Last Wednesday afternoon the women of the First Christian church in Salem were guests of Mrs. Teter and Miss Eakin in the Y. W. C. A. room at Chemawa.

Mrs. Ramona Starritt of Orleans, Cal., known to her schoolmates as Ramona Tripp, is the lady in question and she wishes to be remembered to her friends. Mr. G. DeCorah, instructor in shoe-repairing at Chemawa, received a fine write-up in the Orgonian of Sunday, Oct. 2. The article told of his work as a leader in the Boy Scout organization and amongst his people and was illustrated by a picture of Mr. DeCorah in Indian custom. The gym was a scene of a variety of athletic enter tainment Saturday night. Six girls’ organizations were represented in three volleyball games and the evening wound up with a basketball game between Amera’s Blackhawks and a pick-up team of local stars, the Blackhawks emerging victorious after an overtime period. The game was a thriller. The painters are all busy repainting the interior of the “bachelors’ quarters” getting it ready for Mr. Smith and family. The complete force is working on this, so it will soon be in first class order. They recently did a fine job of painting in a room in the printing department—sponging the walls, varnishing the floor and painting all the wood work. The girls of the Practice House have been very busy the past week in serving informal dinners to their friends and have enjoyed it very much. This is their last week in the Practice House and they say that they dread the thought of leaving it because it has been such a w’onderful lesson and experience for them. They wish to acknowledge their most sincere appre ciation to Miss Newell.
