THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 2 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN to hear from Reginald DePoe. He states that he will soon be back with us to continue school. The seniors all unite in wishing his father a quick recovery. Published Weekly at the Salem Indian Training School Chemawa, Oregon, HARWOOD HALL, Superintendent Address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager A number of the senior boys were fortunate enough SUBSCRIPTION - - - 50 Cts PER ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES Last Thursday evening our basketball team added another game to its long string of victories when it defeated the All-Star Indian team from Grand Ronde 46 to 26. Though the score is somewhat one-sided, the game was fast and close throughout and was one of the cleanest games played here this season. Though there were several changes made in our line-up, the team played its usual fast passing game and worked the ball up for all close shots. Dandro George, who has been playing a guard position all season, was switched to forward and registered 17 points, while Charles George, our running guard, was our high point man with a total of 20 points. Charles played a remarkably good game. Repeatedly he eluded the guards with a pivot and dribble and worked the ball up to the net. John Milne, guard; Peter Rassmussen, center; Wil liam Brendible, forward; played an excellent defensive as well as offensive game and by their close checking held the Grand Ronde team down when it looked like their clever passing would gain them a basket. DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES The Sophomores are getting happier every day. They are living upto their motto, "Progress,” and find it is a good one. We were given the pleasure of serving our basket ball teams with a delightful supper last Tuesday even ing. This was the first time we had served our own teams. All of them said it was a great success. Thursday evening and Friday morning the Grand Ronde basketball team was with us. Although we had short notice we managed to prepare some very good meals for them. Good-bye till next Wednesday, T he S ophs . SENIOR NOTES Charlie Moon is still showing his stuff in geometry. It is rumored about Maybelle Bremner and Edna Audette that they are very efficient cooks. Harriet Hill asked some very interesting questions in Assembly last Wednesday. They were answered very enthusiastically by the Junior class. Not long ago we started to study the "Tale of Two Cities.” Even from the start we found it very inter esting. Our English teacher makes it most facinating to read by explaining some of the "jaw breakers.” LOCAL The Reliance boys say that the Excelsiors will have "to go some” to have a higher percent in attendance than they. The Boy Scouts did a good turn last Saturday in meeting the guests of Chemawa and parking the autos. They were a courteous bunch of boys. Several of our people attended the basketball game in Salem on Monday evening between teams from the University of Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural College. Old timers in the Government Service, who were watching Congress for action in regard to the retire ment act, were doomed to disappointment. No ac tion was taken by the House. The members of the orchestra were delightfully surprised when they filed into the orchestra pit last Sunday evening to find splendid new electric light fixtures on each stand. Mr. Kunkel, who made and installed the new fixtures, has the thanks of the orchestra. The marching rating for the girls during the past week gives no decision for McBride companies, as they were about equal, Capt. Grace Peterson of Company A, and Capt. Lydia Davis, Company B. Company D, Ida Bendixon, Captain, of Winona, secured first stand ing, and Company F, Hawley Hall, Captain Lucy Craig, gets first place. The first call for baseball candidates was made last week. Forty boys answered the call and practice will start the latter part of this week or just as soon as our basketball schedule is completed. We have some good material and should have a good team, which always seems to be the case at the beginning of the season, but a couple of weeks will tell us about the calibre of our team. The D. A. R. ladies, possibly fifty in number, who were here on Saturday last, certainly were loud in their praise of Mrs. Turney and the girls’ octette and boys’ quartet, and choruses, as well as appreciating the stunts on the part of Hawley Hall little girls given while the guests were shown through that building. Indeed, all the departments were in splendid shape and as a whole deeply impressed these representative women.
