The Misses Charlotte Jordon and Josephine Pease of Linfield college, McMinnville, Ore., spent a pleasant Thanksgiving at Chemawa with friends. Mrs. Charles E. Larsen’s Thanksgiving was made very pleasant by the visit of her mother, Mrs. E. A. Loughrey, and her sisters who make their home in Indianola, Wash. Edward Nanpooia, a former student, is working, presumably with the I ECW, surveying land between the Coulee dam and Nespelem, Wash., preparatory to building a road between these two points. Miss Antoinette White and Georgie “Pumpkin” Bent were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hauser and family on Thanksgiving and in the evening they attended the program of the music clubs at Winona Hall.

Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Mason recently attended an ice hockey game in Portland between the Portland Buck- aroos and the Edmonton Eskimos. They are ardent hockey fans now that they have discovered the fastest and most exciting game known to man. The tailors, under the critical eye of their instructor, Mr. Tames, are up to their cars in work, mostly suits and trousers for various members of our large Che mawa family. We are informed that Frank Amyotte is expressing his passion for flannel cloth in a pair of flannel trousers of a striking design. A host of employees and their guests enjoyed a very fine dinner on Nov. 30 at the club dining room. By actual count there were some 52 persons served which caused the club kitchen mistress and her staff no little amount of work but they were amply repaid for their labor by the generous and sincere praise of the meal by the people fortunate enough to be present at that time. Mr. Joseph Matte and Mr. Arnold McKay were Portland visitors last Saturday. Margarete Drew left Chemawa last Tuesday for a visit at her home in Grand Ronde. Bernice Clairmont visited in Woodburn during the Thanksgiving holiday with friends. Miss Newell had as guests for Thanksgiving dinner Charlotte Jordan and Josephine Pease.

Miss Semanski was the guest of Miss Wallacs, dean of women at Willamette, on Nov. 24, and visited all around the university where she has numerous friends.

A. as honorary members Tuesday evening Novem ber 28. After the service a light lunch was served. Last Tuesday Miss Semanski and Mrs. Wilcox were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. James T. Ryan at the home of the superintendent. Both ladies de clared that they never had a more cheerful and sat isfying turkey dinner and were especially pleased with the way the entire meal was served by Bernice Clairmont. Incidently, they informed us that Mrs. Ryan is looking very much like her former self and feeling just that way also.
