THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 2 The CHEMAWAAMERICAN Published Weekly at the Salem Indian Training School Chemawa, Oregon, HARWOOD HALL, Superintendent Address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager The Senior eleven were crippled some in the game with the “Sophies” on account of some our of high lights trying out for the school varsity and could not play at that time, but were allowed to play in the bloody battle for the championship recently. They strengthened the team to a large extent and played better football.

We then proceeded with the program after which followed talks by our visitors, Supt. and Mrs. Hall, which were very helpful, as usual. We then transacted our business, after which we adjourned. Reliance The Reliance Literary Society held a meeting last Friday evening at room 8. The president called the house to order, the secretary called roll and read the minutes of the previous meeting, which were approved by the members. During the business period it was decided that we present a gavel, with our colors, Green and Gold, to our brother society, the Junior Reliance. We wished them success and many profit able years. The program followed, in which everyone responded very nicely. After a few songs and yells and a talk from our critic we adjorned for the evening. SENIOR NOTES Reno Booth, the famous Chemawa tenor, went to Salem Wednesday and had his eye operation completed. Many of our Senior boys belong to the Excelsior Literary Society and are preparing for their annual open session. The class of ’25 is proud of its Saxophone trio and in a short time we are hoping to have a Saxophone quartette. Our class quartette is practicing on some songs for the program next Friday. Somehow the class can not get along without these song birds. Friday is letter writing day. Watch the senior grades. Henry Kitka proves to be the geometry shark. Henry is is a new student and is doing well. Last Saturday our Hotshots swept before them the Parrish high school moleskinners with their hurricane of end runs and line plunges and came home with the bacon on the long end of a 26 to 0 score. The entire first period was played between the thirty-yard lines with both teams even in scrimmage and about a standoff in the exchange of punts. With the ball resting on their 40-yard line, the Hotshots opened the second period with a burst of speed and by end runs, fake punts and passes rushed the ball over for the first touchdown five minutes after the period opened. Bill Johnson, right half, James Thomas, quarterback, and John Kowasuk, fullback, were all consistent groundgainers and though the field was a sea of mud were able to dash around the ends and dodge through the Parrish field for several long runs, two of which resulted in touchdowns. Only once the Parrishcrs looked like they might score. In the final moments of the game they carried the ball to the Hotshots’ ten-yard line on a wide end run. Here they mustered together all their speed and fight and by four hard plunges attempted to make yardage, but the fourth down found the ball still on the Hotshots’ ten-yard line. They had failed to penetrate the Hotshot stone wall. Last week the freshmen trotted on the field with de termined faces and a steady step to give battle to the seniors in the final attempt to haul the upper classmen off their high horse and their hold on the inter-class football championship. But the seniors wouldn’t be beaten so the score stood, after a ferocious battle, 0 to 0. Hence the class football championship will rest with the seniors till next year. However, there is still one more game to be played between the Sophomores and Juniors. The officials for this game will be Reginald Depoe, referee; Paul Keta, umpire; Richard O’Brien, headlinesman. The varsity plays its last game day before Thanks giving so it is expected there will be a clash between the two societies on Turkey Day. Arrangements are not yet completed, but are under way. ITEMS FROM THE TRADES The plumbers are replacing the large cooker that was sent to be welded. There are numerous other jobs that claim their attention also. Work on resetting the boilers at the power house has been held up temporarily on account of lack of materials. These materials are coming in now and the job will be rushed to completion. The farmers have had to suspend operations since the rain began a week ago. We had hoped to get in all the potato crop before the bad weather, but wiil make the best of the situation and finish the harvest as soon as the ground is in a workable condition.
