THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN < This is Sophomore Boys* Issue & LOCAL Victor Nomee is the new officer in the Small Boys’ Home. The wrestling team had their first try-out on Wed nesday evening. The Sophomore class as a whole are doing fine in work and industrial training. Sedan Thomas, a former classmate, is attending high school at Stevenson, Washington. Wilson Samson is the only Sophomore in the hos pital. and he is only “ailing,” not sick. Charley Ford, a former member of the class of ’30, is now employed at San Jose, California. Allie Smith, a former classmate who failed to re turn this year, is attending school in Ketchikan, Al aska. ( Ida Audette is now a Sophomore in the Commerce High in Portland. Ida was in the class of ’30 at Chemawa. Hilda Jackson, a Sophomore who left from here recently, is now attending high school in Moclips, Wash. We have in our Sophomore class two varsity basket ball players. They are Eldred George and James Spencer. Alfred Bernard, a former student at Chemawa, is now employed in constructing a large garage in Ta holah, Wash. Leo Cottonware, our classmate who left Chemawa early in the year, is not attending school, but working to help his folks. Joseph Alexander, through his good showing in the basketball games during the Holidays, is now on the basketball squad. The Sophies have won the Holiday sports contests for four successive years, being again victorious in class championship sports last week. Capt. and Mrs. Earle Hunter of Alaska were week end guests of Mr. and Mrs. Kirk. Capt. Hunter is connected with the Alaska Bureau of Fisheries. Robert Perkins, our Totem Pole specialist, has sent out a large number of totem poles to different parts of the country, most of them being sent to Seattle. A five-mile race will be held on Washington’s Birthday. Each class will makes three entries. Mr. Bent is the instigator and manager of this event. Ernest Sanderson has turned in some excellent work under Mr. Bewley’s instruction and is considered one of the best and most efficient workers in the machine shop. PAGE 3 Charley Fagerstrom accompanied his sister Anna to Portland Sunday. Anna was visiting her brother, and sister Margaret, and is now employed at Lake view, Washington. Robert Peratrovirh spoke to the Sophomore Class during his recent visit to Chemawa. He is now a student at the University of Washington. His talk was an inspiration to all of us. *• Miss Judd talked to the Wednesday assemblies. She talked to the morning division on “God’s Sign boards” and in the afternoon, she followed the popular “ask me another’' idea and gave some very interesting questions and answers. The Hospital Staff and all the in-patients and out patients and im-patients have been made very happy by the installation of the school radio in the hospital by Mr. Klein and some of the boys. It is surely a great joy and much appreciated by us all. Come over and “listen in” some afternoon or early evening. The Sophomore boys’ class are preparing a booklet on Benjamin Franklin to send to Miss Unita Lipps. The Sophomore boys are studying Franklin’s Auto biography and Miss Lipps teaches it. Myron Ander son was in Miss Lipps’ English class in Browning and is the prime mover in making the book to send to his home town high school. During chapel last Sunday evening Supt. Lipps spoke most impressively and inspiringly of Lpdian achievements and possibilities. We doubt if afiy per son in the Indian Service is better informed on the history of the race than is Supt. Lipps and he is amply able to express himself. In addition to the talk of the Superintendent the Octet Girls sang “Lassie o’ Mine” by Walt, the choir contributed a pleasing number, as did the orchestra. The Reliance Literary Society under the direction of Mr. Merritt S. Fisher, advisor, gave their annual open session last Friday. Coming so soon after the holidays the program had to be, to a certain extent, impromptu, but every one will agree that the boys did very well. The Reliance “Star” made its annual ap pearance, instrumental and vocal numbers were pre sented, orations and a couple of playlets were given, but the grand climax of the evening came with the “Execution of Hickman.” Absolute lack of space forbids a more extensive account of the program. Yesterday Chemawa said ‘ Good-bye, good luck, and God bless you” to Mrs. Georgiana Woods. Mrs. Woods was employed at Chemawa for twenty-four years. By her sunny disposition and kind spirit Mrs. Woods made and held friends with all with whom she was associated. Mrs. Woods retires from Chemawa and her departure marks the close of a long and faithful service to the Indian. Not only Chemawa, but a host of friends scattered throughout the entire Indian Ser vice, will rejoice that she can yet enjoy life to its full est measure, living with her daughter in San Francisco, and that this blessing is granted her by the government she served cheerfully and efficiently for so long a period.
