CHEMAWA<«'AMERICAN Printed at Chemawa, Oregon, and Devoted to the Interests of Indian Education No. 10 Wednesday, Jan. 20, 1932 Vol. XXXIII ______ THE MT. A ngel orchestra The Mt. Angel College orchestra was in charge of the chap el at the Chemawa School last Sunday evening, and the pro gram which they put on was highly commended in every respect, consisting mostly of classical numbers. Vocal solos were rendered by Dr. R. A. Shrabaum andjack Riley. This orchestra is conducted by George T. Barrett, a graduate of the Chemawa School and also of the Mt. Angel College. Mr. Barrett received his early training in music here at Che mawa. In addition to the orchestra numbers, inspirational talks on character building were given during the program by Father Gabriel of Mt. Angel and Father Ildefonse of Che mawa. This orchestra consists of some twenty members, and the following Mt. Angel people accompanied the boys and were in charge of their transportation: Dr. and Mrs. R. A. Shrabaum F. C. Schmidt, R. L. Merrick, Father Cyril and Father Ga briel. After the program in the auditorium, the Mt. Angel visitors and local employees adjourned to the Practice House where refreshments were served by Miss Newell and her home man agement girls, and during the latter part of the evening vocal selections were rendered by Alice Slater and Marie LaFrance ac companied by Miss Eakin; Joe White, accompanied by Mrs. Kleihage; andjack Riley who was accompanied by Frank Byron. Mr. A. S. Melovidoff rendered a number of violin selections, with Mrs. Kleihage at the piano. The Chemawa faculty and student body are grateful to Mr. Barrett and his splendid orchestra for having made this profitable evening possible, and also to Father Ildefonse, local pastor, who was instrumental in arranging for the same. LOCAL Our first snow of the winter appeared at Chemawa on the morning of January 12th. Supt. Ryan spent a recent week-end in the Siletz country on school business. Mrs. Ryan accompanied him. Since our last issue District Supervisor Hammond and Mr. Larsen have spent quite a lot of time in the Siletz country on official business. Mrs. George Van Sorder, nee Spyna Howard, Che mawa graduate of the class of 1928, is now employed as head cook at the Blackfeet boarding school in Montana. Just recently the Federal Employes of Chemawa in dulged themselves with a dinner at the Club, after which a social hour was passed to the great pleasure of all who attended. Supervisor Hammond and Mr. Larsen passed the last week-end at Chemawa after having been officially engaged in work in the Siletz country. They are now in Grand Ronde we understand. Fred Benson is back among the carpenters once more, also Peter Paquette is again reinstated with the engineers. Both boys took a little flier in the business course. We wish at this time to thank Supt. Ryan for the splendid classroom that was built for us in the south end of our apple house. We surely appreciate it. —T he G ardeners . Chemawa has what is locally known as a Mothers’ Club. Individually, mothers are eternally busy and vigilant, so we presume it is with the members of this club. Honor to the mothers of the land wherever they may be. The mid-term change of details was effected with but very little adjustment in our trade and industrial departments, reports Mr. Allen. A few of our first- year-at-Chemawa boys elected to change to vocations that more nearly fit their aptitudes and future require ments. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Jose arrived at Chemawa last week from Truxton Canyon, Arizona, from which place Mr. Jose was transferred to the position of assistant boys’ advisor at our school. Mr. Jose is a graduate of the Phoenix school and has had many years experience in the service in his line of work. The American bids the new-comers welcome and trusts that they will like Chemawa. Mr. A. S. Melovidoff, violinist, gave a program at Keizer, last Friday evening that the Salem papers pro nounced “a hit,” and much praise of the affair has reached us. Mrs. D. H. Kleihage of Chemawa was at the piano, both as accompanist and soloist. Mr. Lobdell, also of Chemawa, appeared on the program as harmonica soloist. Beyond doubt the evening was a complete success from every point of view.
