The football boys are in good practice
for the Vancouver game tomorrow with
the big soldiers. We hope they will win a
great victory to make up for losses in Cal
ifornia. One of Chemawa's old pupils in a letter
says: "I wish I was able to go to school
again, to my old home at Chemawa. I
often get homesick for Chemawa to hear
the band and all the nice music that they
have down there. This is a very dull
place."
Rev. L. Gaiser and Mr. John Hohf, of 1
Salem, made Chemawa a pleasant call
Wednesday. The gentlemen visited the
different departments and expressed
themselves as very much pleased with the
school.

inside, window casings put in, etc.
Mrs. S. E. Kuhn has returned from a.
visit to her former home at Klamath Falls,
Ore. While Mrs. Kuhn still loves her old
home she likes the climate and the sur
roundings of Chemawa - better than
Klamath Falls.
Levi Sorter was much in evidence in last
Saturday's game. As he sailed down the
line with head up and hair a flying, and
the pig-skin tucked snugly under his arm,
he won the applause of even the Albany
rooters.

been industrial teacher at the Puyallup
school, has been transferred to Warm
Springs, Ore., to act in the same, capacity.

al years ago and was an employe of this
school for a time. The position of indus
trial teacher has been abolished at
Puyallup.
Mrs. Maggie Mitchell resigned her posi
tion as assistant laundress last week and
left Monday morning for Fort Stanley,
Wash., where, she will make her future
home. Mrs. Mitchell posesses the respect
and friendship of every employe and pupil
in Chemawa and will be greatly missed by
all. Mrs. Woods will take her place until
a permanent appointment has been made.
Mrs. Theisz has handed us the following
names of girls, from tables No. 1 and 2,
who have kept the most orderly and neat
est looking tables in the dining hall
throughout the week: Addie Saylor,
Odessia Dodson, Wilsie Downie and Ida
Baldwin. All the girls deserve credit
and many have often had their tables just
as attractive as the above named girls at
times during the week, but not for so long
a time.
