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 The moleskins have been dug up once more and the boys are off for what is hoped to be the most success ful football season the school has enjoyed in several years. In baseball and basketball and track our teams have fared nicely with the best high schools and mi nor colleges of the state and have come home with the majority of the “bacon.” But in football our record has not been so brilliant, due largely to the fact that our warriors have been small and inexperienced. But, though our victories have not been so many, our teams have built up wonderful traditions. The most outstanding of these is that they are fighters and not quitters. They have never displayed any tendency to quit or give up, but have always done themselves proud by being “fight-to-the-finish” men. Sports manship has been their middle name and they have, to their credit, conducted their games along these lines. None can say that they have not been hard, vicious fighters. Stronger and better traditions for a football team cannot be had than those built up by our youngsters. The squad this season has started their work along these lines and has entered into the preliminary work with the zest and pep that makes us believe that we can now begin to expect results. The squad now consists of: Royal Holst and Se dan Thomas, centers; Roy Peratrovich, Willie Skin- na, Wallace Eagle, Arthur Bruce, Edward Walker, Richard O’Brien, Eddie Oliver, Oscar Taylor, Thom as Bad Bear, guards; Ole Strom, Francis Ross, Sam Nerguson, Peter Rassmussen and Joe Webster, tackles; Charles George, Alfred Colgrove, Valin Davis, Jimmy Lane, ends; Coquille Thompson, Jack Abraham, El mer Logan, Tom Anayah, Eli Spencer and Ulysses Ferris, halfbacks; Jake Atkins, Alfred Bernard and Gus Logan, quarterbacks. Y. M. AND Y. W. 0. A. NOTES On last Thursday evening the Protestant Bible Classes enjoyed a special treat, consisting of a set of slides depicting the industrial mission work on the west coast of Africa. Anna Peratrovich represented Chemawa as well as the state of Oregon at the National Older Girls’ Con ference at Geneva Glen, Colorado, this summer. She will give her report of the conference next Sunday morning at Sunday school. Mr. B. J. Kimber, Marion County ”Y” secretary, is planning to personally conduct the opening of each “Y” club in the county this fall, and he has set aside a date for Chemawa in the near future. There will be four Y. M. C. A. groups for the Chemawa boys this winter. A large number of the older girls found their way to the "Y” room on Sunday afternoon for the opening meeting of the Girl Reserves. An enthusiastic song service made everyone glad to be back again. Several of the members told of interesting ways in which they had been benefitted during the summer by their Girl Reserve membership. A number of excellent plans were also suggested for the fall program. SOPHOMORE NOTES We have eleven boys and twenty-one girls in our class. The boys of our class on the football team are Char ley George, Jacob Atkins, Peter Rassmussen, Royal Holst and Alfred Bernard. At his home in Cashmere, Washington, Jacob At kins put up hay. To break the monotony of this labor Jacob played several games of baseball. FRESHMAN NOTES. There are thirty-eight girls and twenty boys in the class to date. Lincoln VanAlstine writes to his friends that he will be with them on the campus shortly. Charles Fagerstrom, who has been engaged on a farm at Biggs, Oregon, has returned to Chemawa. Ernest Bruno will be with us to attend the State Fair. We shall be glad to greet our old sergeant-at-arms. Leander Wilson will return to Chemawa soon. Leander was president of the class and we will be glad to see him. Bert Kow, who has developed into one of the best tailors of whom Chemawa can boast, will be obliged to change his occupation for a season on account of his health. Louis Walks arrived Tuesday. He has been en gaged during the latter part of the summer as one of the movie actors of a Hollywood firm, filming scenes on the Crow Reservation. He was much pleased with this kind of work. We are glad to welcome to our class the follow ing new boys: John Davis, Daniel Constantino, Amos Reed, Francis Ross, Ben Nathan and Wil liam Eagletail. John Frimer, also a new freshman, came with his cousin, John Frimer.
