THE CH EM AW A AMERICAN LOCAL Miss Borland has been on the sick list this week. Dr. Steeves of Salem is now the school physician. The physics classes test all the oil now brought to the school. Percy Woodcock spent Christmas with homefolks near Portland. The Winonas will give their annual open session on Friday evening. Mr. Bent and Alfred Bernard made a business trip to Portland recently. Mr. Charles Ell of the class of ’22, now employed near Portland, was a recent visitor. Mr. Kline and the physics classes are working over a radio. The work is very interesting. The students enjoyed a social in the gym last Satur day night. It was in every way a pleasing affair. Martin Audette and Joe Devillen were holiday visi tors. Martin has two sisters here, Edna and Ida. The Pearson and Copeland students of the school spent Christmas with the home folk at Klamath Falls. Emily Johnson, of the class of ’24, was a recent visitor. Emily is now attending school in Portland. The second division enjoyed a good first aid talk on Wednesday by Dr. Fenton of the Red Cross depart ment. Archie Greycloud and Elmer Flowers are the drivers for the school bus which was remodeled in the machine shop. Emanuel Hudson, formerly a student of Mt. Angel College, was a visitor on the campus during the holi days. Mrs. Sargent, who has been matron at Hawley Hall for the past three months, left for her home in Port land a few days ago. Owing to the delightful program given by the Wil lamette University Glee Club, the Literary societies only held short business meetings on Friday evening. On account of the illness of Mrs. Bruechert Mrs. Bent looked after both Mitchell Hall and the Small Boys’ Home until Mrs. Keys of Salem was secured for the place until Mrs. Bruechert is able to go on duty. Six girls, Ida Audette, Zelma Johnson, Carmen Chamberlain, Grace Monson, Natalia Bozeroff and Frances Nicholas conducted the assembly last Wednes day. They recited bed-time stories and sang two songs. It was a very delightful assembly. A letter recently received from Gordon Hobucket, an old-time student of Chemawa, announces that he is now in Phoenix, Arizona, and that he is feeling fine. This is good news for his friends, as of late it has been reported that Gordon was in poor health. PAGE 3 Capt. Jean K. Stacy bade farewell to his bachelor life by entertaining his senior boys on Monday even ing a week ago. Speeches of advice were made by all members of the class. After refreshments the class bade Capt. Stacy “Good-bye, good luck and God bless you.” John Kalarak was one of the most welcome campus visitors recently. He was present at the Senior Class Christmas tree and made a very touching talk. John, had he continued, would have been in this class. The seniors were overjoyed at his return. John is now employed in Seattle. At the time of going to press our orchestra and boys’ octette were billed to appear at Oak Lawn last night. This is something more than 20 miles from Chemawa. Thus it appears that the excellence of Chemawa’s or ganizations is becoming generally known throughout this section of the country. John Dexter, Louis Dupuis and the boys’ octette staged the prologue to “The Canadian” at the Elsi nore Theatre in Salem on Saturday. The boys re flected credit upon themselves and the school. For boys to be able to put on such a prologue as these boys did certainly speaks volumes for the excellent training they have received at Chemawa. Last Friday evening Reno Booth and Tommie Wea ver took a late train for Nevada and Utah. It is thought that Reno will stop at Carson, Nev., while Tommie will find his destination at Pyramid Lake, Utah. They were sent to these places for the better ment of their health and it is not thought that they will be absent from Chemawa for a great length of time. Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Bradley arrived at noon on Monday from Ft. Lapwai, Idaho, where they had been for some time. Mr. Bradley was in charge of some government construction work there. Mr. Bradley will be in charge of the work of constructing our new dining hall for students. To have Mr. and Mrs. Bradley return to Chemawa is just like the return of home folk to we old-timers. This is their third trip to Chemawa. Dr. Vining of Albany College, Albany, Or., was the speaker of the evening at our Sunday evening chapel. The gentleman took “The World of Tomor row” as his subject and handled it in a most able and interesting way. He held the attention of all from beginning to close and we will all be pleaded to have him with us as speaker again some time. The orchestra played “A Spanish Intermezzo” by Frank, Anna Peratrovich, Edna Audette and Raymond Hal dane sang the “Londonderry Air” as arranged by Wilson, Cleo Plasteur gave a recitation and the choir sang “Jehovah Reigns” by Nolte.
