FORMER STUDENTS BREAKING IN LIME LIGHT

Duluth, Minnesota.
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.
INDIAN AGED 125 REFUSES TO DIE
On January 24, Chief El Captain Kelley, last of the
Yuma Indian Chiefs, believed to be 125 years old, and
the only survivor of the battle between the Yuma In
dians and General John Freemont’s fourth expedition
to the West, revived the next day after being pronoun
ced dead the night before.
The aged warrior, who after the capture of Free
mont’s entire army which later resulted in their sub
sequent release by the Indians, after the first peace
treaty had been signed by the United States, was one
of the guides who escorted Freemont across the desert
on his way to the west coast.—The Statesman.
