CHEMAWA « AMERICAN Printed atChemawa, Oregon, and Devoted to the Interests of Indian Education Wednesday, June 1, 1932 Vol. XXXIV OUR COMMENCEMENT Another school year has gone into the discard. It has been a year of progress for the great majority of our students, but progress in the final analysis of things is an individual matter—many will profit while a few will “tread water” so to speak, even in the face of the same opportunities. It is always so. Chemawa offers great things for those of ambition, and we have many students on our rolls for whom the fac ulty from Supt. Ryan down expect great things. Our last few weeks have been taken up with final exam inations, social gatherings, picinics for various organ ization, etc., and now all that remains are pleasant memories. On May 22nd, Sunday, we had our baccalaureate exercises, held at 7:30 in the auditorium. Theaddress was delivered by Dr. W. L. Meyers, chancellor of the Eugene Bible College, and he proved to be an able and interesting speaker and we are all grateful to him for his fine discourse. Supt. Ryan was in charge of the exercises, and the following program was rendered: Processional________________________________________ Orchestra America the Beautiful (Rates) ________________________ School Invocation_________________________________ Dr. W.

Ryan awarded various prizes to the students having won them through in dividual effort or merit. This was a gala occasion and was enlivened by Charles DePoe and his band with music in every way appropriate. In the evening there was a farewell party in the form of a dance, an orches tra from Portland having been secured to provide the music. It proved an enjoyable event for all.
