and found a very big appetizing chicken dinner
waiting to be eaten. We all came in stood at our
places until after the minute of silence in which we
say grace.
I hen we sat down and ate the very tasty dishes
which had been prepared.There was the chicken with
its dressing, sweet potatoes, gravy, buns, buttered
peas, celery, coffee, and jello. After this was eaten
we all managed to get out of the dining hall and we
agreed it was a good dinner.

The program started off with the singing of
Chistmas carols by the audience. Then, our own
students put on several musical numbers. We were
also well entertained by the numbers the Silverton
quartet sang.
The master-of-ceremonies kept in touch with Santa
Claus as he flew down from the North Pole in his
jet plane. Santa radioed us that he had to refuel at
Portland. As all of us sang "Jingle Cells” old Santa
blew in and than he settled down to distributing
bags of goodies for students from the first to ninth
grades. (Sometimes I think I was born too soon.)

Mrs. Swink Leaves Us
On December 15 the depot was closed and the
genial, obliging Mrs. Swink left us. Before she left,
She wrote a farewell poem for us. These are some
of the lines:
I liked living here with you
But the "Suffering Pacific’* knew
That it was time to say Adieu.
You have been lovely to me, I know
And 1 am saying as I go:
I thank you, Cheinawa, and Cheerio!
To our good friend, Mrs. Swink, we say, "Good
bye
May
God bless J you.”
