They are easier to make than to KEEP. Now is the time to make good resolu tions, and now is the time to keep good resolutions. The friendly rivalry between the Ex celsior Society and the Hiawatha Club, helps both organizations. There is the friendliest feeling between them and yet a healthy rivalry. They behave liue gentlemen. Why is it that some girl i whisper, whisper all the time in school, and an noy the earnest, faithful students who come to school in order to study their lessons ? It is bad manners, and very sel fish conduct. "The Most Popular College Songs" is a collection of college songs new and old which we heartily recommend to all schools. It is published by Hinds, Noble and Eldridge of, New York City. The Glee Club of Chemawa would find great pleasure in singing them tuneful songs. The price is only 50 cents. 1907 came in as a Lion and Chemawa was greeted with its first snow storm of the year, which was followed by a down pour of rain which lasted for the two succeeding days. This storm extended through California, Oregon and Wash ington and railway traffic and telephone communication are entirely shut off. Fortunately, we have an electric car line and can get to Salem thereby. But the Southern Pacific bridge between us and the Capitol City is washed but and there is no communication at this writ ing on the North. But, Oh! how the sun did shine today when it broke through the clouds. Nonpareil Party The party given by the Nonpareil Literary Society in McBrideHall on the 27th of December was said to have been the greatest social success of the season. The girls' sitting room, where the party was held was beautifully decorated with fir boughs, mistletoe, ivy vines, vases of winter flowers and the crepe pa per of white and gold, representing the society colors, draped about the room. These along with the music of the piano transformed the room into a fairyland. At 10 o'clock the lights winked as a warning for the gueses to depart, so with many thanks to the young ladies for a most enjoyable time and bidding fare well to all, the guests departed. At 7:30P.M. the guests arrived and were received by Misses Souvigner and Mann. After they had all arrived, then began the merriment of the evening. Parlor games of all descriptions were played. Numerous amusements were in dulged in by the young people, while the old ones chatted. At 9 o'clock, Miss Chiloquin who act ed as hostess, announced that refresh ments were to be served. They consisted of ice-cream, two kinds of cake, dates and oranges.
