THE CHEM AW A AMERICAN LOCAL Our orchestra is engaged to put on a program in one of the Silverton churches at an earlydate. The organization is proving quite an attraction ; Mr. H. A. Kunkel, our new bandmaster, being a fine violinist, he has taken the first violili in the orchestra' and Mr. Turney has taken the double bask, in thi's Way adding to the efficiency of our organization. The entertainment put On by Ellison-White people here last Wednesday evening was in every way pleasing. It' was in thè nature of a magiciah’s show, or sleight-of-hand, and it found favorwith our young folk. ’ Mr. and Mrs. Thos.

At present she is teaching in the government school at Browning, Montana, and; we are informed, is doing nicely, too, Mr. Davis is rushing work on the new cottage un der construction near the hospital. The structure already begins to look attractive, and shows th atitw ill prove an attractive feature of our campus. It will be known as ‘‘The Doctor’s Cottage,” we understand. East Friday evening our orchestra and girls’octette, assisted by Cleo Plasteur as a reader, put. on a program at Bethany j some eight or ten miles east of our school. In every way our organizations upheld the standards of “ dear old Chemawa” and every number was well received. Coquelle Thompson was here over the week-end visiting friends. He is,a member of the O. S. C. football team,, fullback, and was in the great gridiron battle staged at Corvallis last Saturday. He will leave tomorrow for New' York with his team, where they will play New York University. This will be a wonderful and valuable experience for Coquelle. PAGE 3 Every fall when our maple and elm trees begin to drop their leaves our campus has a very “ mussy” appearance. The leave-dropping procedure is about over for tips fall, thank goodness, and our lawns begin to show signs of respectability. i • Quite a number of our people; motored to Corvallis last Saturday afternoon to witness the annual football clash, between the State University and O. S. C. teams. On this occasion ¡the University team won in a score of l2 to 0, although O. C. was generally conceded the best chance to win—before, the contest. A recent issue of the Haskell Leader mentions a couple of our graduated, Edna Audette, class of 1927, and Jacob Atkins; 1928.

Our fine new academic building is coming along nicely; so far as construction is concerned. Mr. Mason and his, detail of carpenters, are doing; their, utmost, but care is required in finishing work, and the task is a large one, so patience is necessary. It will be a splendid building when Completed and it will fill real need a at Chemawa and prove a source of pride for all of us. Asst., Snpt- Carroll was in charge of our chapel ex erciseslast Sunday evening and he had arranged to have Rev. P. W. Erickson, a Salem pastor, as the main speaker of the evening'. The speaker had a genial way about him that appealed to our student body; and. he Won them at once. Furthermore he had passed his youthful days in the Indian country and he had many nice things to say of them and his early experiences in; their midst. His talk, too, was most interesting. During the evening the orchestra contributed a number, Eeq Cottonware gave a recitation, a group of girls sang a concerted number and the choir sang an anthem. Our ‘local trio; composed of Mr. Turney, violin, Clyde Cooley, cello, and Mrs; Turney; piano; played a short chamber music program in the music studio on Monday evening. The concert was in line with the wishes of 'Supt. Eipps and Asst. Supt. Carroll who desired that it be made a sort of cultural and edu cational affair. A Haydn trio Opened the program and then a couple of short numbers were rendered and a trio by Mr. Turney closed the evening. The trio is in its infancy and it bids fair to become more and more interesting as time goes on. The senior class members were the guests of the evening, with the addition of a number of our faculty friends also present.
