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.
