Supt. Lipps reports that Jacob Atkins and Clifford Meachem are both getting along nicely at the Tacoma Sanatorium, where they are employed. Karl Muller is now our assistant dairyman and Nick Shishkin, who formerly held that position, is now employed as assistant cook in the students’ kitchen. Mrs. Downie, Miss French and Miss Gunn took a three-day course in scout work last week under Miss Ferguson, state official in training of this character. Mr. and Mrs. Ruthyn Turney, and Messrs. H. A. Kunkel and Alex Gouley were a party that spent the week-end in a tour of the coast in the Newport section. Wonderful trip. Anna and Hilda Johnson left last week for their home in Nushagak, Alaska. They had been here constantly for seven years and there is no doubt but they were glad to go home. Mr. Bent, Victor Smith and Lawrence Peet made a trip to Castle Rock, Wash., last Sunday to attend a salmon bake—a dinner—given near there. It proved a fine trip, nice weather, and a splendid dinner. Last Sunday was Mothers’ Day and it was a lovely day, too. Mothers living and those dear souls who had passed on were remembered and honored by all. This is a day that is gaining in popular esteem and observation, and rightly so. The three troops of girl scouts, under Mrs. Downie, Miss French and Miss Gunn, enjoyed an outing sup per in the woods last Friday evening. They had as the guest of honor Miss Ferguson, state scout official. From what we have learned the affair was enjoyed by every-one who was in attendance. Principal and Mrs. Mote and family visited the coast over the week-end. They motored down the Colum bia River to Astoria, where they passed the night, thence to Seaside and on down the coast to Hebo, where they turned east and returned home via Grand Ronde. They report a wonderful trip—not a dull moment. Miss Grace Johnson, one of our graduates, who is now on the teaching staff at Browning, Montana, has written a Chemawa friend that she expects to attend summer school at Aberdeen, S. Dak., beginning early next month. Miss Johnson is making good the pre diction of friends at Chemawa who have known her for many years, we are happy to state. It will not be long now until another school year will have passed into the discard. Some few will have failed to profit from the year’s work, owing to some thing lacking in themselves—it is always so—but the great majority will have benefitted. It is ever true that he who is self-helped is best help. It is impos sible to help those who will not help themselves. Principal Mote assisted by Mr. Lobdell, is ex tremely busy at present preparing questions for the final examinations, which are near at hand now. Mr. Lobdell wishes us to announce that from nowon, until further notice, no more books will be issued from the library, and, further, that he would like to have all books that are out returned to him at once. Mr. Kunkel and his bandboys opened the program at the community concert held in the big armory in Salem last Thursday evening. From what we've learned our band acquitted itself most creditably and added toChemawa’s fame as the home of better things. Transportation to and from the city was provided by Mr. Ivan Martin, prominent Salem attorney, and to him we proffer thanks. Miss Eakin entertained the members of the senior class last Friday evening. Games and various con versational features formed the diversions of the even ing. Delicious refreshments were served and the affair was altogether most enjoyable. In addition to the class honored there were in attendance Supt. and Mrs. Lipps, Principal and Mrs. Mote, Mr. and Mrs. Mason, Mr. and Mrs. Downie, Miss White and Miss Judd. Through the courtesy of Miss M. R. Weightman, government nurse at Metlakatla, Alaska, Supt. Lipps received a copy of the “Memory Book” for 1930 issued by the school at that place. It is a wondertul bit of mimeographed work and is proof that art and a gen eral and instinctive love of the beautiful still lives in the human heart. We esteen it a privilege to have seen the “book” and we feel honored to extend to all who had a part in its making our heartiest commen dation. Our orchestra and boys’ and girls’ octettes gave a concert last Friday evening at the State Tubercular Hospital south of Salem. In addition to the numbers by the above organizations Raymond Haldane appeared in vocal solos and George Gallegos in a recitation. Every number was well presented and proved the class of Chemawa in no uncertain terms. During national music week for several years now it has been Che- mawa’s privilege to do her bit by putting on a program at this hospital and it is always a pleasure to play for the patients at this institution.
