Mr. and Mrs. Downie attended theO. S. C.-Goznaga football game at Corvallis last Saturday night. Miss Josephine Sommers from Nome, Alaska, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Mason over the week-end. The Y. W. C. A. has chosen Christine Muller for president; Verna Starr, vice-president; Agnes Scott, secretary, and Aleta Goodbird as treasurer. Chemawa was pleased to have Mr. Robert H. Knox as a guest last Friday. Mr. Knox is an ex-Indian service man and is located in Gresham, Oregon. Thomas Yallop, a former Chemawa student, was a visitor at the school last week. As Chief of the Yakimas he is a most prominent man in his section. Quite a large group of our younger faculty members visited the State Fair last Wednesday evening and the unanimous verdict was that they had a splendid and profitable time. The girls of Winona Hall desire us to voice their appreciation of apples brought them from the orchard by boys who volunteered for the task. We think it was a “labor of love” for many of the boys. Mr. Carl M. Moore, educational supervisor for this district, dropped in upon us last Monday morning to pay us an official visit. We are, one and all, always glad to meet Mr. Moore and bid him welcome here. The home economics teachers had their first meet ing of the year last week. Those in attendance were, Miss Black, MissNye, Mrs. Brickell, Mrs. James, Mrs. Steward and Mrs. Kirk. Miss French was the host ess and she served the ladies with refreshments. Early last week Mr. John Galbraith of Browning, Montana, arrived at Chemawa and enrolled three sons and a daughter at our school. Mr. Galbraith has been known for years as one of the leading stockmen of his section. His large stock ranch lies on about the high est peak of the United States. It is located on the divide of the Rockies, and from it water flows to the Mississippi river on the east and to the Columbia on the west. We were certainly glad to have Mr. Galbraith as a guest at our school. He is a man of wide acquaintance and of sterling reputation. The carpenter boys are putting a new’ roof on the “Wigwam.” Mr. Mason, who has the work in charge, expresses the hope that Mrs. Steward and Miss Nye will not be drowned out the coming w’inter as has been threatened at this place in past winters. Miss Vivian Larsen entertained some of her New port, Oregon, girl friends at the State Fair last week. One of her young lady guests is one of the outstand ing members of the Newport 4-H Club, hence, many of the Club attractions of the Fair w ere of great inter est to her. The Pioneer Club has sprung into life again at Chemawa, being recently reorganized with a beginning membership of fifteen. Leslie Evans is president. A football team has been organized and it is hoped that they can arrange games w’ith teams of the Salem school in their class. They are starting a “puppet” to be based on well-knowm historical characters of generations ago. We regret, formore reasons than one, that w?e were misinformed regarding a local in our last issue wherein a statement was made in reference to the splendid w’ork of Cecile Pepion. We have later been infoimed that while she is doing good w’ork and getting along nicely at the Good Samaritan Hospital, Portland, that she did not pass so splendidly an examination purported to have been given. Supt. Lipps gave a most interesting talk to the students during our chapel exercises last Sunday even ing. Above all he stressed the necessity of punctually, of sanitation, of industry and frugality if they are to to prove successes later on, w’hen they are endeavoring to place themselves in the great “outside” world with its driving competition. In addition to the fine ad dress of Mr. Lipps the choir sang a pleasing number and a quartet of boys, Joe White, Victor Smith, Peter McClusky and Janies Scott, sang a couple of numbers most acceptibly. The orchestra also played a couple of selections. A group of older young people conducted the entire service at the Protestant chapel on Sunday morning, with Fred Sandberg presiding and Joe White directing the singing. The subjects presented were those rec ommended for the consideration of all young people by the International Youth Conference held in Toronto, Canada, last summer. Christine Muller spoke on “Our Duty in Worship,” Victor Smith on “Our Duty for Christian Conduct,” Eleanor Sanderson presented “Our duty toward other young people in the world,” Mylie Lawyer spoke on “Christian Unity, ” and Frank Johnson on “Our Duty for a Christian Society.” A beautiful musical selection by the boys’ quartet and a Bible Reading by Agnes Scott completed the program.
