gave a dinner in honor of Elizabeth Codding prior to
her departure for the training hospital for nurses at

met with an accident at the carpenter shop which will
disable him temporarily but we hope to see him about
again in a few days.
Sally Stahi, a student, left school recently to return
to her home at White Salmon, Wash. Sally has been
in poor health for the past two months. She was ac
companied home by her mother.
In spite of the fact that Mr. Ratzburg kept a fire
going night and day in our “apple house” during the
recent zero weather he has the sad duty of reporting
the loss of a considerable quantity of our vegetables.
However he was able to save all the carrots and on
ions.
Supt. Lipps left last Friday for the Yakima Agency
where he will spend a few days going over school
matters with Supt. Estep. Incidentally he expects to

last season on account of the drought.
Sunday evening chapel was in charge of Assistant-

The Chemawa Alumni Association will welcome
the gift or loan of any old pictures that might be in

newly-enrolled student at Willamette University.
The Chemawa academic teachers were interested
visitors in the Salem schools last week. Arctic condi

considered advisable to spend the day in this man
ner.
Miss L. Grace Holmes of the Oregon Tuberculosis
Association, who was with us during the recent tu
berculosis clinic, is here again working on statistical
studies. She finds that the Indians are making a
strong resistance against tuberculosis, and believes
that the clinic statistics will reveal as much strength in
this respect at Chemawa as in any white community
of the same size.
SENIOR NOTES
Spring is here. Give the grass a chance. Keep
off of it. Help keep the campus looking its best.
The Seniors are busy working on the class play,
which we expected to be the best play ever put on by
the Senior class.
Listen to w’hat the seniors have to say! Save your
money. Senior Play is coming on Feb. 28th. “The
Whole Town’s Talking” is the. name of it. Be ready
to see it with a “friend.”
The engineers worked hard and quite long hours on
the 3rd, 4th and 5th of this month getting the oil run
ning again through the pipe so we could have some
thingwarm to eat and a warm place to study.

Believe it or not
The othet day when the sales
lady from the Kennel-Ellis studio of Salem came out to
take the order for our pictures she was so overcome
by Charles Morgan’s picture that she recommended
that he go to Hollywood. Hurrah for our side!
