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. The first,
“Rain Dance,” this is an authenic Indian song re
