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 Ct8 PER ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES While our varsity rested, the “Hotshots” took on and defeated the second team from Washington high school of Portland last Saturday afternoon. The final score was 18 to 0. Every man on the “Hotshot” squad was given a chance to get into the game and without ex ception all played a good, hard game. Our first touch down was scored in the middle of the second period just following almost a complete change in our line-up. Though our scores were made by line play, Wash ington played a fine, defensive game, and made our team extend itself for every inch they made. Baker was our most consistent ball carrier. The work of Anayah on defense was outstanding, as were some of the tackles made by Baker. The fine defensive work of our line accounts for the shut-out chalked up against Washington. They charged like a bunch of roaring lions and made tackles behind the line repeatedly. Washington’s forward pass attack was ruined by the charges of these fellows. Our line-up: Holst and Eldred George, center; Skin- na, Walker, Bad Bear, Bruce, guards; Webster, Nergu- son, tackles: Haldane, Colgrove, Lane, ends; Bernard quarter; Baker, fullback; Anayah, Grant Johnson and Spencer, halves. A week of hard practice is in store for our varsity in preparation for the game against Columbia Uni versity next Saturday. Thompson and Ketah, who have been out on account of injured hands are expected to be in shape. Otherwise the team will go into the game in first-class condition. So far Columbia has held us at her mercy, more because we were out-classed than anything else, but this season we will pit against them a team that is their equal in every respect and the outcome depends upon the fight, determination and the ability to hang on with which our team goes into the game. This game will test the grit of every man on our team. We are watching you close, boys. Will you solve this problem? It’s a hard one. DOMESTIC ART NOTES Our Sophomore shop is like a busy bee hive, each and everyone at work trying to accomplish as much as possible in the few days we have left, as we leave the Domestic Art Shop on Nov. 6 and go to the Domestic Science Department. We will find it quite hard to cook after all we have learned in sewing. We had our first written lesson Monday, which was given in the form of a test, and all made grades to be proud of. The busy bee’s are now on the problems of dress making. We are making gingham dresses which are to be w’orn as uniforms. There was quite a debate as to how these dresses should be made, which was set tled by a majority vote. Company A’s dress is quite different both in style and color from Company B’s. We know you will like them when they make their first appearance, as we judge they will be quite novel. Margaret Pimms was highly insulted when asked if she had ever sewed before in her life. Elsie Adams as practice teacher for this week is liv ing up toher motto, “Service.” BOY SCOUTS The Boy Scouts held their regular meeting Tuesday, Oct. 20, 1925. The tenderfoot Scouts studied the Scout oath, rope knots and the compass, while the more ad vanced Scouts worked on the semophore. In closing all wrere assembled and Frank Baga gave a demonstra tion of first aid to the drowned. After repeating the Scout laws and oath we adjourned. DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES The ninth and tenth grade girls entertained for Mr. Peairs on a recent Friday and again Monday. Both dinners were nicely prepared and served. Iva Dupuis is becoming well known as a cake-baker. Last week she made delicious birthday cakes for two different employees, which would have done credit to any baker. The fourth grade girls made apple butterand canned tomatoes this week. All of this canning helps to fur nish the food supply for the winter. INDUSTRIAL ITEMS Anna Peratrovich taught Miss Thomas’ class a few days this week during the time that Miss Thomas was confined to her room with a cold. The engineers have completed the draft line from the tunnel to the smokestack and are now going to build a concrete wall and steps on the west side of the power plant. The construction work at the Wigwam is nearing completion. The junior girls and Mrs. Brickell will be glad when this work is completed. They claim the workmen are a fine “lot,” butthat their “noise knock ing” is terrible. In making the necessary repairs to the tractor, po tato digger, and the school autos, the machinists have surely been kept busy. Elmer Logan, one of the best mechanics, was out of the shop having “the neces sary repairs” made on his teeth. There has been 76 boys and 164 girls admitted to the hospital as patients during October. Most of them went “right in and right out again,” which speaks well for the Chemawa medical corp. Allie Smith, who was slightly hurt by a falling ladder, proved himself as efficient as a “gloom chaser” in the boys’ ward as he has as leader of his eighth grade football squad, which has not been defeated.
