LOCAL
Mr. and Mrs. Mason motored to Corvallis to witness
the football game between Oregon State College and
Idaho.
Misses Cecile Smith and Edna Crofoot, both of Port­
land, and graduates of Chemawa, were visitors at the
school last Sunday.
Friday will be all Saints Day, hence Halloween is
tomorrow night. We are sincere in the hope that there
may be no rowdyism at Chemawa.
Coquelle Thompson was a visitor at the school over
the week-end. He is now attending the Oregon State
College and is getting along famously.
There were movies at the school last Saturday even­
ing. “Annapolis” and “Our Gang” were the films
produced and they were good. There was the usual
splendid attendance.
Last Saturday was “girls’ day” for Salem. There
were quite a goodly number of our young ladies in the
capital city. They made the trip in auto buses provid­
ed by the Southern Pacific Company.
When we went to press it was the understanding that
Supt. Lipps was scheduled for an address at the Meth­
odist church in Salem last night and that our orchestra
was to play also. An account of the affair will appear
in our next issue.
Supt. Lipps arrived home in the middle of last week,
having been as far as Fort Hall, Idaho, on business
for the government. He states that conditions at
Klamath Agency, at Warmspring, at Burns, Oregon,
and Fort Hall are normal and that there is nothing of
a startling nature to report.
John Kuhn (Red Cloud), a Cherokee Indian, and in
all probability one of the greatest living sousaphone
players, broadcasted from Chicago last Saturday after­
noon. Reports say that his art is nothing short of
wonderful. The prominence of Mr. Kuhn in muscial
circles should be an inspiration to our boys.
Mr. Grant Teter, our dairyman, experienced some
hard luck last Sunday evening when his auto, a new
Ford, stalled on the Southern Pacific track at the
crossing just south of the school and was demolished
by a train. We understand that Mrs. Teter was ac­
companying her husband at the time. Fortunately
neither were hurt, but it is certainly too bad to lose
the car.
Mr. Sanders, our instructor in painting, returned
home early last week from his annual deer hunt. He
was not fortunate in locating a buck with forked horns
or better, although he saw numerous does and fawns,
hence he returned home minus his usual supply of
venison. However, he brought home some delicious
kippered salmon that he caught and cured himself.
The salmon alone made his trip worth while.
The junior class were guests at the “chamber mu­
sic” concert on Monday evening, and it w’as a pleas­
ure for those playing to be greeted with such splendid
order and evidence of interest. Next Monday the soph­
omore class will be the guests of the evening. However,
attendance is not compulsory. It is a pleasure to note
the interest on the part of employes; among others in
attendance last Monday evening were Supt. and Mrs.
Lipps, Mrs. Brickell, Mrs. Codding, Miss Earlougher
and Miss Peterson.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Mason was the
scene of a birthday dinner last Friday—both Mr. and
Mrs. Mason being honored, as there is but one day
between their birthdays. Mrs. Brewer, mother of Mrs.
Mason, prepared the dinner, which was just splendid.
Relatives and intimate friends made up the party.
Among others who enrolled at Chemawa this fall
were three girls from the Ft. Bidwell school in Cali­
fornia. We have just learned all three were prize
winners at the Modoc county fair of that state this
early fall. All prizes were for needle work of some
description. Una Ochiho took one first and one
second prize, Rose Townsend took three firsts, and
Pearl Diggins secured one first and two second prizes.
We think this most commendable in every sense as it is
a good indication of what these young people will
accomplish in the years to come.
During our chapel exercises last Sunday evening
Supt. Lipps, who was in charge, gave a talk with his
recent trip through Eastern and Southern Oregon and
Southern Idaho as the theme. First he visited the
Klamath country, next the Warmspring Reservation,
and then the little school plant at Burns. Then his
itinerary took him out of Oregon to Fort Hall, Idaho,
where there is a prosperous reservation. The people
and the conditions of the country visited were discussed
in a most instructive manner and it was really very en­
tertaining as well, as Supt. Lipps is gifted in descriptive
powers. It was a splendid talk. The choir gave a
pleasing number and the orchestra contributed a very
fine selection, “The Prince of Pilsen” by Luders.
CHAPEL DEDICATED
Sunday was a red letter day in the history of the
Protestant religious work at Chemawa, when the build­
ing, which ha» been set apart by Superintendent Lipps
for religious services, was formally dedicated ata most
impressive service. Dr. D. A. Thompson of Portland,
Synodical Executive for Oregon, presided at the ser­
vice and conducted the responsive service of dedication.
The sermon by Dr. Norman K. Tully of Salem was
addressed particularly to the young people and was
a masterly challenge to a life of Christian service and
an acceptance of the true values of life. The prayer
of dedication was offered by Dr. Fred C. Taylor, of the
First Methodist church of Salem, who also pronounced
the benediction.
Assisting further in the service were Rev. James
Aiken Smith of Dallas who offered the opening prayer,
and Supt. O. H. Lipps who read the scripture lesson.
The Chemawa Trio, with Mrs. Turney at the piano;
Mr. Kunkel, violin, and Clyde Cooley, ’cello, played
very beautifully as a prelude the Intermezzo from Cava-
leria Rusticana, and as an equally inspiring postlude
a Serenade by Widor. Miss Judd and a chorus of girls
sang a three part anthem by Barnby, ‘ ‘Sweet is Thy
Mercy.”
A large number of guests from Salem, Portland and
Dallas attended the dedication service Sunday after­
noon.
This building was formerly a girls’ dormitory—re­
placed now by the new Winona Hall. The present
chapel is the room which was the play room and study
