A return game of basketball with the Salem High

Friday afternoon. Boys’ rules were observed. The
results showed a score of 11 to 10 in favor of Salem.
Rose O ’Brien, our star player, received a cut on the
lip early in the second half which prevented her from
finishing the game, which probably accounts for the
defeat.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kirkpatrick, of Arlee, Mon
tana, who have been visiting their children at Chemawa
for the past week, left for home on Monday. They
wish to thank the Seniors and Juniors for their cour
tesy in inviting them to the class party, as well as to

during their stay. They were much pleased with
Chemawa.

girls in entertaining their guests. After the supper

songs, accompanying herself on the ukelele.
The friends of Margaret Reinville were very much
surprised to hear of her marriage to Mr. Merle Parker

stated her intention of graduating from the hospital in

home in Walla Walla, where she and Mr. Parker were
married. Mr. Parker is a business man in Portland

large table ingeniously decorated with hearts and
clever heart-shaped place cards marking each place.
The refreshments were delicious and dainty.
A CLOSE GAME
The concluding game of basketball this season for
our girls took place last Saturday evening when they
defeated the Silverton High School team on our floor.
It was a most hotly contested game and our girls were
requiied to extend themselves to the limit in order to
win. At the end of the first half the score stood 4 to
0 in favor of Silverton. Our girls realized that they
would be compelled to play a swifter and better
quality of ball if they were to succeed in winning the
game and they went into it with all their skill and
force and immediately began to score, and won the
game by one point as the final result showed 10 to 9 in
favor of Chemawa.
The Chemawa players were Rose O’ Brien, Effie
Davis, Bertha Grimes, Florence Hoover, Mae Adams
Marie Shaishnikoff replaced Effie Davis as forward in
the second half.
