Band concert in the auditorium next Saturday night.
Mr. Larsen made a hurry-up business trip to Grand
Ronde last Friday.
Mrs. Middleton entertained Mrs. Mayne and Mrs.
VosBurgh at a bridge party last Thursday night.
Dowd Franklin, who recently submitted to a sur­
gical operation on his shoulder, is reported to be get­
ting along nicely.
Lillian Helgerson, who had the misfortune to break
her arm while roller skating, has so far recovered as
to be back in school again.
Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Henderson arrived home last
week from a wonderful trip to Southern California,
Arizona and New Mexico. It was partly business
and partly a pleasure trip.
Pearl White, who some little while ago was sent to
the Tacoma Sanatorium to undergo a mastoid opera­
tion, has about completely regained her health and is
back in her class here.
We are all most grateful to The Oregonian people
for the splendid illustrated article that appeared in
last Sunday’s edition of that fine paper.
It made
all of Chemawa proud and happy.
Supt. Lipps arrived home last Thursday from a busi­
ness trip that took him to Spokane, Tulalip and Ta­
coma in the State of Washington. He reports a good
trip with satisfactory results from a business point of
view.
Last Friday evening our sextet of young lady vocal­
ists appeared on a program given by the Salem Heights
Community Club and they acquitted themselves in a
manner to bring credit to themselves and their school.
They were accompanied by Misses Eakin and Judd,
the former playing the accompaniments.
Mr. Melovidoff is gaining much publicity in this
section as a violinist. Last Thursday evening he ap­
peared in violin solos before the Artisans in Salem and
the following morning the Oregon Statesman car­
ried his picture and a splendid write-up of him and
his musical career. Last night as we were going to
press we learned that he was scheduled to appear as a
soloist before the American Legion organization of
Salem.
James Oliver, a Chemawa graduate of a few years
ago, is employed at the Tulalip School as fireman and
we are advised that he is getting along very nicely.
Supt. Lipp, reports seeing Clifford Meachem and
Jake Atkins, Chemawa graduates now employed at the
Tacoma Sanatorium, on his recent trip, and states that
both boys are getting along nicely with their work.
Mrs. Earl Hunter, Jr. (nee Kirk) and young son
arrived at Chemawa last Friday evening from Juneau,
Alaska, for an extended visit with her parents who are
employed here. Both Mrs. Hunter and son are in the
best of health after their trip south.
Robert Perkins, of the graduating class of ’30, ar­
rived here last Saturday from his home in Seattle to
accept a position as a manual work instructor. We
predict that he will prove most successful in this work,
being himself especially gifted as a wood worker.
The Catholic Boys’ Association entertained their
friends at an enjoyable social Sunday afternoon. Spe­
cial numbers were contributed by John Peltier, Earl
Brown and Adeline Pelican. Delicious refreshments
were served by members of the Little Flower Society.
This pleasant afternoon will probably long be re­
membered by those present and Mr. Allen, advisor of
this society, deserves much credit for the success of the
occasion.
Last Friday evening the declamation contests were
started, representatives of the various literary societies
competing. The boys took the dramatic division and
Charles Gardepi took first place, Peter Levay second
and Theodore Thomas third; the girls took the hum­
orous side of the contest and first place was awarded
to Adeline Pelican, second to Rosalia Grounds and
third to Florence Allman. On Saturday evening the
girls had the serious side and the boys represented the
humorous and the result was, girls, first place Marie
La France, second Ellen Nicholson, and third went
to Grace Marshall; the boys placed, Narciss Pratt first,
Matthew James second and Collins Anderson third.
This gave the Nonpareils 17 points, the Excelsiors 9,
the Reliance 9, and the Winonas 1. The contests
were both interesting and creditable and no doubt
Mr. Ryan, who was in charge, was well pleased with
the fine showing made.
