P age 3 T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN FROM THE DORMITORIES On the evening of February 14 the matrons of Hawley hall honored the officers with a valentine party. Agnes Hall, one of our new girls has been very sick in the hospital for some time, and we are over joyed to hear that she is improving. Our “live wire,” Barbara Whitelaw, was in the hospital for about two weeks. Dr. Lockman said that she needed to gain weight. Barbara said that she only gained one and three-fourth pounds, but we think that she has talked it all off since she came back. Karl Muller got the breaks and landed a fine job with the U. S. S. Geodetic Survey. His boat leaves Seattle soon to cover some of the northern seas. Karl is to be congratulated and we know he will make good. Many improvements have been made in the rooms and the walls in some of the rooms have received paint and it is a credit to the painters. Stop and see us. James Godowa was called home on account of illness of his father. We are looking for him back. John Larsen, a member of the Brewer household, does his extra time in working in the big barrel in Salem with Mr. Miller, formerly at the Big Chief. Dowd Franklin who has been working at the bar ber trade will soon complete his course and will be a full fledged barber. Eddie Bensell who has been on the advisors’ list has returned to his home to assist his father. BuckLarnard, Mitchell advisor, went to Seattle last week to chaperone Karl Muller. We think that Buck had to see that Karl got safely out of town. ORGANIZATIONS The Campus Troubadores, sponsored by the Catho lic boys’ association, entertained the boys at McNary hall on Feb. 19. They gave an enjoyable program of musical selections, vocal and instrumental. At the meeting of the Young Mens’ Christian as sociation Miss Hoffman gave a very interesting talk. Her subject was on commercial work as a vocation and it was enjoyed by all. At a recent meeting of the Young Womens’ Christ ian association interest was centered on the discus sion of the ill effects of the use of alcohol and tobacco. Outstanding talks were given by Alma Hawley and Alice Bachman. At the following meeting Miss Tre- vette gave a talk on physical education as a vocation.

Latonah girls held council fire at their last meeting and beads were awarded by Miss Newell. CLASS NEWS The freshman class welcomes a new member, For est Martin.

D., has recently been trans ferred to somewhere in New Mexico. * * * Did you know thatapublic school in Riverside, Cal., is called Chemawa? We dont know whether this Chemawa antidates the Chemawa of which we sing or not. We wish Bab would wan der over there some day and inquire ‘‘How come?” * * * Herman Q. Warjack, secretary of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribal council at Ft. Hall, Idaho, and a prominent citizen of the Blackfoot country, died recently. He graduated from Sherman in 1915. It is said of him that ‘‘as he said goodbye and moved silently away, one felt the departure of a fine spirit like the ceasing of good music.” A wonderful tribute. ♦ ♦ ♦ On Feb. 17 the North Dakota legislators were invited to the Bismarck Indian school where they were guests of the talented girls of that school. They were entertained by dancing, sing ing and readings. Then they were conducted about the school on a tour of inspection. To wind things up they were escorted by the young ladies to the school dining room where the hon orable gentlemen of North Dakota gave the acid test to the culinary products of Bismarck.
