Amelia Olin and Viola Dean, who were not in good health were transferred to the sanatorium in Toppenish, Wash., last week. Nancy Louden, class of ’29, is “brushing up” on her studies preparatory to entering college. She is at present in Oakland, California. Miss Olive Diaz, class of ’28, is now in San Fran cisco, California, and is holding a good-paying job with a prominent millinery establishment. Iola Gilham left for her home in White Fish, Mon tana, last Saturday. She was called home on account of a serious accident which befell her mother. Coach Downie and his baseball squad are looking ahead to some real practice pretty soon. They have been improving the diamond to some extent. Miss Elizabeth Shagin, ex-student, visited friends at the school last Friday and Saturday. She now has a good position in Portland and is getting along nicely. The Senior girls provided themselves with lunches and niked into the country toward the river for a pic nic one day last week. They report having enjoyed their little outing very much. Supt. Lipps was the principal speaker at a banquet given at the Marion one day last week by the Zonta Society. No matter what the subject may be, Mr. Lipps always proves an interesting speaker. Miss Lundquist was called to Tacoma, Wash., by the death of her father last Sunday. We do not know the particulars connected with the sad event, but we all extend sincere sympathy to her in her bereavement. Just recently Mr. Bent received a card from Wilson Sampson who is now living at White Swan, Wash. Wilson reported that he recently took unto himself a wife. Mrs. Sampson’s maiden name was Adna Spedis. The American extends congratulations and good wishs. Miss Rosalind E. Cruise arrived at Chemawa a few days ago from Willard, N. Mexico, and will be em ployed here as a member of our academic staff. We trust that she will find Chemawa to be just the spot she is looking for and we are pleased to bid her wel come. Jame McKay and Robert Perkins were dinner guests of Mrs. Herlitslast Thursday at the Employes’ Club. Mr. George P. LaVatta, Shoshone Indian, who is overseer of Indian employment foi the Department of the Interior, is urging employment of young Indian people in the various national parks. It is especially urged that places be made for them during the sum mer seasons. Dr. H. N. Sisco of our school was in Portland last week in attendance at a two-day conference of the Oregon Tuberculosis Association. He was among those who addressed the conference and he dwelt on the results of the health clinic held at Chemawa just before the mid-winter holidays. Some 200 promi nent physicians and health workers of the state were in attendance at this conference. Last Friday evening the Senior Class presented a play, “The whole Town’s Talking,” and it proved a note-worthy effort from beginning to end. The patron age was good and all were immensely pleased with the performance in every particular. Miss White, senior teacher, coached those preparing the play and she and every member of the class should be congrat ulated on the great success they made of it. It was just splendid and left the whole town talking. The troop of Boy Scouts under the command ot Mr. Francisco went on a hiking trip last Saturday. There were about 20 boys on the trip, Hans Jack and Harvey Sharo being the leaders. The boys went to the Keiser school thence south to Salem via the Mute School. When they had arrived at the latter place Mr. Francisco overtook the party and issued lunches to all the boys. The troop then proceeded to the Y. M. C. A. building where they were allowed to swim for an hour or two before starting on the hike for home. From the accounts given by the boys of the party it was really one grand experience. Our chapel exercises of last Sunday evening were most interesting in every respect. Supt. Lipps drew attention to the fact that we have now entered upon the last three months of school for this year—really the hardest three months—and it behooves all of our stu dents to “watch their p’s and q’s” from now on and put up their educational fences where they happen to be down. The speaker gave a most interesting little story of “Acres of Diamonds,” in drawing attention to the fact that we overlook many opportunities for advancement that lie near at hand. The inference was that one makes his opportunities, and this is true. In addition to the address of Mr. Lipps the choir sang a pleasing number and the orchestra contributed a Suite of four movements by Zamecnik.
