NO. 9 A-l student at school and there is no doubt but what he will make the grade. ALUMNI HAVE “HEAP BIG TIME” AT THE LOG CABIN HOTEL Mr. James T. Ryan, Supt., Salem Indian School, Chemawa, Oregon. My dear Mr. Ryan: I am very much pleased to announce to my friends, school mates and former co-workers in the Service that I have been appointed factory representative of the Diamond Calk Horse shoe Company of this city. This company has been manufacturing a high-grade line of horseshoes and tools for upwards of 30 years. By a strict ad herence to the policy of “quality first’’ the Diamond trade mark has built up a prestige and good-will of national scope. Not withstanding these facts, however, this firm has not enjoyed any business from the Indian Service. For the first time in its history, this company is making an effort to procure the nice trade afforded by the Service. Even tually we hope to obtain the annual supply contract when we are invited to bid. In the meantime, we are sending you under separate cover the company’s catalog for your convenience in making your open-market purchases. As it has been the custom to buy this class of merchandise direct from the manufacturer, I am con fident that you will want from time to time to satisfy the emer gency requirements of your various departments. Very truly yours, Louis A. Youpe Myrtle Rhinehart, student nurse in Portland, has been chosen as manager for the year book. Mr. Arnold McKay, a former graduate who has been assistant to Mr. Shawver at the dairy for the past two years, was recognized for a more important post and the first of the month will undertake the duties as boys’ adviser at Ft. Lapwai sanatorium in Idaho. Mr. McKay has shown his initiative and industry as student and employee of this school and is recommended highly by those who have associated with him. He has wonder ful personality and his services as well as his departure will be missed by our school. In closing, we wish to extend congratulations to this young man and wish him the best of luck in his new field. Mr. Alexander LaFrambois, a graduate of Chemawa and also a graduate of a private Portland Art School, is being tried out by the Union Pacific in displaying his wares at the art of brush pushing. Alex was an Yes sir! ’Twas a reunion of old grads who met by chance while attending the annual senior ball Satur day night. Many stayed till Sunday and it was sug gested that we have a sort of get-together at the log cabin which met with the approval of all. Everyone donned old clothes and at 2:00 o’clock Sunday after noon we all strolled to the cabin. The group which were all former grads included: Charles Motchman, Essie Bedard, Warren Wilder, Marie Farron, Harold Masten, Frank Dumont, Mr. and Mrs. Edward, Pearl Boyd, Fred Rickard, Dorothy Mercier, Robert Thomas, Joseph White, Hally Bedard, Arnold Mckay, Vera Rogers, and Mrs. Margie (Martin) Emmons. The afternoon was spent in talking of old times with conversation which started something like this: Remember that time “Lefty” and .... were . . . . “Yeah!” says Charley Motchman, “I just happened to be there, ’ ’and is something old grads like to ‘spring’ on each other. It was a very enjoyable afternoon with marshmellow and “hot dog” roasting. A light dance was also had, the music being furnished by the one man orchestra, Joe White and his guitar. It will be most gratfying tolearn that the scribes in terviewed the group and all are properous and engag ed in some line of profession as: Artists, stenograph ers, boys’ advisers, beauty culture operators, printers, instructors, mechanics and some good cooks are re presented. It also happened that a tailor and barber could not prolong their stay and were unable to at tend the affair. So you see! Chemawa does not only put out a special class of workman but men and wo men from every walk of life.
