Timothy Metroken visited his brother Walter and
sister Freda here last week. He has worked for the

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.
