About The Chemawa American (Chemawa, Or.) 19??-current | View Entire Issue (Oct. 29, 1924)
THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL The fall rains have set in. A number of the employes attended the Stanford- Idaho football game last Saturday in Portland. Supervisor and Mrs. Coon are with us this week. Mr. Coon is on his tour of general inspection of the schools of the northwest. Jones Spencer, class of ‘22, writes from the Divis ional Air Service, Honolulu, Hawaii, for a class pin. Jones does not forget Chemawa. Matter sent The American for publication should be written on but one side of the sheet, and if type written should be double spaced between the lines. Mrs. Brewer w’as hurriedly called to her home at Tacoma last week on account of the illness of her daughter, Mrs. Ruth Brewer Denny. She returned Friday night bringing Mrs. Denny with her. The many friends of Allan Shepard and Louis Colby are glad that these two boys, graduates of Che mawa, were recognized at the Haskell-Minnesota game, Allan as yell leader and Louis as a half-back. Addie Merrill has ordered The American sent to her address, 2623 H street, Eureka, Calif., where she is finishing her senior year in high school. Ad die is loyal to Chemawa and wants to keep in touch with her old school by reading the weekly news in The American, which she says she greatly enjoys. Poor officiating w’as again demonstrated in the senior sophomore game. There is one thing sure and that is it is impossible to officiate properly unless you know’ the rules. The officials for the game betw’een the juniors and freshmen this week will be, Reginald DePoe, referee; James Thomas, umpire; Charles DePoe headlinesman. Saturday afternoon our followers will have a chance to see the team in action against Albany College. Last year we played Albany to a standstill and lost by a 9 to 3 score. We are setting our traps for them and predict that the game will not be an easy one for Albany. Most of our cripples will be ready for the game and as good as new’. During chapel exercises last Sunday evening the orchestra played a Spanish concert number by Burke, Florence Murchison sang the “Sunshine of Your Smile’’ by Ray, Mabel Bremner gave a recitation, a mixed quintette sang ‘Only Thee” by Berge, the choir sang “Stand up for Jesus” by Miller, and Sup ervisor W. W. Coon, who, with Mrs. Coon, was visiting the school, made an able talk taking “Good Citizen ship” as his subject for discussion. His points were clearly set forth and contained absolute truths. By nosing out the sophomore team in a 21 to 20 score the seniors retained their hold on the inter-class PAGE 3 football championship last week-end in the most excit ing class game played here this season. The bleechers w’erefull and the sidelines crowded with enthusiastic rooters for both teams. Class spirit ran higher at this game than at any other so far. It looks as though the seniors might pull through the season without a defeat unless the freshmen upset the dope and they will have to wallop the juniors this week inorder to get a chance to do it. The second grade pupils thought Thanksgiving Day had slipped in before the scheduled date when two trays of sweet cakes appeared on Miss Judd’s desk shortly before 1 o’clock last Friday. The cakes were sent over by the Domestic Science department in ap preciation of the w’itches, cats and pumpkins the small folks cut out during their construction period for the Hallowe’en party. The pupils of the second grade take special delight in making pretty decorations— room 4 is always appropriately decorated for each holi day or special occasion. They also find time to be courteous, to keep clean, and to sing wonderfully well for their own pleasure and for the entertainment of others. CHEMAWA VS. MT. ANGEL Our varsity lost a very slow but exciting game to Mt. Angel College here last Wednesday afternoon by a score of 32 to 0. Though our team was small and greatly outweighed they put up a stubborn fight and everyone showed he had the pluck and right stuff in him by sticking to the very last. Toward the end of the first period our little fellows started a march to the hill-toppers’ goal that could not be stopped, but when Reginald DePoe crossed the Mt. Angel goal line after a pretty end run the ball was brought back and a 20-yard penalty inflicted on our team for holding. That was disheartening enough but when the Angels intercepted a forward pass on the very next play and raced the length of the field for a touchdown it just about knocked the props out from under the team and all. Two touchdowns combined with speed and an advantage in weight are big odds for a light team to fight against but our warriors hammered away and allowed the collegians but one more touchdown during the remaining part of the first half and that one by a long forward pass. The $ half ended 19 to 0. Mt. Angel managed to cross our goal line twice in the second half, once by a forward pass and again by rushing it across. They succeeded in converting one goal kick, giving them a total of 32 points. DETAIL FOB WEEK Sunday escort for girls November 2 McBride Hall Winona Hall General Mechanic Teacher No, 3 H. M.
