All four clubs of our Girl Reserves are working hard on a program which they expect to give next Sunday. Nancy Sam and Lucile John left last week for Ft. Bidwell, California, their home, on account of ill health. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Larsen and daughter, Miss Vivian, passed the last week-end in the Siletz country, combining pleasure and business. Miss Cecile Smith and a young lady friend of hers came up from Portland last Sunday and passed the day here as the guest of Miss Peters. The carpenter shop has just received a consignment of 500 feet of fine native alder lumber for furniture making for Winona Hall and Kola Tepee. Rev. James Eakin Smith of Dallas has given a num ber of pre-Easter talks to our Protestant students of Chemawa and has aroused unusual interest here. Mr. Ross and his details have been busy of late in tidying up our lawns and putting out plants, etc., to beautify our landscape during the coming summer. Last Thursday evening there was a meeting of the boys’ industrial teachers. The meeting was called by Assistant Superintendent Mote and it was short and snappy. Four of our boys represented Chemawa at the Older Boys’ Confeience in Salem last Friday and Saturday. They were, Frank Johnson, Fred Sandberg, William Brown and John Frenier. Just recently Misses Eakin and Judd were accom panied to Salem by a party of our git Is to attend a meeting of Girl Reserves in the First Presbyterian church. The girls were, Mylie Lawyer, Eveline Eyall, Flora Harper and Anna Jackson. Mrs. Larsen reports that a few evenings ago some one left water running at the students’ dining hall. She says that a surprise awaited her detail of girls on their arrival early in the morning for duty. Duty there was and plenty of it. Blisters are still in evi dence. AMERICAN Mr. George Wasson and his son, Wilfred, visited Mis. Codding a few days ago. They are from the Coos Bay section and Mr. Wasson is a brother of Mrs. Codding. Mrs. Lipps and her son, Pete, and daughters, Ruth and Helen, motored to Portland last Saturday. They had an ideal day for the trip, and come to think of it, it is truly a fine motor trip to the metropolis. Mr. Paul Carrow took a bus load of our girls to Salem last Thursday evening to see a couple of whales that were on exhibition there. There were fifteen girls in the party and they had a “whale of a time.” Supt. Perkins of the Warmspring reservation in Eastern Oregon brought four boys to Chemawa last week. He was accompanied on the trip by Mr. N. J. Folsom, chief special officer of our service. Miss Elizabeth Codding has written her mother, one of our nurses, that she is doing nicely at the West Chester Nursing school in Pennsylvania; that she is getting along splendidly and is very happy in her work. Coquelle Thompson, now a junior at the Oregon State College, and a member of the college baseball team, visited friends at Chemawa over the week-end. The Willamette-Oregon State game brought him to Salem. The carpenters just recently put in two doors and laid a cement walk connecting their department with the paint shop. This move was necessitated by the affinity of the work of these departments. They are also giving quite a bit of attention to lawns about their shop. Last Monday Georgie Bent reached the age of six years and there was due observance of the event. There was a party attended by Peter Herman Hauser, Robert Sanders, Robert Downie, Dwight Mote, Billie Herlits, Billie Sherman and possibly other young lads who will eventually add to their country’s laurels. The series of ‘ ‘ Chamber Music Concerts’ ’ which have been a feature of our school year came to a close with the program given last Monday evening. From now on until the close of school it will be necessary for our musical people to center their interests on the operetta which is to be a feature of our commencement exer cises. On March 30th there was a joint meeting of the Y. W. and Y. M. Associations in what was known as the “Spring Vesper Service. There were in attendance 110 members. Many good addresses and readings were programed and there was a great deal of special music. The whole affair must have meant a lot of work for Miss Eakin.
