The CHEM A WA AMERICAN LOCAL Our orchestra will put on a program at the State Tubercular Hospital tomorrow evening. This is one of our orchestra s annual undertakings. Supt. Lipps paid high tribute in a recent talk to our various musical organizations—to their excellence and their value as cultural features of our school. Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Henderson spent the week-end at “Newport by the Sea,” returning late on Sunday evening. They report having a very nice trip. Jesse Morgan and Francis Peterson, two of our graduates, are visiting their alma mater, and find many friends here who are pleased to welcome them. Page 3 Mr. Kunkel, our bandmaster, accompanied by Clyde Cooley and Alex Gouley, made the trip to Portland last Saturday to attend one of the concerts given by the world-famous Belgian Band which is now touring this country. All were delighted and profitted in hearing this great musical organization. Last Thursday evening Mr. H. A. Kunkel took his band boys to Salem to take part in a grand parade of the Modern Woodmen of the World. Our band num bers about thirty-five and they are beginning to cut a figure in the local music map. Mr. Kunkel is just ly proud of the showing our boys are making. On the above occasion Mr. Bent joined the organization and assisted in every way within his power. Dr. H. C. Epley’s minstrels came out from Salem last Saturday evening and gave a most pleasing enter tainment gratis. The Doctor has always been a loyal friend of our school and we appreciate his courtesy and kindness fully and to him and his cast of last Saturday we render sincere thanks. During “the show” some of our local celebrities were thrown into the lime light without regard to any sensitiveness they may have possessed. A good show. Captain C. R. Trowbridge, a special inspector in the Interior Department, paid Chemawa friends a brief visit last Sunday. While here he left with Supt. Lipps a prize to be awarded to the girl of the Junior Class whose department and scholastic attainment during the past year were ranked the highest. This is known as the Trowbridge Prize, and is to be awarded annually—a nice plan on the part of Captain Trow bridge. We were all glad to see him. Word has reached us to the effect that William Johnson, who was a prominent member of our gradu ating class of last year has taken unto himself a wife. William left here last fall to accept a position as discip linarian at Whiterock, Utah, and where he has proved most satisfactory in the service desired and supplied. We are told that William’s bride is the daughter of the laundress at Whiterock. A host of friends at Chemawa and throughout the country will unite with The American in all good wishes for the newly married couple. During chapel services last Sunday Supt. Lipps gave our students a wonderful talk in many ways. He touched upon the matter of the summer vacation and the possibilities tor new experiences, of the value to time and its use for advancement along various lines. He admonished then to profit by experience, to save their earnings, to come back prepared to do better than ever. He cited the fact—all to true—that often students spoil themselves during vacations, so it be hooves them to keep themselves well in hand. For those who return he promised a finer plant and better conditions and opportunities than ever. It was a fine talk. The orchestra played a fine number, the choir sang in good form, and a group of boys sang ‘ ‘ Kentucky Babe.” All in all, a most pleasing chapel. Owing to pressure of events in connection with our commencement there will be no issue of the American next week, but the week following we will tell you all about it. Miss Flora Dexter has just received a lovely Cross fox fur sent her as a present from her father. It is a truly wonderful fur—a lucky young lady, too, and a father who is no piker. Mrs. Dewey Matt, nee Ferol Porter, and her young son, Duane Edward, recently visited at Chemawa, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Mason. Mr. and Mrs. Matt are now residing in Portland. Mrs. Marion Stacy, nee Morgan, and Miss Anna Augusta, arrived a few days ago from their home in Spokane, Wash., to remain until after commencement. The latter was a member of our graduating class of last year. During the past week the distinction of being rated the best companies went strongly to the Ds. Both boyrs’ and girls’ D companies were given the honor of leading the recessional march from chapel last Sun day evening. Miss Gunn motored to Portland last Thursday even ing and had as her companion on this occasion Clyde Cooley our young cellist. Clyde was taken down to hear the Philharmonic Orchestra of Los Angeles. It was in every way a treat for Clyde and a nice courtesy on the part of Miss Gunn. A party consisting of Mrs. Wilson, her son Vern and daughter Marjorie, accompanied by Mrs. Lipps, mo tored to Portland last Thursday evening to hear the program played by Philharmonic Orchestra of Los Angeles, one of the great orchestras of the world, directed on this tour by Alfred Hertz, a very famous conductor. During chapel last Sunday evening Supt. Lipps ad dressed a plea to our students to be most courteous to our guests during the coming commencement period. He stated that in the main our visitors would be relatives of some of our students, and that in all cases they would be our friends. Let us unite in showing our guests the utmost courtesy.
