In considering the success of our football team during the season just closed one cannot escape a feeling of pride and sat isfaction. Not a single football defeat during 1925! It may read like a “Fairy Story," but it is a veritable truth, and proves that truth is better than fiction when it comes to football. You will have to look around more than a little to find a high school football squad that came through the season undefeated. Such a team as ours is as a constellation in the football heavens— they shine by their own light. How did it happen thus? Team work, first, last, and all the time. The willingness to be coached, to take advice and criticism, to follow orders and follow the leader. The deter mination which is not on speaking terms with defeat, but fights on forever regardless of the cost, that is what brought victory. All Chemawa glories in our team, in the precedent they have established and which they, and they alone, can uphold in the years vet to come. Let no future season see our football con stellation shine less brightly than it has in good old 1925. Honor to the squad—our squad.
