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.
