person. We are poor on description, but take our word for it that it
was a finely and artistically decorated building. Many outlandish
costumes were in evidence, but there were also some beautiful and valu
able dresses worn by the girls Indian costumes of rare qualities. All in
all, our Halloween ball was a most pleasing affair.
Miss Mollie V. Gaither for more than two years was at Chemawa in
the capacity of principal teacher. This fall she was promoted to the
superinteftdency of the Springfield, So. Dak.', school. We are informed
that this is a nice school in a beautiful location. On November 14th
Miss Gaither took her departure for her new field. Knowing that she
was soon to depart a large number of her friends gave her a farewell sur
prise party a few evenings before she left. The function was in the na
ture of a supper and was given in the Domestic Science qnarters. It was
a very elaborate affair and voiced the honor and esteem in which Miss
Gaither was held by those in attendance.
ATHLETICS

n October 17 the Chemawa team played what was to have
been The Dalles High School but upon arriving there
they played The Dalles outlaws, which is a team of
well-seasoned men, outweighing our boys 12 pounds
to the man. This being the first game of the season,

clubmen have a collection of star players from all over the country and
the best they could do was to score one touch down in each period, while
the sturdy little redmen collected their strength on their own 40-yard line
in the last period and bombarded with shot and shell. Downie was
shooting to Jim on his left and to Lane on his right, which simply
smotherd the club team. When the smoke cleared away L,ane was
kneeling on the ball back of the much-coveted clubmen's goal post,
Downie soon added another point by kicking an easy goal. Had the
Chemawa team relied on more of an open attack the score might have
been much different. ,
October 31 Chemawa saw her first game of the season, much to the
