Frank Thomas, former member of the class of ’27 and of our printing force, was with us for a few days recently. The Sigma Phi Delta girls, also the girls’ basketball team, have recently had their pictures taken for use in the coming school annual.

Mr. and Mrs. Kirk returned on Sunday afternoon from a trip to Roseburg to see Mrs. Kirk’s father who is there and in ill health. “Uncle Ben” Marstellar. who accompanied them on the trip, came back quite ill himself. Too bad all around. On last Wednesday the Sophomores had a real “Sophomore Day” in their school room. The class had been studying newspaper organization and publi cation and had helped with the week’s issue of the Chemawa American. Such material as the paper, cat toons, pictures, etc., was on the bulletin board under their color-, Red and Black. PAGE 4 As vacation approaches the questions of “going” and “do” arise. Jesse Prettyman and many others plan on going to Alaska, while quite a number, in cluding Francis Ross, Frank Mann, Wallace Eagle and Jesse Steed, intend going to the C. M. T. C. Martha and Julia Fratis, Ida Escholt, William Mc Master, Emily Johnson and many others were out-of- town guests at the Nonpariel Social. If their names failed to appear it is because they were not known to the Sophomore class who are responsible for the locals. The various military companies are out early of mornings now, drilling for the competitive events soon to be upon us. This reminds us that commence ment will soon be here, followed by the close of the school year and the beginning of summer vacation. How time flies! Cecile Smith entertained a party of young ladies rep resenting the Clionian Society of Willamette Univer sity at the Wigwam last Friday evening. The event was in every way delightful. Refreshments were served by the domestic science department and Mrs. Turney and her boys’ and girls’ vocal octettes, assisted by readers, provided entertainment. Dr. Townsend, medical supervisor for the Indian service in the district comprised of Oregon, Wash ington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, paid Chemawa an official visit of several days duration since our last issue. The doctor was accompanied here by his wife and a lady friend. The party were all likeable people and will always be welcome at Chemawa. The Hiawawa Club, in charge of Mr. Kline, enter tained the Wednesday Assemblies last week. The program for both morning and afternoon was as follows: Readings, Her First Ball Game, Edna Dean; A Smack in School, Elizabeth Codding; Rivals, Robert Archambeau; Bobby at the Dancing School, Audrey Alverez; History Ten Years Ago, William Johnson; Current Events, Ida Audette; Norma Doug las presided. Quite recently Supt. McGregor secured a profes sional landscape gardener from the Villa Nursery to take charge of the work of planting innumerable rare ornamental shrubs about our campus. The task of assisting the “landscape artist” with the work was assigned to Mr. Ross and Mr. Carrow and a detail of boys. It is sincerely hoped that our students will be careful not to in any way injure the beautiful shrubs just planted. The eighth grade boys had charge of our chapel exercises last Sunday evening. Dewey Matt presided and did well. A young Filipino gentleman who is a student at Willamette University made the address of the evening and proved to be well informed on gov ernmental affairs. The orchestra played a number, Raymond Haldane sang a solo, Carmen Chamberlin gave a recitation, and the choir sang “The Palms” by Faure, as it was Palm Sunday.
