The CHEMAWA AMERICAN
LOCAL
With this issue we will close Volume XXX of The
American. Look for the appearance of our paper
when'school opens again next fall.
Mr. John Dexter, after spending the winter here,
is now in Seattle buying goods to take north with
him on the first boat for Golovin, Alaska, where he
lives and where his father’s store is located.
Thanks are due the Senior Class for their fine con-
taibution to the music studio—a lovely and rare paint
ing, a perfect work of art. It will help wonderfully
in producing the “atmostphere” desired in a music
studio,

Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Service of Toledo, Oregon,
were visitors at the school during our recent com-
mencement days^- They are both graduates of Che-
mawa and are a credit to themselves and the school
they represent.
During chapel last Sunday evening Supt. Lipps gave
a wonderful talk to our young people. He emphasized
the fact that because this is vacation time there is no
excuse for being lax in anything. The student, for
his own sake, should continue to strive for his advance
ment, for an attainment of the better things of life,
for the development of an appreciation of good litera
ture, of fine paintings, of beautiful music, for judgment
to select worthy companions. He spoke of the summer
as a time for money making and of the necessity and
wisdom of saving a good part of what is earned. In
addition to Mr. Lipps’ talk the orchestra rendered a
number and the volunteer choir sang an anthem.

At 2:00 P. M. a baseball game was the attraction
for all. The contest was between members of the
alumni and representatives of the various grades of the
school. The alumni were losers in a game that was
really most interesting.
In the evening, following the band concert, gradua
tion of the large class occurred and it, really, was the
event of events. It marked a time long looked for by
our young graduates. The program was in every par
ticular one of unusual excellence. From the outside
to assist on the program we were honored by the pres
ence of Rev. Father Buck of Salem, who gave the in
vocation and benediction, and Dr. Norman F. Cole
man, president of Reed4College, Portland, who made
the address. Both of these able men proved happy
finds for us and we shall never forget them. The
address of Dr. Coleman was in a class of its very own
and was most inspiring for all. It is out of the ques
tion for us to give special mention of all the good
things on the program. Supt. Lipps, who delivered
the diplomas to the class, made some most appropriate
remarks just before engaging in the pleasurable task
of passing out the “sheepskins” as the seniors filed
by and were called by name by Mr. Klein. Thus was
marked the closing event of our great school for 1929.
We shall hope for even greater things next year, even
though we are all happy over the outcome of this
year’s work. Following is the program as it was
given:

At 8 o’clock in the evening the operetta, “The
Captain of Plymouth,” was given for the public and
there was a splendid house, composed of people from
all parts of the country. In every way the little opera
went over in a manner most gratifying to all. The
cast without exception did itself proud. The members
really did their best work on this occasion and were a
great credit to themselves and also to the school.
Praise of their efforts was heard on all sides.
