The large dining room of Cramton Hall presented
a beautiful appearance on Thanksgiving Day, thanks
to the efforts of Mrs. Larsen and her willing assistants.
And then just think of the wonderful turkey dinner
that the students enjoyed. Just before the meal a
dozen or more of our girls, more or less representing
Priscillas, gave a little promenade about the hall sing

pleasing innovation. During the meal, following a
custom of many years standing at Chemawa, employes
assisted in serving the students. Music was provided
by the orchestra. It was a memorable event.
