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.

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.

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

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.
