The CHEM AWA AMERICAN Page 2 CHEMAWA^)AMERICAN Published Weekly at the U. S. Indian School, Chemawa Oregon. <I,Address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager 50 Cts per Annum Subscription LOCAL John Frenier, of the class of ’29, spent a few days with friends here at the school last week. Rachel Ward and Pearl Cultee spent Thanksgiving in Taholah, Wash., at the home of their parents. Mr. Chas. E. Larsen accompanied Dr. and Mrs. Bates on a trip to the Siletz Agency last Wednesday. Miss French spent her Thanksgiving in Corvallis, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. George O. Gatlin of O. S. C. Verne Wilson was an invited guest at the Thanks giving family dinner at the home of Supt. and Mrs. Lipps. Miss Elsie Lipps, who is attending the Oregon State College at Corvallis, came home to spend Thanksgiving with her parents. Last Friday Supt. Lipps accompanied Dr. and Mrs. Bates to Corvallis for a conference with those in charge of the extention department of O. S. C. At the usual hour on Sunday the Y. W.s held their meeting. There wasn’t any special program so a “Song Service” was held, which everyone enjoyed. Bandmaster VosBurgh and his bandboys accompan ied our football boys to Salem on Thanksgiving to as sist as a part of our rooting section in our game with Salem Hi. Mr. and Mrs. George Wasson of North Bend, Ore gon, arrived at Chemawa last Sunday and departed for home on Monday. During their sojourn here they were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Larsen. Chief Shunatona and his band who were appearing at the Elsinore theatre in Salem during the week-end, were hosts to Bandmaster VosBurgh and his band boys last Sunday afternoon and our people were en tertained at the theatre. The open session of the Winona Literary Society girls given last Wednesday evening in the auditorium proved to be a most creditable affair in every particu lar and assisted in bringing before the public some new talenLof real promise. From beginning to end it was an evening of real entertainment and the so ciety members and their advisor, Miss Wentzel, and all those who extended a helping hand may well take pride in their success. Mr. Boyes, who is in charge of our students’ din ing hall, wishes to give personal thanks to all the em ployes who assisted him in serving the dinner to the students on Thanksgiving Day. He also hopes that the students were well satisfied with their menu on this occasion. Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Sandberg and daughter, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Burt, and son, of Reedsport, Oregon, arrived at the school on Saturday last to remain as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Larsen until Sun day when they returned home. Mr. and Mrs. Sand berg have two sons here in school, Fred and Everett. Chief Shunatona and his Indian Bandsmen were visitors at Chemawa during the past week-end. They were in Salem filling a theatre engagement. They ap peared in every respect a most likeable party and with far more than average musical ability. Chief Shuna tona is the director of the organization and he is a gentleman one is pleased to meet. Members of the Teachers’ Club and their invited friends enjoyed a wonderfully fine dinner at their din ing hall on Thanksgiving Day—it was a turkey dinner with everything that could be expected to go with it. It was truly a dinner to be remembered, and we know whereof we speak as we were foitunate enough to be ‘ ‘among those present, ’ ’ for which favor we were truly thankful. We feel very anxious regarding the condition of Supt. James H. McGregor of Pine Ridge, S. Dak., and formerly of this school. A few days ago Supt. Lipps received a brief letter from Mrs. McGregor ad vising him of the serious illness of her husband. He suffered an excruciating attack of angina pectoris and at the time Mrs. McGregor wrote was under the care of a clinic at Hot Springs and his condition was pre carious. This is certainly distressing news for a le gion of friends in this section who hope most devoutly for a speedy recovery for their good friend. During chapel last Sunday evening Supt. Lipps, who was in charge, introduced Dr. Earl A. Bates, who with his wife had been guests at the school for several days, and the Doctor made a memorable talk. He is a fluent and agreeable speaker to hear and he has a wonderful knowledge of Indian history. Our people fell in love with both Dr. and Mrs. Bates dur ing their brief stay at Chemawa. On leaving the auditorium platform our visitors hurried to catch the train south, while Supt. Lipps made a follow-up on matters touched upon by Dr. Bates. There was no misunderstanding what either speaker said and what was stated is true. During the evening there was a vocal number by a group of girls, a choir and orches tra number. MMMMM
