THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 3 LOCAL ADDS TO HER RENOWN Mr. and Mrs. John Allen of Neah Bay, Wash., motored down to Chemawa last week. (Continued from page 2) Anna Miller, now Mrs. Donahue, of the class of ’22, came down from Portland and spent a few days here during closing w’eek. Leona John a graduate of the class of 1917, together with her husband and children were in attendance at the school for one presentation of the operetta “Paul Revere.” According to report the stork was a recent visitor at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Irving Shepard and left an infant daughter. The parents are now in government service at Hoopa, Calif. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Service and two small children arrived at the school last week and remained a few days. They are graduates of 1914 and 1916 respec tively. Mr. Service is in business at Toledo, Oregon, and reports everything O. K. with him. Mr. and Mrs. Carson, Miss Sarah Pierre and Mr. Willie Service made up a party who motored over from Toledo and attended the students’ “farewell” social. Mr. Carson was one of the first pupils at Che mawa in the very beginning of things, and w7e under stand that Miss Pierre was a member of the graduating class ot 1888. Willie Service graduated in 1914. We are not certain, but believe that Mrs. Carson is also a graduate of Chemawa. All are representative citizens of the very best type. ATHLETIC NOTES Our team handed Oregon’s Normal School nine a bitter pill on May 26 and came home with the long end of an 18 to 4 score. The Normals sent in three pitchers to stop the hitting of our batters, but each one had little success, for our batsmen continued to slam the ball and circle the bases. Leander Wilson did the twirling for our team and controlled the hitting of the teachers almost through out the game. With Atkins standing on third base in the second inning Fleury hit a home run over the fence. On Memorial Day our supporters witnessed a real battle when the game with the North Pacific Dental College of Portland w’ent 10 innings and finally ended in a 3 to 2 score in our favor. Fleury, our southpaw pitcher, got going after the third inning and pitched a fine game. He allowed but three hits and struck out 16 men. The dentists scored in the second inning. With men on first and second Turple came to bat and made the most timely hit of the game, driving a hard-hit ball over our cen ter fielder for three bases. In the fifth inning Matil- ton’s hit drove in Burns and Charles George, tying the score, which remained 2 to 2 until our half of the 10th inning, when, with the bases full, Atkins slammed one down to second base a little too hot to handle and drove Burns across the plate for the winning run. of our team until the end of the game. In the third inning the Normals scored four runs on as many hits. After this rally Wilson tightened up and held the opposing batters at his mercy until the eighth inning w7hen Burns allowed a high fly to drop at his feet. The runner scored later on a series of errors. Our first ray of hope came in the seventh inning when DePoe walked to first, stole second, and scored on Burns’ hit. Charley George followed with a nice little single over shortstop that scored Burns. In our half of the ninth the boys picked up their war clubs, determined to overcome the lead that stood 5 to 2 against us. DePoe led off with a line drive over second and scored on Davis’ hit through the pitcher. Dandro George made the first out on a fly to center field. Charley George followed the route of Dandro for the second out. The score stood 5 to 4 against us when Burns finished up a perfect day of bonehead plays when he was caught oft second on the last out of the game and our 1925 season. Our demonstration work this year showed splendid results in the w’ay of vocational activities. In fact we experience a feeling of pride whenever the subject of vocational work comes up, for we feel that w7e are especially strong as an institution on this line. It has been so in the past and 1925 ran “true to form.” An hour in the forenoon and an hour in the afternoon of Thursday, the 4th, w?ere set aside for inspection of this exhibit and many availed themselves of the oppor tunity afforded for a tour of inspection. Credit for our fine demonstration exhibits is shared equally by our boys and girls. At 7:30 on Thursday evening the big gym began to fill up with young and old for the enjoyment of what w7as to be a “Farew7ell Social.” This proved to be an evening of unusual and unlimited pleasure for everybody, and all repaired to quarters at the proper hour with a feeling of satisfaction and peace over it all. The end of the year’s schedule had been marked. The next day, and the next, and all that have since passed, have seen students depart for their homes or “outing jobs.” This is still going on and our ranks are thinning out more and more and shortly we’ll have remaining here only what Supt. Hall calls the “back bone” of the school, but we have faith in the strength of our “backbone” to carry on. We feel that Supt. Hall and the entire faculty agree with us when in summing up we declare the past year to have been one of progress, of genuine interest and endeavor, on the part of all. Let us rest in the convic tion that we have labored well.
