Page 3 1 he CHEMA WA AMERICAN LOCAL Louis Matt and Frank Ambrose are new pupils en rolled this week. Isabel Hewson, Mary and Della Snider arrived at Chemawa last week. Miss Lundquist is the licensed pilot of a new Ford of which she is the sole owner. Hilda Jackson, a former student, returned to school just recently from her home in Tahola, Washington. The farmers have all of their fall seeding of grain finished and are now patiently awaiting a good rain that they may see their crops grow. Mr. Teter has a new Ford sedan. This is to replace the one that he recently had demolished when it was struck by a Southern Pacific train. Little “Bobbie” Downie and Peter Herman Hauser had their tonsils removed last week. Both little fel lows came through the ordeal with their colors high. Mr. Bond, our new chef at the students’ dining room, reports that he is well pleased with the conduct of our young people during meal times, but be thinks that they can do still better—and will. Our Boy Scouts have reorganized with two full troops under direction of Mr. Bent with Mr. Decorah acting as Scout Master lor one of the troops. Daniel Lemery, Victor Smith and Harvey Sharo are acting as assistant Scout Masters and taking training as camp directors’ Dr. Collard, who is at Chemawa temporarily, has been quite busy of late removing infected and unlikely- looking tonsils for our students. This work keeps the entire hospital force occupied practically day and night. Every case has been one of success and much suffering will be avoided in the future. Mr. Kunkel has just received a letter from Grover Yellowbird who while here was a member of our band under direction of Mr. Kunkel. At the time of writ ing Grover was stationed at Fort McDowell, California, enlisted as a bandsman in the United States Army, and was soon to be transferred to the Hawaiian Islands for service. He passed his musical examination at Van couver Barracks, Wash. “Tomorrow” is ever visualized hopefully as the harbinger of many desirable possibilities. Better things are expected to come to pass “tomorrow;” we will do “thus and so” tomorrow. What a world of dreams depend upon “tomorrow!” And often they come true. Well, “Thanksgiving Day” is to be with us again “tomorrow,” and we are thanktul, indeed, to be at Chemawa in good health and carefree, in the enjoyment of far more than is in any way necessary for our health and happiness—and “tomorrow” we hope to vanquish the Salem High School football team. Oh! the possibilities of “Tomorrow.” Mr. Ross, who is in charge of all of our campus work, says that ere long there is going to be a shortage of leaves about the grounds, to the especial satisfaction of his detail of boys. The falling of leaves from our maples during fall and early winter makes an immense amount of work for many hands. It is a trying task. Last Wednesday the flag was at half-mast at Che mawa in honor of the late James W. Good, Secretary of War of the United States. Sad as it may seem, the laws of the universe are fixed and the destiny of man is death, sooner or later, and the Grim Reaper cuts down the old and the young, the high and the low, with absolute impartially. In the death of Secretary Good the nation has sustained a distinct loss. We are pleased to report a visit from Messrs. Jerry Brunoe and Harry Miller of Warmspring, Or. Both were students here at Chemawa away back in the ’80s and both are prominent and progressive citizens of their community. They had taken a carload of cattle to Portland markets and took advantage of the oppor tunity to visit their old school. Ernest Brunoe, now an employe at Chemawa, is a son of the above men tioned Mr. Brunoe, and he is a credit to his father. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day and our students will be served a splendid dinner at noon. The various employes, folloving a local custom of many years’ standing, will serve for the students and the orchestra will provide music. In the afternoon the big Salem High-Chemawa football game in Salem will claim the major part of our population—probably. In the even ing there will be a 10-reel “pay movie”—Noah’s Ark. It looks like we are all going to have something for which to be thankful. Excepting for valuable knowledge acquired regard ing the exact health conditions of our student body the recent health survey at Chemawa is but a mem ory—it is strange how quickly important affairs pass from mind! However, as matters now stand our school authorities possess data of the greatest value regarding the health of our students. We cannot ex pect anything in the way of health percentages, or averages, yet, for it will take many weeks to pass on what the individual charts reveal, but we know that all is well and we will be enabled to make health con - ditions still better as the result of the survey.
