$upp1ementXb Cbemawa Hmerican PRESENTATION CEREMONIES. The ceremonies of this year in the presentation of the gold medals to the ten heroes in the second annual Salem Portland relay race on May 2nd, 1908, and the presentation to the school of the Barr silver cup by the victorious team on Wednesday evening was m grand and joyous occasion long to be remembered by those present. The team, a bunch of mere boys, seven of whom occupied seats on the same oc casion and received medals for last year's race, occupied one side of the ros trum while the school band, which fur nished music for the evening, occupied the other side, and the seven siiver cups belonging to the school, filled with choice Chemawa roses, occupied the pul pit in the middle of the rostrum. Asst. Supt. Campbell acted as master of cere monies. It was an impromptu affair, and speech after speech was requested of the heroes, or made voluntarily from the enthusiastic audience, an appropriate song was sung by the Juniors and Sen-, iors, yells and cheers were given the in dividual members of the team, Supt. Chalcraft, Asst. Supt. Campbell, Mr. Larsen, Teabo, Saunders, all the train ers, the beef-steak-friers and all others interested in the success of the team and the 'race, and last of all three loud cheers for our good old school, "Chema wa." There will be a reception for the team and friends later. MUSICAL EVENING Wednesday evening the Girls' Man dolin Club gave a concert in the Assem bly Hall which reflects great credit on the" members and their teacher, Mr. Turney. The selections were from "Musical Comedies'' and the rapt atten tion of the audience was a sufficient testi monial to the merits of the perform ance. Mr. Turney, accompanied by Miss Ger trude Brewer, pianist, gave some violin numbers of his own composition and they were most enthusiastically encored. The last number on the program was a Mo zart Sonata in E-Flat for violin and piano given by Mr. Turney and Miss Brewer and it was indeed a musical treat which made the audience very loth to leave. Mr. Campbell expressed the wish of all present by requesting the Club to give another concert two weeks from that date. We expect that the Girls' Mando lin Club will contribute much to the in terest and entertainment of the school. M. E. H. Brevities Examination is all over in the aca demic department.
