Page 3 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN PERATBOVICH-DUPUIS We have just learned of the marriage in Seattle, Wash., on April 29th, of Robert J. Peratrovich, Jr., and Miss Ivy Dupuis. This will interest many of our readers, as both of the young people were formerly students at Chemawa. The newly-weds are soon to go to Klawock, Alaska, where Robert is in business with his father, and where he will be busy during the summer. In the fall they plan to return to Seattle where they both will enroll at the State University, Mr. Peratrovich as a senior and his wife as a freshman. A host of friends will wish them unbounded success and happiness for all the years allotted them and The American is happy to be of that number. NONPAREIL OPEN SESSION The girls of the Nonpareil Literary Society gave their “open session’’ last Saturday evening. The girls composing this society met with many obstacles in pre senting their program and finally, at the critical period, Miss Grace Peterson became their “angel” and the show went over big. These programs are of more than ordinary interest, as they afford opportunities for “hit ting” various members of their brother and sister so cieties, as well as exploiting the talent of their own societies. The Nonpareils did themselves proud last Saturday and the members and Miss Peterson have a right to feel satisfied and proud over the showing they made. LOCAL. Last Monday evening Mrs. Lipps and Mrs. Brickell were hostesses for two chapters of prominent ladies of the P. E. O. of Salem. The gathering was held at the home of Mrs. Lipps and there were talks of more than ordinary interest on worthwhile subjects, general con versation, music and refreshments. It was truly a de lightful evening for all the ladies. Misses Ruth and Helen Lipps, Alice Slater and Marie La France assisted in serving and during the evening the last two men tioned were heard in vocal solos. Our orchestra filled a date at the Salem “Y” last Friday evening, Alice Slater and Marie La France as sisted on the program as vocalists. There was a “ca pacity” house and every number on the program was well received. Both of our young lady vocalists did splendidly and Mr. Melovidoff in his violin solo was also a “hit,” and Mr. Larsen with his trombone feature was well received. In fact, there is no deny ing the fact that the orchestra proved of more than or dinary merit and a credit to our school. The person nel of the organization is: A. S. .Melovidoff, violin: Allan Shepard, clarinet; Geo. W. Bent, 1st trumpet; Alex Gouley, 2nd trumpet; Chas. E. Larsen, trom bone; Ruthyn Turney, double bass; Mrs. Ruihyn Tur ney, piano, and LeRoy Pepion, traps. Last Friday evening the Girl Scouts gave a surprise party at the Wigwam, honoring Miss Lundquist, the captain of our two troops. Games of a varied char acter and delicious refreshments made the occasion a happy one. Mrs. Walker sponsored the affair. Last Sunday evening the chapel hour was devoted to a musical program, appropriate to Mothers’ Day and also to the closing of national music week. The pro gram seemed to give pleasure to those in attendance and consisted of a couple orchestral selections, vocal solos by Alice Slater, Marie La France, Victor Smith and Joe White. A quartet of boys gave a number, as did a septet of girls, and the boys’ glee club appeared and sang unaccompanied. In every way those on the program acquitted themselves most creditably. Mothers’ Day was appropriately observed on Sunday morning at the Protestant chapel by a special service at which the mothers of the campus were the guests of honor. A sincere and beautifully expressed tribute to mothers, was given by Miss Morgan, and a most interesting story of some famous mothers of history was given by Miss Bissell. A number of students al so participated in the program with poems, Scripture readingsand music. The Girl Reserves and Pioneers’ Club provided boutonnieres for all who attended the service. As a part of the nation-wide observance of Music Week, a Girl Reserve Ceremonial in honor of Mothers’ Day was given at the First M.E. church, by the Girl Reserves of Salem, Silverton and Chemawa. Christine Muller, president of the local high school Girl Reserves group, gave the history and origin of Mothers’ Day. Several members of the our Girl Reserves chorus sang in the choir number, “Love’s on the Highroad,” and the other Girl Reserves who attended the program par ticipated in the Processional and Recessional. Camp fire Girls, Girl Scouts, and Boy Scouts, were invited guests for the afternoon. Many of our readers will recall Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Wilson, who with their son, Verne, and daughter, Marjorie, were for a year or two residents of Chemaw’a, Mr. Wilson being our chief clerk. From here they transferred to Ft. Defiance, Arizona, a couple of years ago. Just recently Mr. Wilson was appointed super intendent at the Coeur d’Alene Indian Agency in Ida ho. Within the course of the next two or three weeks Mr. and Mrs. Wilson will pass through Chemawa with their daughter for their new post. Verne has been enrolled for the past year at Willamette University and is in Salem. Many friends here at the school will be happy to again meet these good people and will re joice to learn of Mr. Wilson’s promotion. ESCORTS Sat., May 16—To Salem...............................
