LOCALS
Last Sunday morning after Chapel
the boys remained and listened to in
teresting addresses given by different
employes.
Chemawa defeated Albany College last
evening by the score of 23 to 22 in a fast
game of basketball played at Albany,
This is one uf the Willamette Valley
League games.
The printers' basketball team desire
to thank the laundresses for laundering
their white duck trousers, and the tailors
for pressing them. These favors are
certainly 'appreciated by us.
Chemawa has reasons for complaint
about mail facilities. We are fortunate
enough tc have mail from the north once
a day. We can only hope for better
facilities or as good as were formerly en
joyed. Those who attend chapel and other
public gatherings will notice that the
boys do not wear overalls or basketball
shoes. The writer has noticed that
quite a number of the girls invariably
wear large red aprons, and tennis shoes
to chapel, their hair being done up with
lead pencils.
The Excelsior club held a meeting in
their usual place Thursday evening and
the house was called to order: Roll was
called, a few members being absent.
There were a number of new members
enrolled in the club. Then we went on
with our program, which was a false
trial, that Mr. So-and So ran his auto
over speed, killing a dog in his neigh
borhood. As time was limited the trial
was closed, and will be brought' up be
fore a jury at the next meeting.
