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

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.
