A rich man ought to be continually examining how he may spend his money for the advantage of others; at present others are continually plotting how they may beguile him into spending it apparently for his own. 3—M—— >.

Page 3 AN INTERESTING PROGRAM The students from the fourth to the eighth grades enjoyed a delightful Hallowe’en Assembly last Friday morning, presented by the Auditorium classes under the direction of Miss Judd. Georgelina Champlagne presided and called for thef oilowing program num bers: The Origin of Hallowe’en............................................. Oleta Starr Song, “Hallowe’en” ------ Assembly Recitation, “Two Ghosts” - - - - Mae Beaumont Song, “Hallowe’en, O Hallowe’en” - Sixth Grade Girls Story, “Hallowe’en Fires” ... Lena Leighton Recitation, “Best be Quiet” - - - Clara Bremner Recitation, “The Jolly Pumpkin” - - Gertrude Dupree Play, “Tommy Meets his Excuses” - Fifth Grade Pupils Song, “Harvest of the Year” - - - - Assembly Many of those taking part in the program were mak ing their first appearance in public and they showed ex cellent preparation and stage presence. The stage was attractively decorated with autumn leaves, and jack- o’-lanterns cleverly placed by lattice fences. The jack- o’-lanterns were cut by the sixth grade boys and the decorations were arranged by those participating in the program. Striking Hallowe’en posters from the art classes under the direction of Mrs. Walker also added to the mysterious atmosphere. LOCAL Mr. Sanders, our painter and glazier, would cer tainly appreciate some co-operation on the part of the boys to the end that a smaller number of broken win dows panes will be called to his attention. The Reliance Literary Society affected organization for the year at a meeting called last week. Mr. C. D. Rainey is advisor for the society this year. The elec tion of officers resulted as follows: President, James Kelly; vice-president, Dowd Franklin; secretary, Clif ford Case; treasurer, Frank Johnson; sergeant-at-arms, Louis Paraseau, and yell leader, Harold Masten. The McBride Hall Girl Reserves turned their regu lar meeting into a Hallowe’en party. They had deco rated the Y. W. C. A. room with black cats, pump kins, witches and the other appropriate symbols. A spectral-voiced ghost greeted them as they appeared at the door. Fortunes were told by all the approved Hallowe’en methods. Altogether a delightful evening was enjoyed by the girls. Mr. Lobdell, our school libarian, has “started something’’ that is destined to make a noise in Che- mawa circles—something that will be heard from. It is a harmonica band and quite a number of boys are already making a noise “going and coming.” We do not know if girls, too, are eligible foi membership, but hope that they may be. The American will be found in the booster column. Supt. and Mrs. Lipps had the pleasure of entertain ing Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Camp and daughter one even ing last week as they were enroute from Toppenish, Wash., to San Francisco, Calif. Mr. Camp has been the government auditor for this district for many years and be is a most able and likeable gentleman. Just recently he has been temporarily in charge at Toppen ish agency and he now is superintendent at the government warehouse at San Francisco. This means promotion for Mr. Camp and he has a host of friends at Chemawa and elsewhere who will rejoice in the re cognition that he has received.
