The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Page 4 SCHOOL CLOSED AGAIN (Continued from page 1) vitation to the home of Supt. and Mrs. Lipps, where for an hour or two the guests were entertained and served delicious refreshments. It was a period of real pleasure for all and the class were most grateful to host and hostess for the thoughtful courtesies shown them. On Monday afternoon there was a game of baseball between our first team of this year and a team com posed of alumni members. With all respect to our old-timers, the fact remains that the outcome was just too bad—it was one-sided, very, but the game had its thrilling moments. In the evening, early, autos began to arrive with people desiring to attend the operetta, “Pickles.” Of course, this was a repetition of the production and work of Saturday evening, but in this case it was for the general public and admission was charged. There was a fine crowd in attendance and our cast again glorified themselves and their school. Many of our visitors found much to win their approval and their praise and we can in truth say that it was all that we had hoped it would be. It was a proud occasion for many of us. The annual Jolly-Up was held on Tuesday morning in the auditorium, with Mr. Downie in charge, and it proved a live affair.

On Tuesday evening our graduation program was rendered. Ample preparations had been made for the occasion. The stage decorations were the work of Miss White, Mrs. Bent, Miss Gunn and Mr. Fisher, and they were truly beautiful. The progiam as rendered follows: Invocation___________________________ Rev. Father Ildefonse Vocal—Serita {Burton) ___________________________ Girls’ Octet Salutatory---------------------------------------------------- Charles Morgan Cornet Duet—Polka Elena {Kiefer)________________________ _______________________________ Alex Gouley and Arnold McKay Valedictory_____________________________________ Cecile Pepion Overture—Orpheus ( Offenbach ) ___________________ Orchestra Address__________________ State Superintendent C. A. Howard Vocal Solo—Invictus {Huhn) _____________ Raymond Haldane Presentation of Diplomas________ Superintendent O. H. Lipps Benediction___________________________ Rev. Father Ildefonse Supt. Lipps, who was in charge, gave a few intro ductory remarks where they were needed, and in every way the program was a treat. State Superintendent C. A. Howard, who was with us and who delivered the address to the class, certainly won the esteem and ap proval of all by his masterly discourse. It rang true in every way and was replete with good sound sense— just such a talk as we all needed. It was a rare pleasure for Chemawa that he could be on our program on this occasion. He will always be warmly welcomed here at the school. All of our young people who were on the program did splendidly and we were proud of them. At the proper moment Principal Mote presented the class to Supt. Lipps who took pleasure in handing to each graduate his diploma—twenty-three had com pleted the high school course. An incident not on the program was the conferring by the Salem Conservatory of Music, Dr. R. W. Hans Seitz director, in the name of the State of Oregon, the degree of Doctor of Music upon Ruthyn Turney. Supt. Lipps called Mr. Turney to the platform and in a few well-chosen words handed him his degree. Aside from our genuine surprise, our sincere appreciation of it all from beginning to end, doubt regarding our merit and ability, we cannot yet voice more than our thanks to those kindly souls who have thus honored us.
