Chapel Program
The chapel service on December 8th, was very
splendid. After the flag salute, “ The Star Span
gled Banner,’’and Holy, Holy, H oly,” were sung.
The choir sang a number entitled ‘ ‘Valley of Mem
ories,” and the orchestra played the selection,
“ Dove Comes Stealing,” by Eincke. Mr. Eovell
sang a splendid solo, entitled, “ The Holy C ity.”
Miss Eckert was the guest speaker of the evening.
She told of the relations of one country with
another, mentioning several world conferences
of young people. Miss Eckert stressed four points
for better living. These were ( l ) courage, (2)
self-control, {3) strength, and (4) initiative.
After chapel, a reception was held at Winona
hall by the -Hi-Y and Y W C A honoring Miss
Eckert. Tea, cookies, and candied orange-peel
ings were served. A program was presented,
including two songs by George Comenote, a
hymn sung in the Sioux Indian language by
Adam Bearcub, Mylie Allman, and Viola Redelk,
a song,“ Thanks Be to G od,” by four members
of the quintette accompanied by Mrs. Turney,
and an Indian legend by Marjorie Skahan. All
the Y W C A girls sang, “ The Candles B urn.”
Miss Eckert expressed her appreciation of being
here. We wish to extend our welcome to Miss
Eckert to visit us again.

Football Banquet
The Senior Foods class gave a very enjoyable
banquet for the members of Chemawa’s football
team, and guests on December 4th, at Hawley
hall. There were 47 guests present, who heartily
enjoyed the swiss steak dinner. Guests who spoke
during the evening included Father O’Connell,
Supt. Jackson, Mr. Howard Maple of Salem,
Mr. Hauser, Mr. Sanders, Mr. Turney, Mr.
Mackie, Mr. Showalter, Mr. Bennett, who was
Toastmaster, and Mr. EaVatta. The football boys
thought the football season must have been very
worth while to have such a grand banquet served
to them.

Bridge Club
A group of employees who have met regularly
every two weeks for Bridge have just completed
the first series. It was agreed there would be no
prizes and no refreshments, but at the end of each
series, the losers were to entertain the winners
with a party with prizes and refreshments. Definite
plans have not been completed but there is a rumor
going around that it will be a week-end party at
Agate Beach. Scores have been kept and the losers
are Miss White, Mrs. Cronk, Mrs. Hoffmann, Mr.
Jackson, Mr. Shoulderblade, Mrs. Johnson, Miss
Shultz, Mr. Chase, and Miss Warner.

How Mr. Pulitzer Pronounced
His Own Name
It was from the handsome Irishman E dward J. G all
mayor of Laconia, N. H ., and editor of the
‘‘Lacona Evening Citizen,” that told this story:
‘‘Mr. E dson C. E astman , proprietor of a book store
at Concord, N. H ., told me of meeting the late J oseph
PULITZER in a stage coach on a day’s journey through
the White Mountains, in the eighties. Mr. and Mrs.
P ulitzer and Mr. and Mrs. E astman passed the time
pleasantly.
At the conclusion of the trip, Mr. E astman spoke of
his enjoyment of the company of the New York publisher,
but said there was one thing that troubled him. He
had not learned how to pronounce the publisher’s name.
Mr. P ulitzer replied: ‘What do you do when you wish
to open a door?’ ‘Lift the latch and push it,’ replied Mr.
E astman . ‘N o , pull it sir,’ replied the owner of the
New York World and St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
