Our study hour is not as quiet as we would like it to
be, but Rome was not built in a day. Here is hoping
we improve. And we will.
JUNIOR CLASS NOTES
MITCHELL HALL
We boys of Mitchell Hall all have our jobs by which
we are endeavoring to earn our board and room. Our
job consists of doing anything from shining halls to
mowing the lawn.
We are also trying very hard to keep the newly
painted floors and walls clean.
Thomas White has just been made one of our new
officers and we hope the boys of B. Company, Mitchell
Hall, will cooperate with him in trying to maintain
the good appearance of our building.
At present we haven’t very many A-plus rooms but as
the new boys learn to work together with their room
mates we know we shall have many more.
TheA-plus rooms are: Room 1, Walter Mahjor and
Victor Smith; 5, Lovey Jackson and Aubrey Cleveland;
4, Raymond Tesgetivo and Hugh Edmo; 8, George
Bostwick and James Fisher; 9, Hadly John and Mel
vin Olney; 10, William Gettler and William Alexander;
12, Leo Sanders and Aloysius Jefferson; 17, James
Pephyrs and Matthew DeCelles; 18, Quentin Mark-
ishtum and Landon Parker; 22, William Blakeslee and
Alfred Pond; 29, Raymond Razberry and Clarence
Woodcock; 30, Hamilton Greene and David James;
33, Wilson Bobb and Marshall Kitson; 34, Clarence
Peters and David Seminole; 40, Leo Lawrence and
Carl Lawrence.
Seeing as Winona Hall is so interested in issuing
challenges we wish they would look at our building.
The two boys we elected—after due consideration
and much discussion—to represent the Mitchell Hall
boys at the student council are Walter Mahjor and
Pressly LaBreche.
They are now our leaders and
our voice at the council. We hope they will not fail
US.
McNARY HALL
Mr. Sanders has boys working on our shower room,
for which we are very thankful. McNary lavatories
and shower rooms have not had paint for a long time
and we are very thankful for the improvement.
Sorry to say Archie Lawyer is leaving us.
Andrew Hatfield is doing over McNary guest room.
It will be good as new in a short time. Vivette is to
make a curtain rod and Jim Walters a floor lamp. Our
matron has made new curtains and rings. Our guest
room will soon be open for visitors again.
We have at present 138 splendid young men in our
home. We are a very happy and congenial group.
The junior girft are quite well organized in their
classes. We have in our midst many new students
as well as the same old gang. Our class suffered the
loss of three students; namely, Francis Goff, Oleta
Edsell and Mildred Thomas.
Leona Normandin recently returned from the hos
pital after having a touch of influenza.
Most of us are still shaking our heads over physics,
however we are getting some of the right ideas. It
seems hard but we hope there will be no failures at
the end of the year.
The juniors are all set to beat their rivals, the
seniors, in football. Prospects look good, so watch
out, seniors!
FAITHFUL MINISTER REWARDED
It is with extreme regret that we learned of the death
of Rev. Edward Marsden, a fullblood Tsimpsian min
ister of Alaska. In previous years Rev. Marsden was
a visitor at Chemawa and in every way he endeared
himself to our people, young and old. His untimely
death will leave a void never to be filled, probably.
The Verstovian of Sitka, Alaska, gives us the fol
lowing obituary:
The religious forces at work among the people of
Southeastern Alaska have suffered a great loss in the
death of Rev. Edward Marsden of Metlakatla. For
many years he was a good shepherd among the mem
bers of his church serving them courageously Sunday
by Sunday, week after week. Nor did his influence
stop within the fold of his flock. In his community
he was a staunch defender of the Faith and a strong
leader in civic affairs. His judgments, expressed from
the depth of personal conviction, were as a rock offering
a foothold for many struggling souls and again as a
beacon light pointing the way to right and improve
ment. So, too, he was known beyond the limits of
his village, in every church of Presbytery, and to other
churches in the States. Now he has stepped beyond
the dark, mysterious curtain at life’s journey’s end to
receive a richly earned reward—Eternal Life.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wallace departed for their
home in Indiana on Sunday last. Mrs. Wallace was
our art teacher during the last term.
The printers are the proud possessors of new aprons,
designed and manufactured by the tailors. We rake
this opportunity to thank Mr. James and his men for
their cooperation.
