LOCAL Dorothy Parker who completed the course at Che- mawa a few years ago, writes from Pine Ridge Agency where she is now employed as Matron, that she is en joying her work, although on account of a fire recently destroying the girls’ dormitory, the work now is quite difficult and strenuous. Dorothy deserves a great deal of credit for having been able to get all of the girls out of the dormitory safely at the time of this fire, which we understand started late at night. Archbishop Edward D. Howard of Portland visited Chemawa on Sunday, administering Confirmation to a class of sixty-four Catholic pupils. After the ser vices at the Church Archbishop Howard, Father Ildefonse and a number of the employees met at the Wigwam for a dinner prepared by Miss Burrell and her girls. During dinner Mr. and Mrs. Turney and Mr. Melovidoff rendered a number of fine violin and piano selections, while Alice Slater and Marie La France contributed vocal numbers which were greatly appre ciated by the guests. Archbishop Howard had the highest praise for Chemawa and the work of Supt. Lipps. He especially noted the many improvements since his last visit here some two years ago. Last Saturday evening the band boys, under the di rection of Mr. VosBurgh, rendered a program that was pleasing to all. At a late hour it was announced that the house would be thrown open to all students regardless of whether or not they held tickets, so the auditorium was packed. Quite a number of outsiders were in attendance. From every point of view it is quite apparent that Director VosBurgh and the boys are “arriving.” The organization is working more smoothly and it was noticeable that there is more con fidence all around. The girls’ orchestra was intro duced to the public, and the girls in their debut were just as the program stated, a “surprise.” The girls are doing splendid work. There were many inter polations of entertaining features, introduced by Mr. VosBurgh, that proved “hits,” and ranged from pure ly instrumental and vocal music to sleight-o’-hand tricks. It was really a most pleasing program and we commend the organization for what they did on this occasion. During the chapel exercises last Sunday evening Supt. Lipps began his talk to the students by address ing the various members of the band on the excellence of the concert given by their organization last Saturday evening, stating his pleasure at the showing Bandmas ter VosBurgh and the boys are making. He followed this with a general talk on the value of music in the lives of the people everywhere, and advised all with musical talent to cultivate it, not with a view to profes sionalism, but on their own accounts, for purely cultural reasons. He was certainly correct in all of his observations. He closed his remarks with an ap peal to all of our students to take counsel with them selves and to resolve to do better and more work than they have ever done heretofore. It was a splendid talk. In addition to his talk Alice Slater sang “By the Waters of Minnetonka” with a violin obligato played by Mr. Melovidoff; the orchestra played a se lection from the musical farce, “High Jinks,” by Friml, and the choir contributed a pleasing number. ESCORTS Sunday, Mar. 15—McBride Miss Semanski Mr. Shepard Winona - - - Miss Lundquist Mr. J. S. Kunkel Hawley - - - Mrs. Sanders Mr. Sanders - - - When our ball tossers blossom out in their uniforms this Spring they will be as nicely attired as any team in the coun try. Mr. James and his tailors are now in the process of build ing a complete new outfit for them. A sample was completed one day last week and was out for inspection. First class in material and workmanship, it is a work of art—perfect and complete in every detail. Our tailors have made us several outfits, but we believe this one the peer of them all. The ma terial is of the best grade of athletic wool flannel, gray with blue pencil stripes piped with red. "Chemawa” is spelled out across the chest and on the left sleeve is an Indian head done in red and white felt. To say the least they will be the last word in baseball uniforms.
