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.

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.
