The “melancholy days” are here and the maple leaves are dropping everywhere. The farmers are waiting on the weather for a favor able time to seed 20 acres of clover. Last Saturday was “Girls’ Town Day,” and many visited the capital for the afternoon. The freshman boys, on the carpenter’s detail, have just finished making six drawing tables for use in the drafting room. The McBride Hall girls are most proud of the new drapes made for their building by the busy workers of the domestic art department. Mr. and Mrs. Boyes went to Corvallis last Friday evening to witness the football game played by our team and the Oregon State College Rooks. Getting our new system of instruction, academic and vocational, started this year has proved a task of considerable magnitude. Patience is necessary. Last week Mr. and Mrs. Jerry McCarthy of Neah Bay, Wash., visited their daughter Hildred, who is enrolled at Chemawa. They are most likeable people. Our water system is at present a source of great anxiety to Supt. Lipps and many others of the large Chemawa family. A deluge will be thankfully re ceived. To what is Oregon coming? Miss French entertained a party of our younger set last Wednesday evening—sixteen altogether. "Bridge ’and “Five Hundred” provided the enter tainment. Dainty refreshments were served. Mr. and Mrs. Reed Austin arrived at the school last week from Madison, Wis. Mr. Austin will have charge of all of our farm activities. Wetrust that they may be pleased with our school and our state. The ninth grade girls in domestic science gave a dinner last Thursday evening, honoring Supervisor Carl M. Moore, who was here on an official visit. Those at the dinner were: Mr. Moore, Supt. and Mrs. Lipps, Asst. Supt. and Mrs. Ryan, Miss Nyeand Miss French. In alLtruthjLmust be stated that our young lady hostesses acquitted themselves most creditably on this occasson. Mr. Boyes, head of the students’ dining hall depart ment, states that he is pleased with all of the new equipment that has been installed in the kitchen and that every labor-saving device is working capitally. Mrs. Peacher wishes to congratulate the details of carpenters and painters who just recently completed the task of rejuvenating the furniture at McBride Hall. Everything was finished in a first-class manner. The Y. W. C. A. girls held a meeting on Sunday. They had a very interesting Voyage Program. Rev. and Mrs. W. L- Van Nuys were visitors and each gave an interesting talk. The Y. W. members hope to have them come again. Frank Archambeau, a senior carpenter, is making a manual training bench for use in the carpenter shop. Mr. Mason, head of the department, hopes to have the shop entirely equipped with these much-needed bench es by the first of the coming year. The home management girls have started house keeping for themselves. The “family” consists of Armenia Plouffe, Thelma Norman, Blanche and Lottie Kipp, and they are domiciled on the second floor of the Wigwam. Supervisor Carl M. Moore, of this district, com pleted his work here last week and left us on Sunday. However, we have learned that he is expected to re turn ere long and make an official visit into the Siletz country. Mr. Moore has made many friends in Che mawa. The Y. M. C. A. meeting last Sunday evening centered around a discussion of good sportsmanship. An excellent code for players and spectators was de veloped. The new Y. M. officers were formally in ducted into office with an impressive installation service. We are informed that Joe White, who is attending Willamette University from Chemawa, is a member of the glee club of that institution. We’ve also been informed the Milton (Pete) Lipps has been selected for the glee. We are pleased to believe that both have been selected for places in this organization. Fine, we think! During our chapel exercises last Sunday evening Supt. Lipps introduced Asst. Supt. Ryan, a recent arrival from Mississippi. Mr. Ryan made a gracious, though brief, talk to the assemblage in which he ex pressed himself as well pleased with our school. He took occasion to address a few serious remarks to our students regarding the matter of selecting a vocation. Supt. Lipps spoke in a rather facetious vein regarding the advantages of modern civilization, which, he said, had its price. In addition to the talks by the above- mentioned gentlemen, the orchestra played the “South ern Miniatures” suite by Zamecnik, Alice Slater sang the “Indian Love Call” by Friml, and the choir con tributed a pleasing number.
