The movie “Annapolis,” was greatly enjoyed by our students last Saturday evening. Supt. L. D. Arnold, of Klamath Agency, Southern Oregon, made a brief visit at Chemawa last Wednes day. Beds in McBride Hall are being repaired and the painting details of Mr. Sanders are putting the finish ing touches on many of them. The carpenters have for a long time neglected de mands in their own shop, but they are now putting in a new floor in the shop, and fixing class and bench rooms. Mr. Silas R. Moon, one of our most worthy students of the long ago,” was a Chemawa visitor during the past week, being the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Larsen. Martin Colby, one of our old-time students, passed the week-end at Chemawa. He now fills a good paying position near Astoria, Oregon, and in every sense is “getting there.” Supt. Lipps arrived home last Monday after an ab sence of a week in Idaho and other points on govern ment business. He reports having had a good trip. He saw the Haskell football team in action at Pocatello. There is going to be some as we have just learned that of kitchen boys have started teen 50-gallon barrels of it. of saurkraut! saurkriut here we fancy, Mr. Boyes and his detail on the task of making fif Think of it—750 gallons Miss French and her detail of domestic science’girls prepared a dinner for the Linfield College Reserves’ football team after the game here last Friday afternoon. The dinner was all that it should have been and the young men were strong in their enjoyment of it, and their thanks for it as well. Mr. Sanders, head of our painting department and noted as a fisherman, has lost none of his cunning with a line as is attested by a number of grateful friends who shared some fine fish that he caught re cently over in the Siletz country. We hope that he has another “try-out” soon. The Reliance meeting held last Friday evening was attended by a number of old members and vis itors. The roll was called and the reading of the minutes opened the meeting. Herman Goudy was elected reporter and Dowd Franklin was elected captain for the Society’s football team. A fee of 15 cents will be asked to assist in the initiation of new members and the annual dues are set at $1.00. A most interesting program of a musical and literary character followed the business hour. AMERICAN Mr. and Mrs. Sherman are enjoying a visit from Mr. Sherman’s sister, Miss May Sherman, of Helena, Mont. A recent letter from Emma Escholt to the Y. W. C. A. girls states that she is working this winter in the hospital at Kotzebue, Alaska, and is enjoying her work very much. She recalls with pleasure her school days at Chemawa. At an hour too late for an extended account we received a report of a most praise-worthy demonstra tion given last week by Miss French and her domestic science girls. It was evidence of fine work all around and was high-class. The Y. W. C. A. girls observed the week of “Pray er and World Fellowship” last week by short noon day meetings with an average of 20 girls each day. The topic for discussion was, “Widening Horizons.” The meetings proved to be of interest. Quite a number of our employes attended the Oregon Umversity-Oregon State football game in Corvallis last Saturday. It was a most inclement day (especially for the University) but all agree that they were well repaid lor any discomfort that they suffered. The Y. M. C. A. enjoyed a talk on Sunday evening from Assistant Superintendent James T. Ryan. He took as the basis of his remarks the Y. M. C. A. mot to, “A strong mind in a strong body,” and gave a most practical talk on how a good mind, personality, and character might be developed. The many friends of Mrs. Brewer throughout the entire Territory of Alaska will note with regiet that she has retired from active service in Chemawa, but they too will join with her Chemawa friends in wish ing her many, many years of peace and comfort in her home in Tacoma.—T he A laskan , Petersburg, Alas ka. Rev. Walter L. Meyers, Dean of the Eugene Bible University, Eugene, Oregon, conducted the Protestant church service on last Sunday morning. The theme of his address was, “The Measure of Life.” His pre sentation of this subject was most interesting and well adapted to the group of young people who were his listeners. Nearly forty Seminarians from the Mount Angel College sang the High Mass at the Catholic Chapel Sunday. This was a very beautiful service and was greatly appreciated by our students and visitors. Of particular interest to Chemawa is the fact that this choir is directed by George Barrett, one of our former students. In the absence of Supt. Lipps last Sunday evening our chapel execises were conducted by Assistant Super intendent Ryan. The usual order of exercises was fol lowed. Mr. Ryan had enlisted Miss Wentzel as speak er of the evening and after a few interesting remarks on his part relative to new modes of travel and of liv ing, with varied possibilities, he introduced Miss Went zel. It was evident from her first words that she went to Europe last summer with her eyes open, for her trip was the subject of her talk. She gave what can be termed a most interesting and valuable talk from an educational standpoint—it was splendid. During the evening Raymond Haldane sang a couple of num bers, the choir contributed a pleasing hymn and the orchestra played a selection.
