Indian School, Chemawa Oregon. <I,Address all communications to Allan Shepard, Manager 50 Cts per Annum Subscription LOCAL Essie Bedard, graduate of ’32, paid her friends at Chemawa a visit last week. The members of the Federal Employees’ Union en joyed a party in the Y. W. room of the Protestant build ing on March 23. At day break on March 17, Chemawa was pleasantly awakened by the music of the Chemawa band celebrat ing its 41st birthday. New band boys were initiated by appearing in uniform all day. Mrs. L- L. Vosburgh’s brother, Mr. Edward Cob han, from New York is visiting at Chemawa. This is Mr. Cobhan’s first visit to the west and he says that he finds the west a “great” place. “Igloo,” a picture about Eskimos, and filmed en tirely in the North by Universal, was the last picture to be shown here. An all-Eskimo cast was featured and was of great interest to those who viewed it. Dr. John N. Alley, superintendent of the Tacoma sanitorium, and his wife and daughter, were recent visitors at Chemawa. Doctor Alley’s visit here was of ficial. While here the doctor and his family also visited the State Hospital and scenic points. Benjamin Pickutarik, member of the class of ’32 .de parted on March 21 for Pine Ridge, South Dakota, where he will work as utility clerk for Supt. McGreg or. He worked as an assistant here for a time and is reported to have done his work well. On Tuesday, March 21, the commercial students were fortunate in having Mr. Smith from Salem give them a talk on the values and advantages of insurance. This was beneficial to the students, for a knowledge of insurance is required in their business training. Mr. Smith is an agent of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Last Sunday night the students were shown slides of pictures taken in the holy land. Professor S. B. Laughlin of Willamette university, who was res ponsible for the beautiful photography, gave a lecture in connection with the pictures. Many of the places mentioned in the bible were shown as they appeared at the present time. After chapel Professor Laughlin exhibited several exquisite pieces of lace and other examples of fine needle work and weaving collected by him during his stay in Palestine. The girls chorus was invited to the “Y” in Salem for a swimming party last Friday evening. The party was a “thank you” from the “Y” for a very success ful and much appreciated program of a week or two ago. A wonderful time was had by all, the tank being reserved for the girls. Miss Wentzel and Mr. and Mrs. Mason very kindly furnished the transportation. Miss Judd was “chief ducker.” Clare Sam who has been in the hospital for several days, went to Toppenish, Wash., to enter the Yakima sanitorium. We hope that Clare will make a speedy recovery and be back with us next year. Eighteen of our boys and girls were relieved of their tonsils and adenoids this week and Clementine Hughus decided she’d be better off without her appendix. All are do ing splendidly and will be with us soon again. At a recent chapel program Chemawa was fortunate in having as speaker, Dr. Carl Gregg Doney, president of Willamette university. The topic of his speech was: “What are you going to do with your ability and talents?” He spoke in his usual able and kindly man ner. Dr. Doney, one of the great educators of the west, has always been a friend to Chemawa and we, as well as Willamette, will feel his loss when he retires at the end of the present term. FROM THE DORMITORIES The Mitchell hall boys have organized two shinny club teams. They were supposed to play Brewer hall but it appears that the Brewer boys are saving their shins for a dance—or something. . . Our indoor base ball team isn’t organized yet, but Wilson Bobb will soon have his team together before long. . . Mitchell and Brewer responded to the call of spring by drilling. They are preparing for Sunday flag salute. At Winona: Monday, March 20, Dorothy Adams left for her home in Montana. Wednesday, March 23, Jessie Saux left for her home in Washington. Jessie was called home on account of her mother’s illness. We hope she finds her mother much improved in health. At McBride: Clementine Hughus was operated on for appendicitis last Wednesday morning. We hope she recovers soon. Delphia Gracy and Florence Allman are back to the building. Both were operated on for appendicitis and are now getting along splendidly. At Hawley: Three of the Hawley hall girls had their tonsils removed last Wednesday morning. They were Alfreda Swann, Marjorie Bird and Pearl Holmes. All are doing fine.
