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.
