THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL These are sweet apple cider days. Amos Andy has returned to his table, needle and thread and shears in the tailor shop. Teacher No. 10 will be responsible for the appear ance of our chapel next Sunday evening. Workmen are still employed on the pipe-line to carry heat to the cottages in West Chemawa. Our gardener reports that he has quite a large quan tity of vegetables—they will be needed later. Several of our people witnessed the Stanford-O. A. C. game of football in Portland last Saturday. Margaret Maupin, now employed in Portland and a member of the class of ’28, was a week-end visitor. Coquelle Thompson, of the class of ’27, now attend ing O. A. C., spent Saturday and Sunday on the campus. Dr. E. A. Thompson was a recent visitor at Che mawa. His home is in Portland and he is interested in religious work. Charley Moon writes from Rocky Ford, Alberta, Canada, that he is working, but intends to be in school the second semester. The auto mechanics of our school have just put our Chevrolet in commission again. The old car, it seems, took time off without leave. We understand that Harry Frost has returned to his home in Montana and that he expects later to at tend Bacone College in Oklahoma. Nicolai Nelson and Royal Holst recently painted our 100-foot flagpole. “Old Glory” can now feel that proper respect has been shown. The shoe and harness makers are a busy lot. They repair about 40 pairs of shoes a day and they have on hand an order for 50 sets of harness. Carpenters have been busy of late remodelling and enlarging the quarters reserved for our hose carts and fire-fighting apparatus. Good move! Mrs. Kayes, for several months in charge of the small boys’ home, will go off duty the first of Novem ber and Mrs. Culbertson will take charge. The “extra hands” among the boys of the engineer ing and machine shop forces have assisted of late in pipe laying on the west side of the campus. Chemawa is glad to report that Reggie DePoe is almost completely recovered from his injury received in the football game at Tacoma about ten days ago. Mr. T. Ross, our landscape gardener, has been occupied of late at the task of starting a lawn near our new dining hall for students and beautifying the yards generally. PAGE 3 Miss Antoinette White spoke to both Wednesday assemblies on the life of Oregon’s first Governor, John McLaughlin, now called the Father of Oregon. Aaron Isaacs gave a vocal number in a very pleasing way. Both were good assemblies. During the summer Mrs. Mollie Rolf Rogers, the closest living descendent of Pocahontas, passed away at her home in Parkin, Arkansas. Mrs. Rogers had many articles of great interest that by “hear-say” were left to the state of Virginia. Quite a number of people went to Portland last Sat urday to attend the Stanford-O. S. C. game of foot ball. Among those attending were: Supt. Lipps, Geo. W. Bent, Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Mason—quite a number of our boys also made the trip. Have you laid in your stock of pumpkins, witches, black cats and cider for Halloween? The great eve will soon be with us again. Whatever you decide to “pull off” to commemorate the occasion, make cer tain that it is decent. Let decorum be your guide— give it a trial. Mrs. Zilpha Davis, a new appointee of the service, comes to us from Longview, Washington, as head of the domestic science department. Mrs. Davis is origin ally from Illinois and is a graduate of the Universities of Southern Illinois and Wisconsin. Chemawa wel comes the lady. Mr. Grant Teter, our dairyman, has returned from his vacation and is again in charge at the dairy barn. He spent a part of his annual leave on his farm south of Salem. He reports a fine lot of new calves as an addition to Chemawa’s dairy herd. The calves, he says, are eligible for registration. Jerry Copeland, of Klamath, Oregon, was a visitor at Chemawa during the past week, the guest of his brother, John, who is a senior at our school. Jerry is enrolled at the University of Southern California and it is pretty generally surmised that he was on a tour of the Northwest as a scout for the football organiza tion of U. S. C. The carpenters have just completed a woodshed for Mr. A. G. Wilson, chief clerk. They have just about completed the new “practice” cottage for the do mestic science department. The painters are on the building now and as soon as they have finished the carpenters will lay the floors and the building will be ready for occupancy. During chapel last Sunday evening Supt. Lipps made a splendid appeal to those in attendance to put real “art effort” into whatever task they may have on hand. It was truly a splendid talk and one which we believe did not fall on barren soil. In addition to the Superintendent’s talk a sextet of girls sang an espe cially fine number, as did the choir, and the orchestra played a Mozart “Minuet.”
