had he continued, would have been in this class.

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.

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

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.

Bradley return to Chemawa is just like the return of
home folk to we old-timers. This is their third trip to
Chemawa.

the speaker of the evening at our Sunday evening
