Our orchestra and members of the girls’ octette provided what was stated to have been a musical pro gram of great excellence at one of the churches in Silverton last P'riday evening. Both organizations were warmly received and every number “went over big.’’ The Hiawawa Club held their regular meeting in room 8 on Wednesday night. A nice program was rendered. A debate was held, Moses George and Alfreda Kipp took the affirmative side and Dorothea Parker and Bill Johnson the negative. The question was, “Whether or not the United States should hold possessions in the Pacific Ocean.” The affirmative won. PAGE 3 A demonstration dinner was given Thursday by two Sophomore girls, Pauline Kamkoff and Emma Sexton. Covers were laid for Supt. McGregor, Mr. and Mrs. Bent, Mr. and Mrs. Carroll, Mrs. Brickell, Miss Strout, Mrs. Eaton and Kiutus Tecumseh. The girls served a delightful dinner. Mr. Raber of Portland, a prominent member of the Oregon Audubon Society, gave a beautiful, in structive and entertaining illustrated talk on birds last Sunday evening. We all vote special thanks to Mr. Raber. On account of the length of the lecture the usual Sunday evening music was not rendered. Timothy Metroken visited his brother Walter and sister Freda here last week. He has worked for the Columbia River Packers Association. He came down to Astoria last September. While he was at Astoria he visited his brother and sister at Chemawa. Re turning to Astoria, he sailed on the U. S. S. Pioneer, U. S. C. S. G. Survey boat, on October 26, 1926, and surveyed along the mouth of the Columbia River. Later he left for Oakland, California, for the rest of the winter. He is now on his way to Alaska, stopping here again to visit his brother and sister. The Nonpareil Society had the honor of giving the initial “housewarming” at Cramton Hall last Satur day evening. The place had been beautifully decor ated and every thought given to the care and pleasure of the large number of guests present. The society president, Grace Peterson, made a short address of welcome at the proper time and was followed in a brief talk by Supt. McGregor, after which theRhoten- Mills orchestra of Salem started a grand march and the spacious dining-room was the scene of mirth and merriment thenceforth for the remainder of the even ing. At the proper moment delicious refreshments were served. All in all, it was a memorable occasion and reflected great credit on the Nonpareil girls and their advisor, Miss White. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Sanders, at 1 o’clock last Saturday, April 2, 1927, Miss Eleanor Houk and Mr. William B. Grant were united in wed lock, Dr. Fred C. Taylor of the First Methodist Church of Salem performing the ceremony. Quite a large circle of friends of the bride attended the wedding and aside from congratulations and good wishes the newly-married couple received many beautiful wed ding gifts. The bride can properly be claimed as a Chemawa girl, as she graduated here, later to take a course in the University of Oregon. During the past year or two she has been a member of our staff of aca demic teachers. The groom is in the real estate busi ness in Okema, Okla., where the young couple are enroute to make their home. Many friends at Che mawa unite in wishing them much happiness during all their days.
