About The Chemawa American (Chemawa, Or.) 19??-current | View Entire Issue (April 28, 1920)
THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL The engineers are studying on the general subject of pumps. Mr. Edwin L. Chalcraft, superintendent of Siletz Agency, visited Chemawa on Saturday. Mr. Petzoldt, representative of the inter-church movement, was at Chemawa Sunday and Monday. The rainy weather has prevented the farmers from cultivating the cherry orchards, but last Saturday the plowing was all finished. The plumbers are through overhauling the gutters and are now assisting Mr. Ross in digging trenches for pipe lines leading to the new club building. Two of our ex-students, Robert Service and Ada Carson, who were married three weeks ago, visited Chemawa on Saturday. Chemawa wishes this couple much happiness. The various stoves throughout the campus have re ceived the attention of the blacksmiths during the past week. Quite a little effort is also being placed on exhibits for demonstration day. Dr. Pauline Root, traveling representative of the national Y. W. C. A., spent the past week at Che mawa giving lectures to the girl students on social hygiene. She is a ready and interesting talker. After much work involving quite a little danger, the boys of the power plant have constructed a plat form beneath the tower tank. They are now install ing a gauge which will save much climbing in the future. The painters have completed the painting of the employes’ building and have finished some painting and plastering at the hospital. At present they are varnishing window screens for the two cottages north of the academic building. The freshman English classes had an oral composition exercise last week and after all had recited each di vision voted upon the best production. In A di vision Percy Minesinger came out first, Esther Paul, second, and Stanley Sutton third; in the B division Jennie Anderson was first by a big majority, with Dick Beasley, Cruz McDaniel and Mary Motauic and Mary Damon following in the order named. Jennie Ander son’s story was especially good, being an account of her experience in escaping a volcano eruption. Chapel services last Sunday evening were in charge of Supt. Hall and were of the usual interesting char acter. The orchestra played a “ Bolero” by Eno, Charles Williams sang “ In His Presence,” Mr. Loos and Mr. Bent played as a duet a Concert Polka written by Mr. Loos and supported by the orchestra, the choir sang “ Star of Hope” by Gabriel. Supt. Hall called on Dr. Pauline Root, a former missionary from India, PAGE 3 who made a very interesting talk touching upon cer tain phases of life in that far-off country. The Superin tendent also called upon Rev. W. A. Petzoldt for a short talk and the gentleman responded in a vein both humorous and serious. The evening was one of enter tainment and educational benefit. VICTORY Our baseball team continued its winning streak last Saturday when it defeated the North Pacific Den tal College at Portland 6 to 2. A large crowd of Portlanders and college students attended the game. Our boys played well up to form and made a splendid showing on the field and at swinging the willow. ” Hines has been hitting the ball exceptionally well this season and he kept up his slugging fest in this game. In the second inning he connected squarely with one of Merriell’s speeders for three bases, driving in two men, and a double in the ninth inning, scoring the final run of the game. Joe pitched his usual fine game, striking out four teen men and allowing but three hits, while the den tists’ pitcher struck out five men and was found for seven hard hits. This afternoon we will play the Willamette Univer sity team on the home diamond. Needless to say that all of the faculty and the entire student body will be in attendance, but we w*ant the veil leaders to get on the job and would like to have the band strike up a tune. Score by innings: Chemawa—0 4 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 N.P.D.C.—0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 RELIANCE JOLLY-UP An afternoon earlier in the week, the boys travelled in force to the woods near the Pacific Highway and spent the afternoon playing games of all sorts. The society was divided into two sections, each section re presenting one of the two colors of the society. Each time an event was staged, each section sent in its best men to win that event. In this manner the afternoon was full of excitement. At the end of the afternoon the Golds,” with Nuckolls as leader, were ahead of the “ Greens” under Nix 83 to 72. The following are the events which took place: Fifty-yard dash, uphill, slow race, caterpillar race, potatoe race, javelin throw, baseball throwing contest, shot put, standing broad jump, and relay. After a feast on “ hot dog” sandwiches and “ java” the society was called to order by the president and a short business meetiug followed. A few of the older boys gave some very good advice along the line of society work. The society then ad journed and started homeward, everybody happy.
