One day last week the basketball girls and Mrs. Downie, their coach, enjoyed a hike to the woods and a picnic lunch. After the luncheon hour they en joyed themselves immensely playing baseball in the clearing. This was followed with a marshmallow roast, and a recounting of the seasons’ events and a singing bee. Just before starting their homeward journey they all stood with joined hands around the fire and pledged themselves to a bigger and fuller program next year. It proved to be a memorable event in every way. The party of the Winona Literary Society last Saturday evening was held in the gymnasium and was one of the high lights of Chemawa’s “social season.” The big gym was beautifully decorated for the occa sion and the society members had spared no pains to have everything so arranged that only joy and satisfac tion would register with their guests. The orchestra was on hand to add to the enjoyment of all. At the proper hour most dainty and delicious refreshments were served, after which all repaired to quarters. The young ladies of the Winona Society and their advisor, Mrs. Herlits, who were hostesses on this occasion, certainly merit all the nice things said of their party. Early on St. Patrick’s morn our band was abroad and serenading us. It was a most enjoyable ex perience for us, but there was a reason—it was the band’s 35th birthday anniversary. Mr. H A. Kun kel, our bandmaster, and the boys of the organization decided some time back to commemorate the occasion with a banquet. This idea was carried out and the boys and their guests were served in the domestic science rooms, and thanks are due Miss French and her young lady assistants for the fine banquet and service. Mr. Kunkel was toastmaster and at the prop er time he introduced the speakers who offered ¿oasts in the following order: Supt. Lipps Mr. LaVatta, Mr. Henderson, Mr. Larsen, Mr. Shepard, Mr. Bent, Victor Smith, Alex Gouley and Joe Matte. In addi tion to those above-mentioned R ivmond Haldane and Charles DePoe, former members of the organization, were guests of the band on this occasion. Last Friday evening the entire body of Chemawa employes, on call of Principal Mote, assembled for a meeting at the domestic science building. Mr. Mote was chairman of the meeting and after a nice talk he introducd Mr. G. P. La Vatta, who represents the government mi matters of importance and who was tire guest of the school. Mr. La Vatta made an impressive talk in which he did not mince matters and he «.m« given a good “hand" on the conclusion of his talk. Supt. Lipps was next called upon by Mr. Mote and in his talk he again demonstated not only his splendid speak ing ability but complete mastery of the Indian ques tion. He, too, was given fine attention and his remarks were endorsed by all. A social hour followed in which games and conversation played a prominent part. Mrs. Kirk and Miss French and a committee of assistants served refreshments and thus the hour for retirement arrived. It was a good meeting.
