GJhe fairest season of the passing year—
GJhe merry, merry (Christmas time is
here.

NO. 8
Of late years we have to some extent lost this fine
spirit, probably when we were changing from a little
school to a big one. Not wholly but enough to make
a difference. We can’t afford to do this. It would be
a shame to lose through carelessness a fine attribute—
one of our claims to distinction. Chemawa has “ come
back’ ’ on tne grid-iron and on the maple court when
the odds seemed hopeless. We can and will in this
instance make a mighty effort to stage another and
nobler come-back.
Suggestions for other weeks may be turned in to
Supt. Ryan. You students—no one knows you like
you do yourselves. Think of your weak spots and try
to plan a remedy. The Superintendent will be pleased
to receive any number of ideas.

SUCCESS HABITS
The first of a series to be known as Success Habit
Weeks have been inaugurated here at Chemawa by
Supt. Ryan. There is a serious purpose behind this
plan and every one is expected to join in the spirit and
put it over in true Chemawa style. The whole thing
is planned with the purpose of improving and bettering
our school and it’s inhabitants. It would be foolish
indeed not to make every effort to put it over.
This is “ Greeting Week.” In a sense this is an
effort to recapture an old Chemawa custom. At one
time friendliness and good will were synonymous with
the word “ Chemawa.” Chemawa (which means
“ happy home” ) was in truth the most home-like of
all our scnools. Chemawa students were the most
cheerful, well-mannered and contented of students.
People liked to visit us because they were always greet
ed (not familiarly) but cheerfully and in a friendly
manner by even our smallest students and because the
atmosphere generally was always one of contentment
and hominess.
