. A letter , recently received by Supt. Eippsfrom
Miss Vera Korter conveys the information that the
writer is in the -Indian service at the Mekusukey
Academy in Oklahoma in the capacity of boys’ matron.
Miss Korter reports that she is getting along nicely.
She was a member of our graduating class of last
year.
: In a recent issue qf the Seattle Times there appeared
a dispatch from Mount Vernon, Wash., that should
be a source of pride and • inspiration for our Itìdihn
students. Read this: ’ Nellie Joe, a fourteen-year-old
Jnciiam .girl, ,.isvno\y t,he new couxity gra/Je sc^o9l,sPirU_
ing champion. She won this honor here Saturday
in the finals of the annual contest from a field of twelve
éandidates and as a result will^represent this | county
in the state meet at Olympia*, in June. The new
champion is a student at the EaConner grade school.
A recent issue of The Portland Oregonian contains
thè announcement of the fact that Chester E. McCarty,
for many years connected with, that paper, has entered
into a partnership with the law firm of Eiljequist,
Rauch & Swanton, Portland attorneys. This is well,
but further interest centers in the fact that Mr/ McCar
ty is the husband of one of Chemawa’s most outstand
ing students, who préVi^ìPftF her marriage was Miss
Julia Gromoff. During her student days’ here she
was in every way a source of pride to all of us and it
is most pleasing to note the successes that are coming
to her and her worthy husband.
Verne Wilson arrived home last Friday evening from
a trip to Spokane, Wash., where he had been repre7
senting the Salem High School as a niember of the
violin section of the. great student orchestra assembled
there to give a concert. Verne says that there were
more than 200 performers iti the orchestra and the
program went oyer in fine style.
The frank and able talk given our students by Supt.
Eipps during the chapel hour last Sunday evening
should prove of value to them, and we believe that
such a series of clear, able and straight-forward talks
must in the very nature of things bear fruit. H ow can
it be otherwise? It is often the case that good advice
falls on deaf ears, but equally as often there are some
who listen, and hear, and are benefittedv and so we
befieveif is in ChemaWa circles. ' W ethifik Mr. Eipps
is doing more good than he realizes. In addition to the
able address of our Superintendent Clyde Cooley ren
dered a ’cello solo and the Orchestra and choir each
contributed numbers.
