A fter th e program lig h t refresh m en ts w ere served. Both society critics and several visitors w ere present. A fter g iv in g a few society yells and sin g in g th e school song th e m eetin g ad jo u rn ed . O U R C H A P E L S E R V IC E Some way it seemed to us th at our chapel service of last S u n d ay evening w as of even greater in terest th an usu al. T h e o rch estra played an “ In d ian In term ez zo ” by Brow n, G eorge Lekanoff san g ‘ I ’m L o n g in g for Y o u ” by Hatliaw’av w ith su p p o rt from both piano and cello, C ruz M cD aniels gave as a baritone solo “ M arch T riu m p h a l” from V e rd i’s opera “ A id a ,” th e choir sang th e “ A m erican H y m n ” by K eller, and S u p t. H all gave an o th er stro n g talk . H e especially directed th e a tten tio n of the audience to th e lack of decision, of v acillatin g , of never know ing o n e’s own m in d , on th e p a rt of m any people. In fact, th is a charge th a t can be m ade ag ain st a larg e m ajo rity of I t ’s all over! N o m ore looping baskets (th a t is, on th e inside) till n e x t season. T h e outdoor hoopers, how ever, are ju st g ettin g w arm ed up and they will be g o in g stro n g er and stro n g er as the good w eather in creases. E ven at present th e crow d th a t patronizes th e outdoor court is a large one. O u r basketball season died a natural death last week after a hard schedule. U n til th e end our varsity m ade a hard fight, and alth o u g h it did not alw ays w in, th e scores were so close th a t it w as also a pleasure to lose. It was the in te n tio n of out ath letic m anager, M r. B ent, to close our basketball season w ith one g rand clim ax and he had for th e occasion scheduled th e S outh P ark w ay team , cham pions of P o rtlan d , to play the last gam e on th e hom e floor. A t the last m in u te they ca n ce lled . W ith all d u e respect to th e cham pions, we believe they called th e gam e off so as to end th eir season w ith a whole sk in . T oo bad, we m ust sav, for M r. Bent had th e gam e well advertised. F u rth e rm o re , th e S outh P arkw av- C hem aw a gam e was one th a t a large num ber of o u t siders as well as ou r own follow ers w’ere anx io u s to see and looked forw ard to w ith a g reat deal of interest. A s usu al, at the close of th e basketball schedule, th e team m et before th e cam era m an in Salem last F rid a y . Now th a t basketball is over our heads are tu rn ed tow ard baseball and track w ork. N ew stars will soon begin to shine, and, we hope, b rig h tly . T h e G irls’ Reserves, and Ju n io r basketball team s have also tucked aw ay th eir su its for th e rest of the year. O ut of it all th e g irls’ team cam e th ro u g h on top w ith o u t a single defeat and in every gam e beat th e ir opponents by a nice, com fortable m argin. W e adm it th a t th e girls certainly won th eir letters and deserve honorable m ention. T h e players are as follows: M arion W asson, Rose Downie, forw ards; Rebecca C arpenter, E leanor H a u k , center; Effie Davis, Jessie C leveland, guard s; M aude P o tts, spare. T h e race-track and baseball dim ond w ere given a th o ro u g h going-over early last week by Mr. Bent and a detail of boys and m any track m en, both new7 and old, are seen w orking out daily and w’e will continue to w atch them and th eir progress to see how they will represent C hem aw a in th e com ing track m eets and ball gam es. T h e ball players have not w holly aw akened as yet and the ability th at has been lyin g dorm ant all th is tim e has not been aroused, but a call will soon be issued for candidates on ih e diam ond and th o u g h our p resent prospects for a w in n in g team are not overly b rig h t w7e expect to develop one before th e season closes. T h e brig h t sunny days do not seem to bother th e sen iors. T h ey d o n ’t seem to have th e sp rin g fever; instead, they seem to have studied th a t m uch hard er. T hose grades of the past m onth seem to have been im -proved.
