THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 4 GET IN STEP (Continued from page 1 ) cultivate the hopeful spirit, the hopeful way of looking at things here we could increase our efficiency 100 percent and reduce correspondingly the disagreeable things which appear at times to confront us. Half of our troubles and trials come from our gloomy outlook, as the result of anticipating evil instead of good. Look around you when you cross the campus or are in Salem and see if you do not think nine-tenths of the people you meet look as though they might be coming from a funeral instead of being on their way to joy and gladness. Let us quit this way of looking on life. Let us look at it from the viewpoint of always looking at things joyously and happily, which will broaden us tremendously for every day’s w’ork and make our outlook upon life finally a veritable song of contentment, and that is what everybody is looking for. Yamhill and Benton counties of Oregon, came out. We were glad, indeed, to lay aside the program plan ned for the evening and listen to the visitors. Mr. Ware introduced Mr. Hayward, who, with fire and enthusiasm linked with his wit and knowledge of what a boy likes, gave a talk that can never be forgotten by the Chemawa Scouts. He told us of the Scouts of the world. His speech was running over with knowledge, “pep,” and best of all, he left us better Scouts than he found us. The following Scouts, Julian Smith, Fred Motchman, Kolbein Lande, Karl Muller, Frank Baga, Charles Morgan, James Anderson, Thomas Spotted Dog, Lee Bowen, Frank Tillman, John Nelson, Alex Nelson, took the swimming test at the Salem “Y.” These boys were highly complimented by Mr. Bordman, Y” director, on their ability to swim and their manly con duct during the tests. GOOD CLASS GAME DOMESTIC ART NOTES On a recent afternoon the school children and em ployes who were present witnessed one of the most thrilling class football games of this season. In the first quarter the Juniors kicked off to the Sophs, who were held for downs and had to punt. The game was a zig-zag fight during the whole first quarter and neither goal was threatened. At the opening of the second quarter the Sophs had the ball and started to pass. Elmer Logan, one of the main stars of the day, intercepted a pass and ran 35 yards before tackled. Then the Juniors were within nine yards of their own goal and two line plunges by Logan and Colgrove put the pigskin over for the first touchdown of the game. There were no more scores in the second quarter. At the opening of the second half the Juniors got the ball and they went down the field, but were checked and had to punt. The Sophs gained but little ground and were forced to punt, also. Haldane, who just had his ankle sprained, was playing safety. Being rather unsteady, he fumbled the ball and it rolled over the opponents’ goal line where one of their own men fell on it. Then the score was tied— 6 to 6. Their goal kick was missed. From then on both teams fought desperately, but could not get a chance to score. The outstanding stars for the Juniors were Colgrove and Logan, while Lane and Albert Orr were the Hash for the Sophies. __ Such keen interest in our Domestic Art work in the last ten weeks has led us to believe we have accom plished the ninth grade requirements. We do real class work on each article assigned; this week on our gingham uniforms, which no doubt when finished will be of some stunning attraction. In completing our course we will demonstrate a fashion show of our latest uniforms in class. Listen, folks, save your five and ten-cent pieces for the Domestic Art Bazaar near Dec. 25. Our girls have worked earnestly on many beautiful novelties. BOY SCOUTS The recent meeting of the Boy Scouts was certainly a treat for the sixty-one Scouts present. Unexpectedly Mr. Hayward, National Scout Executive from New York City, and Mr. Ware, Scout Leader for Marion, DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES Two of the boys are re-flooring our woodshed this week. We hope from now onto have dryer wood for our fires. Oxcenia Hendrickson is practice teacher this week. This work develops self-confidence in the girls in addition to giving cooking practice to the smaller ones. This is our last week of cooking, so we are very busy. Friday afternoon we are going to make salads. If you want any new ideas, plan to be there. You will hear from us next in the sewing-room. SCHOOL ASSEMBLY The life, work, and accomplishments of Frances E. Willard were brought to the minds of the Chemawa students in Wednesday’s assemblies recently. Marion Morgan and Clifford McLeod told their division of her service to mankind, while Grace Peterson and George Flack did like honors for their division. Jack Abraham and Lawrence Bozeroff asked their respective divisions questions on Current Events, w’hich were both helpful and interesting.
