Page 3 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL Mrs. Stuart, dining-room matron, was a recent Portland visitor. Miss Josephine Sommers was up from Portland as a dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Mason on Christ mas Day. Coquelle Thompson, now attending College in Corvallis, spent the the holiday week with friends at Chemawa. To Mr. Eriske thanks are due because of the fact that he had the light globes ' ‘dipped” to produce certain color effects in the Christmas pageant, and for other assistance as well. Among the old-timers who were here for the holidays was Thomas McCully, now of Portland. Tommie is now married and is getting on nicely. While here he was the special guest of Mr. and ,Mrs. Larsen, as was Silas Moon, also of Portland, and who is a. source of pride to his many friends. Miss Edna Groves, supervisor of home economics} arrived at Chemawa a few days before Christmas on an official visit. After remaining here for a day or two she went to Corvallis, her childhood home, to spend the holidays’ with relatives and friends. She is now back kt Chemawa in her official capacity. There w'ere many family dinners at Chemawa on Christmas Day. All enjoyable in every way. There was a wonderful dinner served at the * ‘Employes Club’ ’ for those who are members of the club. From reports to reach us everybody at Chemawa dined well on Christ mas, even though not wisely in every case. There are many people who cherish the love of what they term a “ white” Christmas. This means snow on the ground. Well, this year it was a trifle late in snowing here—missed the exact date by twenty? four hours. On Wednesday night of last week sever al inches of snow fell at Chemawa. Robert Peratrovich, now a junior in the Universi ty of Washington, motored down from Seatle on Wednesday of last week to visit friends here at his old school during the holiday season. Robert is proving himself to be an able young man in every sense of the word. We all enjoyed his ■visit with us. Among those who visited at Chemawa during the holidays was Walter Eagle. We were glad to see him. H e was a member of our last graduating class and is at present disciplinarian at Warmsprings, Oregon, where he is getting along splendidly. He was ac companied to Chemawa by Mr Thomas Heminger* who is property clerk at Warmspring. Mr. Htminger is a Haskell graduate, a likeable youttg gentleman, and welcome at our school. We trust both of these young men had an enjoyable Visit with us. Among others who visited us during the holidays may be mentioned Coquelle Thompson, Terrance Booth, George Johnson, Joseph Racine, and Miss Iva Dupuis. The Jirst prize for literary work among the students last month went to Fred Sandberg, while the second prize went to Wauseka Hauser. Both of these boys deserve great credit in addition to the prizes they won. One of the memorable events connected with our holiday season that will always be remembered by our Catholic students was a trip to Salem to attend mid night mass. A large truck load of young people made the trip, chaperoned by Miss Roddy. Mr. H. Larsen of Warrenton, Oregon, has been the guest of Chemawa relatives since the beginning of the holidays. He is the father of Mr? Chas. BI Larsen, one of our clerks. Mrs. Emma Schaum, H Westport, Or., a sister of Mr. Chas. E. Larsen, has also been a guest of the Chemawa relatives of late. Ijdiss Idaho Lipps departed last Monday for Coeur d ’Alene, Idaho, where she is to teach in the schools of. that city. This is a splendid opening for Miss Lipps and it is pleasing to us to note the fact. Since the beginning of this school year she had been a member of our orchestra, and a loyal one, too, and we know that the orchestra as a whole will be a unit in hoping for her a success in every way in her new field. Our chapel exercises last Sunday evening were in charge of Supt. Lipps, who made a splendid appeal to our Students to do their utmost during the remainder of the school year and (ever after) to make good at whatever tasks they may engage. “ Keep your nerve and don’t wobble” may properly be termed his topic, and he made good use of it, too. A fine talk. In addition the choir sang a number, Archie Dean gave a reading, the orchestra played a selection from “ Mile Modiste” by Victor Herbert, and Robert Peratrovich, now a junior at the University of Washington, who was present, gave a group of saxophone solos and was warmly received by the student body.
