T h e P ortlan d ers came w ith a long strin g of victories to th eir credit and the d eterm ination of adding our scalp to th eir collection, but the lig h tn in g -lik e passing and basket shooting e x hibited by our hoopers so bew ildered th eir opponents th a t th e first half ended 16 to 6 in our favor. From the first tip-off till the last ou r varsity played like big leaguers; th eir team w ork and passes were of an A -l order, w hich kept the visitors baffled th ro u g h out the en tire contest, though in the second period th e visitors som ew hat recovered from the shock and played a m ore even gam e, registering 14 points to our 19. m aking the final score 35 to 20 in o u r favor.

Before we go to press again Mrs. Brewer will have d eparted from Chem aw a to go in to business for herself in the Y akim a (W a s h .) co u n try . N o-one ever at the school left w ith a better record th an M rs. Brew er; not one ever gave as prolonged and faithful and u n g ru d g in g service; she has been w ith Chem aw a since th e begin n in g of the school, more than 40 years ago; here she raised h er ch ild ren , saw them grow up and dep art from her roof; here she gave of her best to all; not one who appealed to her, in all these years was denied. H ers is a record th a t few can hope to d u p li cate. C hem aw a will miss her, b u t cannot replace her. T he good w ishes of all will follow M rs. Brew er to her new environm ent and rem ain th ere w ith her. Chapel exercises last S u n d ay ev ening were in every way m ost in terestin g .

H e drew atten tio n to th e w ell-know n fact th at “ birds of a feather flock to g e th e r.” It was a fine and serious talk he gave and the atten tio n given him was such th a t we are assure 1 the lesson was taken to h eart.
