Story” by Gabriel. Louis Colby arrived here from Haskell to spend the Christmas holidays with friends. He returned to Haskell on New Year’s Day. Louis had a fine repu tation as a student during the many years he was at Chemawa and he has the same record at Haskell. In short he is a fine young man of whom we expect great things. He is one of the bright stars of Haskell’s great football team. His brother, Martin, met him here and they spent the holidays together. Martin is another of our former students who is making good. Of late he has been employed by a company near Astoria, Ore.
