XXXVII CHEMAWA yO C A TIO N A L SCHOOL, CHEMAWA, ORE., NOV. 13, 1936 NO. 2 JUDGE CAREY REVIEW S HISTORY OF NORTHWEST Judge Carey Is A Prominent Oregon Attorney And Historian Miss Virginia Wolf, one of the student leaders elected by the girls to act as chapel chairm an, introduced the speaker, Judge Carey, from Portland, last Sunday even ing. Besides interest in law Judge •Carey has for-his hobby, history, espe cially the history to the great northwest. He gave his audience a birdseye view of the old Oregon territory. Among the things he told was the story of the Ameri can acquisition of this old Oregon territory. It is interesting to know that Captain G ray was the first white man to sail as far north as what is now Oregon and it w asn’t until two hundred years later that other daring, sailors reached the n o rth western coast. - President Jefferson realized the value rof the great Oregon territory so he a r ranged for an expedition, . headed by Lewis and Clark, to be sent into this Ore gon territory by lan d . They made friends with the different tribes of Indians and were fortunate in having for their guide a Shoshone Indian, Sacajawea, who was very helpful in guiding these explorers through the great Oregon Country. Because his time was limited Judge Carey was able to give the audience only high lights of the Northwest.

PAUL T. JACKSON ADDRESSES SALEM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Chemawa is still solvent despite its recent recessions and its possibilities for training Indian youth seems assured at present but it will pay Salem people who are interested in its welfare to make their interest an active one, Supt. Jackson told the Salem Chamber of Commerce at their luncheon Monday. Mr. Jackson cited Several instances and proved that there was a need for such a school in the Northwest for Indian boys and girls, who would be benefited by an industrial education as Chemawa now provides. The Indian has native manual skill and the government is now providing education in various trades to the Indian youth unhampered by traditional curric ular requirements of other high schools, Mr. Jackson said. The program included a concrete dem onstration o f the Indian’s ability to benefit by musical training. The school orchestra, directed by Mr. R uthyn T u r ney played several numbers and vocal solos were presented by H enry' Sijohn and Francis Thomas. Several girls were guests at the luncheon and were intro duced. Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you. LYCEUM PROGRAM IS ENTERTAINING TO ALL Four Act Play, “ New Brooms/’ Is Featured For the pleasure and benefit of the students of Chemawa, a, lyceum play, “ New Broom s,” was held in the audi torium op Friday, November 7, It was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone present. Mr. Bates, Mr. Niland, Miss Marsh, Mr. Simpson, Miss Wheeler, and Mrs. Dause were the characters in the performance. “ New Brooms,” portrayed a story in which Mr. Bates was a very grouchy man with a son, Thomas, who was just the opposite. Fvery time Mrs. Dause, the charity woman, appeared, everyone in the audience laughed because she was such a comical person. Much to the sur prise of the audience, -as the play progressed, Tom and his father changed characters for Tom became grouchy and his father became pleasant.' The play as a whole was very interest ing and somewhat romantic. The characters all portrayed their roles in a very entertaining manner. More pro grams like “ New Brooms” will be of benefit to the Chemawa students who all considered the performance worthwhile.
