Floors are being laid in the domestic science “prac tice house” and it will soon be ready for occupancy. The three new officers in the Small Boys’ Home are Lawrence Buzeroff, Charley Morgan and Fred Rickard. Emily Ivanoff has returned from a visit to her home in the Far North and is again active in the routine of the school. Mr. Grant Decora and Mr. Joseph Lambert are try ing out the “bow” in the practice meets of the Archery Club of Salem. The blacksmiths are making a hand-cart for the use of the gardeners in delivering vegetables to the stu dents’ kitchen. Good idea! Misses Grace Peterson and Mabel Bremner, former students, and now employed in Portland, were Che mawa visitors last week-end. Mrs. Leavenworth and Mr. Kunkel brought some beautiful boquets of chrysanthemums from Salem to their Chemawa friends on Sunday. Mr. Fisher is out and around in his car as usual since his accident last week. It was certainly for tunate that the car only was damaged. A day or two we were pleased to learn that “Uucle Ben” Marstellar had arrived from his home in Ohio and will again pass the winter at Chemawa. Supt. Lipps returned on Saturday evening from an official visit to the Warmspring agency. He reports everything to be moving along nicely at the agency. Leo Cotten ware and sister Myrtle left for their home in Washington on Saturday. Leo was a sophomore and Myrtle a freshman. Both students and instruc tors regret their departure. The auditorium stage has been beautifully decorated for the Sunday evening services since the opening of school. Mrs. Reed decorated last Sunday and Miss Earlougher the Sunday before. Charley Fagerstrom, Anna Fagerstrom and John Dexter are recent arrivals. Charley is a Junior, and is now “rah rahing” with his classmates. John will continue his studies at the business college in Salem, and Anna will return to Seattle after a short visit. PAGE 3 The near approach of chilly days and nights has caused considerable activity in plumbing circles. The plumber boys are now busy at the task of repairing radiators in McBride and other dormitories. Ernest Bruno and Ronald Leask, machinist appren tices, are rebuilding a delivery truck for use about the school. When these young men are through one can form some idea of the ultimate utility of a Ford car. Mr. Reuben Sanders of Chemawa participated in a golf tournament last week over at Brunk’s Corners and when the smoke of battle had risen after the fray Mr. Sanders was discovered to have won the second prize—barely missing first honors. Ella Harvard lodged a splinter of a bone in her throat last Saturday noon. Developments were so serious that she was taken to the Salem hospital and her condition was quite alarming for a few hours. Ella is now out of danger, to the great delight of her many friends at Chemawa. Mr. and Mrs. John Young of Seattle. Wash., were most welcome visitors at our school during the past week. They proved to be most interesting and com panionable people and were liked by all of us, and they greatly admired and approved all that they saw of the workings of our great school. The Catholic boys have formed an organization. A name will be chosen at the next meeting. Miss Rod dy is advisor for the boys and the following were elected as officers: Jacob Atkins, president; Moses George, vice-president; secretary-treasurer, Gideon B. Grub; sergeant-at-arms, Percy Roush. Mr. C. J. Lisle of Salem addressed the student body at Chemawa at 9:00 on Armistice Day. Mr. Lisle’s talk was interesting and instructive and Chemawa feels grateful to him for his time and services. Reno Booth sang “Let Us Have Peace” and the audience sang “America, The Beautiful” and the school song at the opening and closing of the services. Mr. Bent, with a company of boys and the band, paraded in Salem on Armistice Day. Mr. De Poe may well feel “chesty” over the way they played, for all along the line it was heard by “Che- mawaites,” “How well that band played and how those boys march!” Royal Holst, Gideon B. Grub and Henry Bowker were officers of the company. Mrs. Ellen Jessup and Mrs. Nancy Clyne were Sunday guests of Mrs. Brickell. They were known as Ellen Beall and Nancy Matthison when they graduated in the class of ’21. Both now live in Port land. Mr. Jessup is employed by the Veterans’ Bu reau. Mr. Clyne is a radio operator on a boat that is now in Shanghai, China. Their many friends were delighted to see them. On Sunday evening during chapel Supt. Lipps gave a most interesting talk in which he covered many points of history relation to Indian education and gave much sound advice to our students. There was also so much of the humorous in his remarks that Mr. Lipps remarked that his address could fittingly be labeled “Protoplasm and Pull.” A group of boys sang a pleasing number, as did the choir, and the orchestra also rendered a number.
