The meeting last Thursday was very enthusiastic ' from beginning to end. It seemed that vaca tion had done the members a lot of good; as if they had gathered and stored enough material for the occasion. The speeches made by the newly-elected officers were very encouraging. The question -box afforded the society much pleasure. Altho' it made many of the members blush, the enjoyment derived from it was worth remembering. At just about the close of this interesting meeting the acceptance from the Non pareil, of a challenge for a series of three public debates came. . It was applauded and cheered, showing how eager the members are to debate with the other K society. As the first meeting of the New Year has prdven such a success , they have resolved to make the rest of the gatherings just as profitable and lively. CHALLENGE Chemawa, Ore., Jan. 16. 1908. Editor American: We, the tailor boys, hereby challenge any shop team, to a game of basket ball, to be played on any open date at the gymnasium, sub ject to the approval of the superintend ent. Michel Wilson, Captain Tailors' B. B. Team. I am glad that I came to Chemawa to school for what little I have learned is more than I would have learned at home in three years or more. Walter McGibbon is the best fireman we ever had on the morning shift. We all hope he will stay with his job be cause he is a first-class fireman. The engineers are all glad that they have a new engine to run the fan so they will have steam all over the grounds, especialy at McBride Hall. You all know the rule, "no steam, no social."
