Miss Newell gave a “Kitchen Shower” for Miss
Hazel Loughrey Friday afternoon at the practice house
Refreshments were served by the practice house girls
who are presiding there now.
On December 10, Mrs. Smith will open a South-
Western school of Beauty Culture in Marshfield with
a class of 25 students. We wish her every success in
her new enterprise. We are sure she is an A-l teacher.
Many ex-Chemawaites attended the senior carnival
last Saturday. Among whom were: Frank Dumont,
Warren Wilder, Larry Orton, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel
Orton. Some of the feminites included: Pearl Boyd,
Alice Bachman, Emma Celestine, Rachel French, all
of Portland.
Mr. and Mrs. Sherman, Mr. and Mrs. Mason, Mr.
and Mrs. Larsen, Mr. and Mrs. Shawver and Mr. and
Mrs. Melovidoff were dinner guests of Mr. aud Mrs.
Ryan on November 30. There were three tables served
and they were all beautifully decorated with chrysan
themums. It was a three course dinner with turkey
as a main dish. A game of fan-tan was played after
the delicious meal.
Mrs. Wilcox made a short visit with Mr. and Mrs.
Earl Smith in Marshfield. She had a very enjoyable
time. Sunday they went all along the beach and even
visited the lighthouse. Mrs.Smith will make a short
visit here the latter part of this week, when she will
go on to Oregon City and Vancouver to visit her son
and daughter.
CHAPEL
In chapel Sunday, November the 25th, the orchestra
played two request numbers. (1) “O Sole Mio” by
di Capua; (2) “La Paloma” by Yradies. The choir
sang ‘ ‘ Praise Ye the Lord ” by Woodcock. Supt. Ryan
made a few announcements and chapel came to a close.
In chapel last Sunday the excercise began by sing
ing a hymn, “Sing Them Over Again to Me,” fol.
lowed by “Dear Old Oregon.”
The orchestra played “War March of the Priests,”
by Mendelsohn. The choir sang “Thou Lord Most
High,” by Woodcock.
Two of our students, Vivian Barnaby and Dorothea
Purser gave brief talks on school loyalty and sports
manship respectively.
Supt. Ryan made announcements and in a brief talk
stressed the importance of “keeping your head” even
though the temptation to do something on the left is
strong. It is probable that no harm is meant but one
little prank leads to another and the result is sometimes
disastrous. Breaking a window on our school grounds
is a childish trick. Not saying it has been done by
our students, for there are a number of young child
ren on the campus who are not Chemawa students and
not perceiving the trouble and cost to replace one, likes
to test his “throwing aim” to hear the nice noise it
makes and then look around to see if anyone saw him.

B
If you can keep your head when all about you.
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you!
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting;
Or being lied about don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating
And yet don’t look too good: nor{talk too wise
If you can dream—and not make dreams your
master,
If you can think—and not make thought your
aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And beat those two imposters just the same!
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools;
Or watch the things you’ve given your life to,
broken
And stoop and build»them up with worn-out
tools,
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common
touch;
If neither foe nor loving friend can hurt you,
If all men count with you,but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything in it
And—which is more—you’ll be a man my som
