IN MEMORIAM
▲AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
REGINALD TATSHAMA
During a lifetime there comes to everyone, an hour
of need—need of sympathy, understanding, and prayer.
To Chemawa, this hour of need came when word of the
death
of
Reginald Tatshama wTas received on
March 5. Reginald passed away in the Newberg hos­
pital a few days after he received injuries in an automo­
bile mishap.
Reginald was from Nespelem Washington. He
was fourteen years old, and in the eighth grade. He
ranked high in all classes, and Roy Scout activities. It
might be said that Reginald’s motto might have been
“ If a thing is worth doing it is worth doing well,” for
he was a very reliable hoy. He never shirked a job—al-
wavs “on the spot,” willing to help. He was on the first
team in Grade school basketball, and showed splendid
sportsmanship and ability. Reginald’s splendid manners,
kindness, and friendliness showed that the education
only a mother can teach, was outstanding. A memorial
service was held in the auditorium on the afternoon of
March 5, for Reginald
So, though no more his smiling face we’ll see. his spirit
remains in the hearts of his many, many friends, and
our memories of him will be cherished ones.
GLORIA HARSH
Sorrow again prevailed at Chemawa, when little Gloria
Harsh, grade school student from Pendleton, Oregon,
passed away on March 11, following a two-weeks’ illness.
Gloria’s mother was with her for a few davs prior to
Gloria’s death. Her funeral was held in Pendleton.
Gloria was in the sixth grade, and her work was average.
She was a member of Mrs. Pepper’s 4 H Club, and was
progressing very well. She was a very nice, quite girl,
who was alwavs willing to co-operate, and help in any
way she could. She was kind to those about her.
A memorial service was held Sunday morning, March
15, in the Protestant chapel. Several grade school girls,
bore candles in her memory, and a girls quartette sang
two selections. The chapel was very beautifully decorated
in white blossoms. Although Gloria has passed on, she
will be with us spiritually, and someday we will be with
her again.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Chapel Program
For the chapel program on Sunday, March 2,
Mr. Jackson secured some movies illustrating de­
sirable and undesirable points to remember in
applving for a job. Mr. Wayne D. Harding, Mar­
ion County 4-H Club Leader, operated the pro­
jector. Of the points given a person should remem­
ber to present himself in such a manner as to ‘ ‘sell”
his qualities to the prospective employer.
First, thoroughly know the work for which
you apply—learn it through study and practical
experience. Second, show enthusiasm or a great
interest in this particular work. Next, dress appro­
priately for the occasion—don’t over do things
with party clothes, nor merely throw a costume
together. Try to get a neat, well-fitted suit, that
will emphasize ability to do things neatly and
precisely, and then, go into an office, with a spark­
ling personality—be cheerful, smile! Don’t plead
crbeg for work. This does not tend to show the
prospective employer your abilities as a leader.
If you have been turned down once or twice,
don’t be discouraged—don’t give up the ship! Go
backagainand again, making a better appearance
each time, until success is yours. Try for more
than one position—from the bottom of the ladder
up. If you are offered a job that doesn’t quite
come up to your expectations, accept that pos­
ition for we must climb-climb a high, steep hill,
before we come to the valleys of Success. But
remember—S M ILE!
On Marchiò, Mr. Abe Doerksen, a member of
our own staff, presented a splendid program at
Chapel. Mr. Doerksen and his choir sang several
numbers, including songs by theentire choir,
and numbers by a womons’ quartette and mens’
quartette, and a mixed quartette. Mr. Doerksen
played a very beautiful spiritual number on his
electric guitar. The program was very enjoyable.
We express our appreciation to Mr. Doerkson
and his choir for the time they so willingly gave
for our enjoyment.
Rickard Resigns Position
Mr. Fred Rickard, Boys’ Adviser, will be leav­
ing us soon as he is going to enter school at the
University of Oregon on March 24. Mr. Rickard
went to school here and graduated in 1929. Three
years later, Mr. Rickard became the Assistant
Boys’ Adviser and in a few years he was promoted
to the position of Adviser. During the summer
of each of the last few years be has been attend­
ing the University of Oregon, the Agricultural
State College of Colorado, and other Indian Ser­
vicesummerschools. He states that the main rea­
son for leaving Chemawa and entering college is
to further his education and to obtain a degree be­
fore going to work again.
To Mr. Rickard, we wish great success, for he
has been well-liked and respected by Chemawa
students and employees. The McNary hall boys
shall miss the stern, yet cheerful manner in which
he supervised the activities of the boys in McNary
hall. We shall all want to hear great things of
him after he leaves because he is a graduate of
Chemawa and a good adviser.
