VARSITY DEFEATS PACIFIC COLLEGE
Our varsity defeated Pacific College last Friday
afternoon at Newberg by the score of 19 to 6. There
was simply nothing else for Pacific to do but be
defeated, for Chemawa w’ent into the game to win
and that spirit prevailed from the first wdiistle till
the last. There is never much chance of stopping a
team with that determination and fight. The usual
waiting and stalling around which was so much in
evidence in previous games was left out entirely in
this contest. On the first kick-off, which was a
beautiful one made by Reginald DePoe that sailed up
high and almost over the bar, eleven red-jersied red
skins raced down under the ball ready to down the
man in his tracks. That was a real start and from
then on every play found all of Chemawa’s eleven
men in it.
The line which was composed of Sedan Thomas and
Robert Fielder, center; Willie Skinna and Moses
George, guards; Paul Keta and Sam Nerguson, tackles;
Charles George and Peter Rassmusson, ends; opened
up holes in the line as bigas freight cars, which enabled
Reginald DePoe, Jake Atkins, James Thomas, Ray
mond Sanderson, John Kowasuk and Tom Anayah,
alternating in the backfield, to dive and dash through
the Pacific lines for long and consistent gains. These
same backfield men skirted out and around the Pacific
ends in no ordinary fashion and interfered nicely for
the runner. Reginald De Poe w’as the most consistent
ground gainer for Chemawa and was out in the lime
light a little more than the rest on account of his punt
ing. All of his kicks went off nicely, with plenty of
heighth and distance. He easily out-kicked his
opponent. With the ends functioning properly Pacific
would not have been aide to return any of his punts
one inch.
DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES
Marian Morgan, Eva Martin, and Martha Edelman
are making the high school lunches this week.
The Prevocational Home Training classes are in
charge of Florence Shurovaloff this week. Florence
says it is great fun to teach.
Judging from the appearance of the Senior girls
we must have some fine cooks this week. The cooks
are Flora Dexter, Eva Martin, and Charlotte Bremner.
Two of the Senior girls, Harriet Hill and Mabel
Bremner, are cooking for the football team this week.
This gives the girls practice in cooking for a large
number. So far we have heard no complaint from
the boys.
A dinner was prepared for twenty-seven Corvallis
High school boys last Saturday. Although the girls
had only planned for eighteen boys they managed to
find food for the others. Domestic Science girls who
cooked the meal were: Flora Harper, Evelyn Green,
Doris McCarty, Hilda Jackson, and Edith Day from
the seventh grade; Grace Johnson, Edna Audette,
Mabel Bremner and Agnes Ponchene from the Senior
Class. Stella Bolster and Rose Baker were orderlies
who did their share of the work also.
DOMESTIC ART NOTES
We are succeeding nicely in our work as “practice
makes perfect.’’
We thank the carpenter boys for additional tables
and chairs. They have made it very convenient for us.
The most important of all is the Christmas gifts
and the little dainties which are just being started
and will be on sale a few weeks before Christmas. We
are expecting a large crowd up here, so if you want
our very best, we advise you to come early—we as
sure you that we have everything here to please you.
Stop! Look! and read! It’s just ns again. The hap
py Juniors, rendering our so-called news which we
know every one on the campus enjoys. We suppose
you are all curious to know what we Juniors are doing
up in our Domestic Art Department. First of all we
have completed out every-day dresses. The little ties,
and set in pockets add very much to the appearance of
them. We are very anxious to w’ear them, but will
have to wait, ow’ing to the fact that some have been de
layed on account of being on duty in other departments.
SENIOR NOTES
We are all glad to have the Chemawa American back
again.
New class members are Henry Kitka, John Milne
and Lloyd Jenson.
Our class now numbers forty-four. We hope to
have a couple more.
The senior girls are very fortunate to have Mr. Fisher
as their botany teacher. We find botany very interest
ing.
The seniors are very glad to see that some of our
boys are taking part in the football games. Watch
the next game and see how many there are.
The seniors had a class meeting some time ago and
elected the following officers: Reginald DePoe, pres
ident; Anna Peratrovitch, vice-president;
Henry
Bowker, secretary; Raymond Sanderson, treasurer;
Reno Booth, cheer leader and Charles Moon, sergeant-
