T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN P AGE 2 CHEM AWAf)AMERIC AN Published Bi-Weekly at the U. S. Indian School, Chemawa Oregon. <I,Address all communications to Allan Shepard, Manager 50 Cts per Annum Subscription LOCAL At chapel Sunday night we were entertained by a talk on aviation by a flying instructor from the Salem airport. Miss Strauch, of the D. S. department, underwent an operation Tuesday morning. At present she is re covering splendily. The girls sextet gave a half hour program at the Mountain View Parent Teachers Association. The program consisted of solos and numbers from the sex tet. They were well received. Friday noon the girls are to sing at the Red Cross luncheon in Salem. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Hatch, Florence, Oregon, were visitors to the school last week. Mr. Hatch grad uated in 1913 and then graduated from Benson Poly at Portland. Mrs. Hatch, (Hattie Martin), graduat ed in 1920. These young people are building a new house at Florence. The Utica Jubilee Singers sang in the Chemawa aud itorium last Saturday night to a packed house. They gave a program composed in the main of negro spirit uals and southern songs. Our audience was enthus iastic about them and the boys deserved every bit of the applause they received. On Monday evening of last week Chemawa indulged in a carnival. There were numerous ingenious devices to stir the curiosity, arouse the appetite, test the skill, and to otherwise amuse and divert the happy throng gathered in the gym. All concessions were operated by local talent. The gala event ended up with dancing. Principal S. H. Gilliam recently organized a writing class to help furnish copy for the A merican . Miss Cruise has been appointed to conduct the class. Much of the news in the last issue came from them, as did many items in today’s paper. In the future please send or hand any matter you may have for publication either to Miss Cruise or to some member of her class. We are all acquainted by now with Dr. Henry Roe cloud whom we were happy to have with us. Those who attended the Protestant church were fortunate to have him participate in the services. In chapel every one must have been stirred and inspired by the speech Dr. Roecloud gave. He told of his life from early childhood in the tepee, to the time he first left the reservation to “see paper” and on to his graduation from a famous university and association and friend ship with the nation’s leaders. He told of a career fraught with trials and triumphs simply and earnestly and it would have been a dull student indeed who failed to see his purpose and a listless one who failed to profit by it. SUPT. AND MBS. BYAN COMPLIMENTED All Chemawa employees and their friends were in vited to gather Thursday evening at the Y. W. C. A. room in compliment to Mr. and Mrs. Ryan, honoring Mr. Ryan’s recent appointment as superintendent. After the honor guests had arrived and had been greeted enthusiastically, the evening’s entertainment took the form of a school calendar, beginning with registration of all present. When classification was complete, class officers were chosen and inter-class sports were the order of the day. In the song and yell contest, first place went to the “dumb-bell” class, under the leadership of Mr. Gilliam. Try-outs for the dramatic club were then held, in the form of an impromptu skit, in which Mr. Allen showed unusual dramatic ability as “Alkalai Ike, the cow puncher, ” and Miss Wentzel won the hearts of her audience with her sympathetic potrayal of “Daring Nell, a cow girl of the plains.” Rare musical talent was discovered in the choir practice that followed, as voices high and low blended in the familiar strains of “Smiles.” The entire company took their places in Assembly to the martial music of the tin pan orchestra, where Mr. Hicks as Mr. Ryan, and Mr. Smith as Mr. Gil liam gave appropriate announcements and then intro duced the “Girl’s Sextet” composed of Mrs. Kleihege, Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Fournier, Mrs. Hicks, Miss Cruise and Miss Judd, who sang such a popular number that they had to respond to an encore. An “educational movie” concluded the Assembly. The climax of the evening was the Junior Prom, a colorful affair with each guest, decked in a gay paper hat of his own making, participating in a grand march directed by Miss Trevett. Miss Morgan and her efficient committee served delicious refreshments at the close of the program.
