THE
CHEMA WA
HOPEWELL, 12—rCHEMAWA, 1.
On last Saturday our baseball team
journied to Springvalley to enjoy the
day at a picnic ano at the same time
play the Hopewell Maroons On arriv­
ing there we heard a few speeches made
by Gov. West and members of that
school district. At 12:00 o’clock we
were invited to dinner by some of the
families at the picnic, each family tak­
ing from one to three boys. About
2:30 o’clock we proceeded to the county
road where races of every description
were held, in which a few ot our boys
carried off prizes. Powers, in the 100-
yd. dash, won a beautiful gold medal;
while Dunbar won a hat which be re­
ceived at G. W. Johnson’s place in Sa­
lem; Wilcox, in the high jump, took first
place and received a fine horsewhip.
Next we were .taken in an auto to a
piece of land freshly plowed and clod-
mashed. At 4:30 o’clock the game was
called. Our boys, unable to play in oat
fields like some of the people in that
part of the country, made many errors
and many times had to stop and dig out
the ball while the Maroons were run­
ning bases. AU the same we had a
good time from start to finish. The
game ended with the score standing as
mentioned above.
On Monday evening a field meet was
held between the smaller boys of Brewer
Hall and the boys of Miss Wolfe’s build­
ing. All events were taken up from the
mile in the distant runs to the shot put
in weights
It was very interesting
from start to finish for the onlookers.
The meet ended with the score standing
53 to 41 in fav. r of the Brewer Hall
boys.

WINONAS’ PARTY.
Of the many well ordered and properly
arranged parties of the season the one
given by the Winona Society last Friday
evening stands without equal. The rooms
of the domestic science department were
tastefully decorated with pennants and
with the colors of the society, pink and
white. Beautiful flowers greeted one
from all directions and the little cozy
corners reminded one of dreamland. The
innovation of providing lemonade for the
bashful swains by the young ladies made
a hit and most of them took the hint and
never allowed their throats to become
parched because of talking. The evening
was spent in playing flinch, checkers,
authors, pit, and listening to the strains
of sweet music.
At an early hour the guests were call­
ed to the dining hall and amid streamers
of pink and white, and bright electric
lights, were treated to another sight that
made all feel perfectly at home. The
pictures of the wall suggested all the
good things to eat which we found placed
before us in an abundance, the handi­
work of the young ladies, members of
the society. The pictures of beautiful
women were there, but none compared
with the pictures of loveliness that sur­
rounded the tables that night with looks
of contentment, mirthful laughter and
joy supreme the girls of Winona were all
of these At each plate were little cards
bearing a message originally designed by
the president of the society, Miss Lowry.
Miss Royer, critic, is to be congratulat­
ed upon the showing made by the Wi
nonas. This is their first year and they
have in this short time set the pace for
others to follow.
After having passed one of the most
enjoyable evenings of the season all de­
parted for their quarters.
