CHEMAWA(f)AMERICAN Printed at Chemawa, Oregon, and Devoted to the Interests of Indian Education WEDNESDAY, MAR. 1, 1933 VOL. XXXIV CHEMAWA CELEBRATES 53RD BIRTHDAY Chemawa reached the ripe old age of 53 on Feb. 25. The day was observed by the traditional inter-class song and yell contest. Chemawa was extolled with unusually fine efforts from the various classes. Pre cision in the drills, school spirit as expressed by the cheers and melody and harmony in the songs was of such a high order as to surpass all such contests of re cent years. The winning song was sung in four-part harmony. Dr. Epley, Scout Commissioner West and Mr. Hoag from Salem were the judges. First place was unani mously awarded to the seniors. The freshmen received second place and the sophomores third. The prizes consisted of three large delicious cakes and after the contest was over they were taken to the respective classrooms and served. Two of the judges, Dr. Epley and Mr. Hoag were guests of the senior class on this occasion. An impromptu program followed in which solos were rendered by Dr. Epley and Harold Berys and a reading given by Katherine Bailey. Much mirth was caused by humerous yarns and jokes told by Dr. Epley.
