LOCAL
A group of students from one of our neighboring
schools paid us a visit last Thursday and appeared
greatly impressed with all that they saw here favor
ably, too.
Mrs. Steward and Miss French, our domestic science
teachers, were recent visitors in Portland, going down
especially to attend a class demonstration at the Poly
technic high school.
Mr. Teter, our dairyman, has a good proposition
for any boy who desires to get into what is known as
“ club work’ ’ in raising calves. It will pay some of
our boys to see what he has to offer.
The majority of our academic teachers went to Mon
mouth last Saturday morning to attend a teachers’
conference. This was a move sponsored by Princi
pal Mote, and one much appreciated by all of our
teachers.
Miss Edna R. Voss, executive secretary of the di
vision of schools and hospitals of the Presbyterian
Board of National Missions, arrived at Chemawa last
Saturday evening from New York for a short official
visit with Miss Eakin, our local missionary.
Dr. Eaughlin of Willamette University brought his
class out to the school last Friday afternoon and all
were escorted about our campus and through various
departments. It’ was a real pleasure for all of us to
entertain visitors from Willamette. They were most
welcome.
Mrs. Katie Mason got quite badly burned last week
at her post of duty at the laundry. In opening up a
valve steam and hot water struck her feet and scalded
them somewhat. She was taken to the hospital for
treatment and is now around again on duty. Few
things hurt more than a burn.
To observe ‘ ‘Child Health Week, ’ ’ the Fourth Grade
students have been working on a health project, “ Our
Health Rules.’ ’ Everyone is cordially invited to visit
Room 5, Grade Building, during this week to see ex
hibits of health posters and other work which has been
prepared by the fourth graders in the study of this pro
ject.
On the suggestion of Supt. Eipps, Supt. Babcock
of Umatilla Agency offered a junior clerkship to Miss
Evaline Iyall and she left here last week to accept the
position. She was a member of our 1927 graduating
class and since then attended a business college in
Olympia, Wash., near her home, and recently she
has been enrolled at the Capital Business College of
Salem. She should be well qualified for the situation
that she has accepted and it is the earnest hope of all
of her Chemawa friends that she will make good.
We cannot recall a more pleasing event of a social
nature at the school than the Junior Prom staged in
the gym last Saturday evening. The Juniors were
honoring the Seniors and they certainly proved them
selves to the “ manner born.” The gym was beauti
fully decorated and not a single item that in any way
would add to the pleasure of their guests had been
overlooked by the Juniors. There were favors and
prizes for distribution at intervals, and mirth and
good will abounded on all sides.
Fred Sandberg,
manager for the Junior Class, was the leading spirit
of the evening, and we compliment him and the class, as
well as their advisor, Mr. Carl Turner, on the splendid
deportment of the evening. A t the close of the even
ing most delicious refreshments were served.
Truly
it was a fine party,
Saturday, April 26, an invitation was received for the
Friendly Indian Club of our school to attend a pow
wow to be held at Camp Collins at the foothills of the
Cascade Mountains. About 150 boys were there.
Mr. Bent with fourteen boys who are members of the
club made the trip. It was a real trip, real sport
and real eats. Despite the fact that this bunch were
up with the crowing rooster on Saturday morning,
all eyes were wide open taking in everything— even
the sway-backed horse there was seen. Games were
first in order, and in this way all Indians got ac
quainted. Some boy from Portland questioned
whether we were all real Indians— a few freckles and
blue eyes among us gave room for doubt, but we
classed them as “ white Indians.” Our Indians were
the center of attraction. Our ceremonies were held on
the beach along the Sandy river. We were given the
place of honor in the inner circle. Here we gave the
ritual of the Friendly Indians. The boys did them
selves proud and many comments were given as to
their good behavior and the white boys were told they
could profit by what they had seen of our boys’ con
duct.

THE BAN D CONCERT
East Sunday evening the band, under the direction
of Mr. Hermann A. Kunkel, played a most pleasing
concert in our auditorium before the entire student
body. In order to diversify the program some vocal
numbers were added. The entire program was not
only pleasing, but it was in every way creditable, and
proved an instrumental and vocal treat. There is a
noticeable improvement in the work of the band in every
appearance they make and this proves that they are in
earnest in their endeavors. The school is behind Mr.
Kunkel and his bandboys. We give the program of
Sunday evening, as follows:
