THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 2 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Published Weekly at the Salem Indian Training School Chemawa, Oregon, HARWOOD HALL, Superintendent Address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager SUBSCRIPTION - - - 50 Cts PER ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES A cold wind and rain put an end to an interesting baseball game that was being played here last Satur day afternoon between our team and that of Franklin high school of Portland. In our half of the third inning, with one out, a runner on second, and the score one and one, the storm jammed down the lid on what promised to be a real thriller. Hall, Franklin’s first batter, started the game with a three-bagger over the head of our center fielder, who started in, instead of back. Miller fanned and Hall scored on Jackson’s long fly to center field. About this time Charley George got his trusted side wheel working and Franklin’s hitters started count ing their steps back to the bench instead of rounding first base. Franklin’s team has all the ear marks of a first-rate aggregation, which probably was the cause of all the nervousness on the part of our team. Though they made quite a mess of things at the start they soon were putting on real class both in the field and at the bat and at that stage of the game it looked much like our twirler had mastered the situation so far as Franklin’s hitters were concerned. By the number of our men getting on base we know we would not be without scores. On Friday we will be able to tell. On that date the team goes to Portland to play a return game. How are you betting? JUNIOR NOTES The lights burning out in the Juniors’ Hall at McBride Hall didn’t prevent them from getting their lessons. Marjorie Montgomery, one of our Junior girls, is still absent on account of her eyes, but will soon be back to school we hope. Raymond Jones and Robert Fielder, who were oper ated on at the hospital last week, are back with us once again. Vernita Burland was also discharged Monday. The Juniors had their “shirt and middy day” on Monday, the 24th, in honor of the declamation contest. Congratulations to the Seniors for winning first and second place. We are very proud of our Junior who took third place. “darkey” in looks, if it were her own. served a prize, too, Marie Bauer doesn’t resemble a but she can speak their lingo as Many say that George Flach de and the Juniors all agree. DOMESTIC ART NOTES Au Revoir, kind folks! “Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. ” This is our last week up here and we give up our class to somebody else. We wish them luck. Friday we had our final fashion show. From our groups of girls a selection will be made as to who will be in the fashion show at commencement. All of our construction dresses are quite classy looking. Last Wednesday we had a dynamic symmetry test and we all passed. We wish we had learned some more about it. A few visitors came to see our department and we sang them a snappy class song which was said to have been enjoyed. Wish us luck in the next department. T he J uniors . LOCAL A luncheon was served in the Wigwam for Miss Jockardy by a section of the 8th grade. The appoint ment and service were par excellence. Miss Jockardy, connected with the Tuberculosis movement in Oregon with headquarters at Portland, was a guest of the school last Thursday. A few of our people attended performances of the Brandon Opera Company in Salem last week and speak most highly of the artists wTho appeared. Supt. and Mrs. Chalcraft and daughter, Miss Hallie, stopped over at Chemawa last week end while enroute to their home in Siletz from a business trip to Grand Ronde and Portland. The Misses Ingrams, teachers in the Portland schools, and Miss Smith, in the Vetetans’ Bureau, accompanied Miss Erma Freeland to Chemawa on Saturday to spend the week-end with Mrs. Brickell and family.
