THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
7
Nobody would have believed that "It
was the Dutch" boys were Indians.
They had the very best kind of a Dutch
get up and were the hit of the evening.
Mr. Beck the tailor made the costumes
for "The Mistletoe Bough" and they
were very correct in style the old col
onial style and very becoming to the
wearers.
Mrs. Campbell received a letter from
Mr. Stelzner. They were at Red Rluff
Cal., visiting friends of Colonel Randlett.
They send their regards to all Chemawa
friends.
Bessie Chiloquin's recitation was
heartily encored on Wednesday night,
last week, and she gave in response,
"Especially Jim," was one of the best
ever heard here.' Bessie will make a
fine elocutionist.
Mr. Campbell had three chickens for
Sunday dinner and Mr. Spink had hard
boiled eggs and sardines. However,
early Monday morning Mr. Spink order
ed 4 pig's feet, spare ribs and bacon.
Piggies' trotter? evidently were in good
shape for tht reached the mile post
down the railroad track that evening,
after supper.
The office has a new way of sending us
the pupils' itenn. On a lon-g sheet of
paper were pinned many slips of paper
each slip contained a pupil's item. We
ijreatly appreciate this idea as it facili
tates our work some way or another.
The pins are what we are after. Now
don't ask us to return the pins.
' ill'. Campbell has received a number
df interesting photographs from Mr. Cof
fin, the first superintendent of Chtmawa.
They show the first pupils, of the school
chopping down trees and getting the
plae: cleared. ""There is a picture of the
tirst gradua ting class, the band, the tem
porary quarters erected for girls and
boys and many other exceedingly inter
esting photographs.
Mr. Swartz surprised the printers by
telling them a few points about type.
He seemed to know all the names of the
type; and just before he went out he said:
"I think I ought to come' in once in a
while and show you boys how to do job
work, but it was quite a long time since
I used to work in a printery." There
he went out and one of our student
printers or "devil" said: "You all right
kid!"
