Bishop Bruce B axter Speaks
on Success
On October 27th, during chapel in the audi­
torium, Bishop Bruce Baxter gave a very splendid
talk on “ Success is Where You Find I t ,” which
was very interesting and educational. All who
attended chapel enjoyed his talk, and learned a
motto which could well be applied at Chemawa,
“ Enter to learn; Depart to serve.”
After the program in the auditorium, the Senior
class held a reception for Bishop Baxter in Winona
hall. Guests included Bishop and Mrs. Baxter,
Mr. and Mrs. Hull, all of Salem; Supt. and Mrs.
Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Larsen, Mr. and Mrs,
James, the Misses Selma and Orva Hoffmann,
Dr. Faxon, Mrs. Turney, and many others.
Refreshments were served, and a brief program
was presented. The program included an Indian
song by the Girls’ Quintette; an Indian Legend
by Marjorie Skahan; the song, “ Home on the
Range,” by the Senior boys, and the song ‘ ‘Sierra
Sue’ ’ by the Senior girls. The evening ended by
the entire group singing, “ God Bless America.”

P resid ential Election
The Social Science classes sponsored a regis­
tration and voting system similar to the usual
procedure of general elections.
The secretaries of the Home Rooms acted as
official registrars, and students fifteen years or
older registered with their own Home Room reg­
istrar on October 31, and November 1.
The Home Rooms were chosen the Home Pre­
cincts required on the registration cards. The
registrars listed their registrants of their Home
Room alphabetically,and registered students went
to polls and voted secretly by ballot at the high
school building on November 5.

students in favor of the Democratic ticket.

T hat’s just another name for “ swelled head.”
It was used by K nu TE R ockne when talking to
his football players. He said it was a most dan­
gerous malady, rendering the victim practially
useless as a football player until he was cured. The
serum treatment used by R ockne consisted of
the ridicule of his teammates, the student body
and the boy’s best girl. R ockne was always sus­
picious of the player who formed the habit of
looking into the grandstand.—S hining L ines
