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.
