THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
-7
A HAPPY GATHERING
Again the Seniors enjoyed another
social event, when Mrs. Campbell, prin
cipal teacher, gave a party in honor of
the aforesaid "to be" Alumnus, last
Thursday evening. We have passed
through various stages of student activi
ties, and attended various social gather
ings, but this was the most enjoyable
time we have ever spent; in fact, there
was something doing all the time.
In the first, place as each member of
the faculty arrived we had an introduc
tion, shortly after which the gentlemen
made suggestions, asking for someone to
sing a solo, but instead of that the
motion was transferred that Margaret
Lowry should give a piano ?olo, which
she did. This started the fun, when we
all introduced ourselves to our invited
friends.
Next in order was a "guessing game"
consisting of fifteen questions entitled
"Pass the Pie." Miss Royer, one of the
teachers, received the first ladies prize
a beautiful vase; and Mr. Bovven received
the gentleman's prize, a book. Harry
Queachpalma received one of the con
solation prizes and Mary Loftus received
the other. These consolation prizes
were indeed a consolation, as they were
pies, filled with juicy blackberries. The
letter S (for Seniors) was on each pie.
Enjoyable music' was furnished dur
ing the evening. Miss Irene Campbell
and Miss Gertrude Brewer presided at
the piano and their fine playing was en
joyed by all of us. Margaret Lowry,
Dollie Case and Martin Sampson of '08
were the principal musicians among the
pupils. In the meantime pur,ch was in
readiness for ihose who wanted it. Lit
tle Neta Jones was kept busy serving it
to the boys and girls. Lunch was served
about 11 o'clock. Mrs. Campbell and
Miss Irene were assisted by Gussie
Cameron and Mattie Zimmerman, and
the Seniors and their friends surely did
justice to the bountiful supply of cake,
ice cream and strawberries served to
them.
The decorations of the home were in
the class colors, cream and white. Cream
and white roses were everywhere,
the class pennant presented by Mrs.
Campbell being in the reception hall.
Chemawa pennants and red . and white
bunting were hung around the room.
' Everybody was laughing and having a
good time every minute of the evening.
After the luncheon, the happy crowd
again discovered a new scheme of form
ing a firmer and closer friendship, by
passing the question papers around for
signatures of those who were present,
and after we were through the employees
passed out and all thanked Mrs. Camp
bell for the enjoyable evening spent.
The students then took their departure
for their respective quarters and thank
ed Mrs. Campbell for the evening like
wise. The event is long to be remember
ed, especially by the Seniors. Senior.
