SCHOOL YEAR CLOSES
(Continued from page 2)
At 8:00 o’clock on Thursday evening a class of
thirty-three were awarded diplomas as graduates—
having completed the full high school course. They
are a class of distinction, as they are the first to com
plete this course at Chemawa. When all were assem
bled and in readiness Principal Carroll and the class
marched as a body to the platform and were seated.
Supt. McGregor acted as chairman of the occasion
and Rev. F. C. Taylor, of the First M. E. Church of
Salem, gave the invocation, and later the benediction.
Supt. Lipps, who attended our various commence
ment functions, introduced Dean H. D. Sheldon, of
the University of Oregon, who made the address of
the evening. The gentleman had a message for all
and his remarks were so ably given and so applicable
to the rules of life and a high order of human affairs
that he made a profound impression upon all of us.
We were all delighted to have him with us. At the
proper time Mr. Carroll presented the class to Supt.
McGregor and Supt. Lipps presented the diplomas as
the former read the various class members’ names.
As a whole the exercises were of a high order and
there was not a hitch or a slip anywhere—it was note-
worthy in every way. The program as given follows:

The members of our alumni association hied them
selves to Spong’s Landing on Friday for a picnic.
They traveled by truck and autos. A day of pleasure
and also profit was reported. A goodly portion of
the day was devoted to the revision and adoption of
a constitution and by-laws. There was also a move
ment started to raise a fund by which a worthy grad
uate of each year’s class at Chemawa should be assis
ted to continue educational work in college and $60.00
was pledged as a starter—a splendid move. There
is also to be a special Chemawa Alumni pin designed
and adopted. Altogether it was a picnic of more
than ordinary significance.
On Friday evening the annual Jolly-Up took place,
at which time the various prizes for those who were
outstanding students in some capacity during the
past school year were awarded. Mr. Downie was

On Saturday evening there was a “social” as the
end of a “perfect week.” This marked the close of
our commencement events, and such events!
We
believe that we are conservative in stating that noth
ing in the past, so far as Chemawa is concerned, has
equalled the demonstration of excellence as evinced
by our closing exercises this year. Academically, vo
cationally, our strength has been revealed to the public
and to ourselves. Along the lines of art and culture
we have again placed ourselves in the light. Beyond
doubt Supt. McGregor is justified in a feeling of
pride and satisfaction when he surveys the accom
plishments of his first year at Chemawa. Now’, we
will see what w’e can do next year.
