Two of our boys, Wilson Cook and Edward Franklin, left this past week to work in the IECW at Warm- Springs. Edward plans to use his earnings to pay his way through Moler Barber College in Portland. A recent wedding of interest to Chemawaites is that of Laura Morigeau to Mr. Joesph Matte. Both are Chemawa grads and also were prominent students in our large family. Joe was assistant plumber to Mr. Kunkel for the past three years and he resigned a few weeks ago previous to his marriage. He is at present located at Arlee. Montana. Chemawa friends wish the young couple all the luck in the world. H onor R oll CHAPEL (Those students who have high averages in their classes) In chapel Sunday, Nov. 11, the program was ded icated to the Armistice. Mary lyall sang “Roses of Picardy” by Wood, a rec itation, “TheUnknown Soldier,” was given by Edna Bacon. The orchestra played two selections, the first, in memory of World War veterans, “The Unknown Soldier,” by William H. Woodin; second, “Two Gui tars” by Harry Hartick. Supt. Ryan introduced Mr. Monohan of Salem as the principal speaker of the evening. Mr, Monohan, who is an ex-service man, told the assembly in an int- teresting manner of some of his experiences during that crisis of sixteen years ago. His talk dealt mainly writh evils of war. He also stated that Armistice day is the most important day of the calendar for every ex-service man. Dr. Steeves, the Chemawa family phyiscian and a World War veteran wTas also present. Concluding, the assemby sang war-time choruses. In class recently, the girls from the civics class pre tended to be outside speakers and gave talks on school loyalty, courtesy, sportmanship, etc. Ruth Henry, who pretended to be Miss Bronson, made such a good talk on ‘ ‘cooperation, ’ ’ that she was encouraged by her classmates to repeat the talk in chapel which she con sented and did so. It was a fine simple talk, striking every point on wrhat a person has to do if he expects to get along in the world. We would like to have more talks from the students on any topic which will go into making Chemaw’a a better school. The orchestra played “Indian Impressions” com piled and arranged by Mr. Melovidoff.
