all could not win and there were various opinions re
garding those entitled to first honors. In all such
cases there are individual ideas and the appeal to one
auditor is not the same as it is to another—that is
what makes differences of opinion and is why we
have judges. The first place was given Thelma
Orsen, a -seventh grade pupil; Louise Demacon,
another seventh grade pupil, was awarded second
place, while Wade Minthorne of the ninth grade took
third place. The contest provided an evening of in
terest and profit, as well as real enjoyment. Super
visor Roy H. Bradley of the Indian Service and Miss
L. G. Guffin of Salem acted as judges. The entire
program as rendered was as follows:

fine delivery and an impressive personality backed by
a profound mind and the sermon was one of unusual
interest and instructiveness. There was a sincerity
and unaffectedness of manner that appealed to all—
and won them. As a matter of fact, the entire pro
gram of the evening was an unusual one and every
number was excellent. The entire program follows:

BALL GAME
On the afternoon of Monday, June 3, there was a
game of baseball played by teams repiesenting the
farmers and shop workers. The game was a most
spirited one and there was no lack of rooters for
either side. The farmers won by a score of 4 to 1.
In reality the game was not so one-sided as the score
would indicate. There was a good attendance and
all enjoyed the event.
DECLAMATION CONTEST
At 6:45 in the evening the band played ano.ther
enjoyable concert and there were many visitors in
attendance. At the conclusion of the concert the
visitors, faculty and students moved to the audi
torium, where there was a declamation contest sched
uled to begin at 8 o’clock. It is hardly necessary to
state that the declamations were of unusual merit and
in some ways there were pleasant surprises where
least expected. Like everything of this character,

FIELD MEET
On Tuesday morning at 9:45 sharp the gun shot
and started the 100 yard dash, the beginning of one
the most interesting field meets ever witnessed at Che
mawa. It was evident that a struggle was on to win
the red and white banner to be presented to the win
ning class and the silver fob, backed by the school
colors for the highest individual point winner.
It was a fine day for the meet, the track in splendid
condition and the runners’ alleys divided by white
lines.
The large enthusiastic crowd that filled the bleach
ers was kept in a roar and on their toes by the nip
and tuck races of the contestants throughout the en
tire meet. Class yells and class songs cheered the
boys both before and dtiring the contests. From start
to finish it was a real class day meet.
After the fray was over and voices hushed the an
nouncer read the following: William Johnson, high
est point winner, 25 points; Francis Boyce, second,
24 1-3 points; Arthur Johnson, third, 21 1-3 points.
The junior class won the meet, they registered 44 1-3
points; Eighth grade, second, 27 points; Third grade,
third, 25 points. Following is the order of events:
