LOCAL
Well, it rained on Easter!
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Larson spent the last week
end at the coast.
Silas Moon has been a recent visitor to the school,
the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Larsen.
Miss Earlougher, school librarian, was called to
San Francisco, California, last week by the death of a
relative. She has the sympathy of a large circle of
friends.
Since our last issue the school orchestra appeared
on the Hazel Green parent teachers’ program and ren
dered a number of selections that were enjoyed by the
large crowd present.
George P. LaVatta, placement official of the Ser­
vice, paid Chemawa a visit of a few days duration last
week. We are always pleased to welcome Mr. La­
Vatta when he appears on his official visits.
Chapel on Easter Sunday was in charge of Supt.
Ryan, who read an interesting paper on what Easter
means. The girls’ sextette and the choir sang beau­
tiful Easter numbers and the orchestra play a selection
fitting the occasion.
Miss Luella Williams accepted transfer last week
to the Phoenix Indian school in the capacity of nurse.
She had served in that capacity at Chemawa during
the past year or two, during which period she made
many friends locally who will be pleased to hear of
her success in her new field.
The girls of the Music Club entertained last Wednes­
day evening with a dinner at the Wigwam. It was
in truth a feast—a memorable affair in every respect,
highly creditable to the girls of this organization.
Among others, Mr. LaVatta, Miss White and Georgie
Bent were the honored guests.
About twenty friends surprised Miss White at her
quarters in Kola Tepee last Thursday evening in an
observance of her birthday. It proved a delightful
occasion for all. During the evening delicious refresh­
ments were served. Mr. Bent was the prime mover
in arranging this memorable party.
Prices of “permanent waves” have been reduced at
Ye Beauty Shoppe and students will pay $3 for this
work and employes $4. This work done by Miss
Funk. Her apprentices will give students permanent
waves for $2. The girls taking this work are pro­
gressing nicely and some of them will soon be qualified
to take the examination given by the state board.
Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Estep spent a few days in Che­
mawa resently, the guest of their daughter, Miss Jose­
phine Estep, who is assistant music teacher at the
school. Mr. Estep was for many years a prominent
figure in the Indian Service, and was retiied about
a year ago. Mr. and Mrs. Estep were returning to
their home in Willets, California, after having passed
several months in Seattle and various section of Wash­
ington.
Last Friday evening the school orchestra played a
concert at the Y. M. C. A. in Salem. The audience
was unexpectedly large and it was necessary to carry
in many extra chairs to seat the crowd before the
orchestra could begin. Alice Slater appeared with the
orchestra in the role of vocalist and Rudolph Masey
as reader. Both were given a fine reception by those
present. The work of the orchestra brought many
commendable comments and altogether the evening
was a memorable one. This was the tenth annual
concert of our orchestra at the Salem Y. M. C. A.
A few evenings ago Miss Estep had her young pi­
ano pupils appear in recital. The affair was held in
the “practice house” in the presence of a number of
guests. The girls of the piano class did themselves
and their teacher great credit and we are certain that
if they persevere many of them can become most cap­
able performers. At the close of the musical program
a “musical guessing game” was indulged in by the
class, to the interest of all. As the close of an enjoy­
able evening Miss Estep served delicious refreshments.
This was really a splendid move in a direction that
bids fair to lead to commendable achievement.

sung and delicious refreshments were served and en­
joyed by all.
