Watch ’em go! The school band participated in the Armistice day parade in Salem. The band boys also gave a concert on the evening of Nov. 4. They covered themselves with glory on both occasions. Mr. and Mrs. Burney Wilson visited friends at Che mawa recently. Mr. Wilson is an old time student at Chemawa and both he and his wife are Haskell alumni. Their home is at Klamath agency in south ern Oregon where Mr. Wilson is a clerk in the agency office. The operetta cast is working very hard to have “The Belle of Bagdad’’ ready by December 2nd and 3rd. This will prove to be one of the most interest ing and intertaining events of the year. It is free on Dec. 2nd. but on Dec. 3rd there is to be admission of 15 cents. The marriage of Mrs. Mary Peacher and F. M. Knapp took place November 3 at the Methodist par sonage at Chehalis, Wash. Mrs. Peacher has been a matron at McBride hall for several years and will cer tainly be missed when she leaves at the close of school to make her home in Chehalis. Mr. Knapp is a build er and contractor of Chehalis. Chapel last Sunday night consisted of a program furnished by the boys of the school. Supt. Ryan pre sided and gave a short talk, Mr. Gilliam made a few announcements concerning arrangements for the Che- mawa-Salem game and the following numbers were contributed by the boys: Saxophone quartet, oration by James Rosario and a vocal quartet. A boys or chestra also played for the processional and recessional. It was an enjoyable chapel. At chapel Sunday night, Nov. 13, the student body once more had the pleasure of listening to one of George P. LaVatta’s fine heart-to-heart talks. Mr. LaVatta’s doctrine is “Work and self-reliance.’’ He lives it himself and, in a straight-from-the-shoulder manner, preaches it to our young people everywhere as the solution to their life problems. Supt. Ryan made a number of announcements, a boys’ chorus sang Indian Dawn by Zamecnik and the orchestra played Les Adieu by Sarasate. FROM THE CLASS-ROOMS SENIOR NOTES The girls all went up town to have their pictures tak en for the annual, Saturday. The boys posed yester day. We all hope the camera isn’t broken. Only three more boys to get their season tickets. Come on you’re doing fine! Keep up the good work and we will be sure to win. Miss Font gave five senior girls a party at Doctor’s cottage E'riday evening. What a break! Who says the seniors aren’t popular? Two Senior nurses, Margaret Sampson and Esther Hillman, cooked and served a dinner at the hospital. Those present were Mrs. Peacher, Mrs. Wilcox, Miss Fout and Miss Shafer. We take pride in announcing that the senior boys won championships in the class volley ball and foot ball games. The girls were defeated by the juniors. Shades of Berzelues! We have been having exper iments in Chemistry which we thought plenty difficult, but now that we have come to chemistry problems. Oh my! We have two excellent students in the senior class. Onia Woodcock and Leo Ceotionoir who both made the “A” honor roll for the first quarter. What’s the mat ter with the rest of the class? Come on! Get hot! In the tenth grade biology class we are studying different species of birds, namely owls, mudhens and cranes. The other sections of the tenth grade are studying about grass-hoppers, which are very inter esting. Mrs. Lobdell is the sponsor for the eighth grade classes. We are now working on the selection of class officers. We have an excellent captain for our volleyball team; she is Rubina Scott. Naomi Nesplie was appointed class reporter for the eighth grade. Mr. Lobdell has been made sponsor of the seventh grade class. Edna Joe was elected class reporter for the class. She is also the volleyball captain of the class. All the seventh grade classes took a standard ized test in English. The only way to learn good English is to practice it. Every day in our English class we give a short oral recitation using the correct word we have just learned. The girls of our class are very sorry to know that Mrs. Fisher, our matron at Hawley hall two years ago, passed away during the summer. The eighth grade students held a meeting in the auditorium on Tuesday afternoon at 4 o’clock, Nov. 15, 1932. They elected the following class officers: President, John Blacketeer; vice-president, Juanita Juneau; secretary, Lawrence Bennett; treasurer, Sam Shoulderblade; sergeant-at-arms, Alice Walters; report er, Hugh Edmo; yell leader, Vernon Jackson; song leader, Bernice Frye. The 8-B-2 boys made up a club and called it the “eight two bees.” They then elect ed officers.
