CAddress all communications to Robert Thomas, Manager Miss Myrtle Crofoot, a former Chemawaite and now a student in nurse training at Wenatchee, Wash., was a visitor on Monday and Tuesday of this week.

She was a guest of Miss Bedard. 50 Cta per Annum Subscription LOCAL Mr. and Mrs. Melovidoff attended a concert in Portland Monday night. Mr. and Mrs. Mason visited at the home of her mother in Tacoma over the week-end.

Mrs. Florence Strom, mother of Hazel, Theodore and Aubrey Strom, visited at Chemawa for a few days last week and witnessed the senior play. Mr. James McKay, a graduate of ’30 and now boy’s adviser at the Lapwai Sanitorium, was a visitor last week. He was on a special errand, taking a pupil from the sanitorium to Siletz.

Lavatta, placement and guidance officer, is said to be recovering wonderfully from a major operation in the Tacoma Hospital in Washington. The American did not know of his plight until recently but feel justified in publishing the better side, that of his recovery. One of the most enjoyable occasions which comes once each year is a Hallowee’n dance given the students. It was well attended and music was furnished by the “Campus Troubadors.” A bountiful repast of one of those ala-things called “confetti” was extravagantly dished out by Misses Cruise and Hoffman. Miss Charlotte Jordan, who is attending Linfield College at McMinnville, was a visitor on our campus on Oct. 26 and 27. Miss Josephine Pease, of Lodge Mr. Julian Larnard, who has been camp manager at Yakima, Wash., has returned to assist Mr. Rickard and also take over the duties as coach. We’re all glad to have you back, Mr. Larnard. The officers staged their annual party last Friday evening and it was an entertaining occasion for all. After a short period of dancing a program was present ed jointly by the boys and girls and refreshments were served as the joyful affair came to a close. SENIOR NOTES The seniors are becoming very active. Already we have put over a very sucessful play and a Hallowee’n dance. The senior staff has held meetings during the past few days for the purpose of planning for the senior carnival, and have decided upon putting on a carnival that will be out of the ordinary. SENIOR PLAY On October 27, the senior class presented a play en titled “A Bunch of Fun.” There was a large crowd and from the applause we trust they enjoyed “The Bunch.” Louis Orr made such a good doctor and Hazel Strom a good maid that we wonder if they won’t change their professions. Laura Walters certainly displayed fine dramatic abilities. We wish to thank Mrs. Melovidoff, Mr. Kunkle and Mr. Turner for helping us in presenting it, and also Mr. Hall for helping us in furnishing the music as part of the entertainment. After the play the cast enjoyed refreshments served at the practice house. The proceeds of the play amounted to $49.50 for the benefit of the annual. BEAUTY PARLOR Edna Nelligan, Evelyn Sandberg, and Dorothy Mercier took the state test in Portland. We left for Portland at seven in the morning and on our way back we stopped at the Bedard home where we enjoyed a nice meal. Fred Rickard came after us and he also had the pleasure of enjoying a meal with us. On our return trip Miss Bedard brought her Spanish Guitar and we all sang songs accompanied by Edna Nelligan, on the guitar. We will not get a reply as to the outcome of our tests but in the meanwhile we are hoping for the best.
