PAG li 3 TH li CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL Basketball season has started. “All together, Che mawa!” Let’s have an undefeated team in basket ball. At the Saturday evening social Charles Moon and Anna Nerguson were the winners in the contests given. Miss Borland went to Portland on Friday afternoon to visit St. Vincent’s Hospital in the interest of the school. The Girl Reserves of the “Y” had a lively and in teresting discussion on the joy of work on Sunday af ternoon. The bazaar given by the domestic art girls on Fri day was a success. They served tea and all the beau tiful and useful articles made were sold. Rehearsals for the Christmas pageant are in progress, Mrs. Turney having the musical part, while Miss White is taking the responsibility of the action. Mr. Fred Bruce was over from Silverton on Saturday and Sunday, the guest of friends. Mr. Bruce is a cap able clarinetist and was formerly bandmaster at Che mawa. The carpenters and plumbers have now fixed a room in which to dry lumber. It was a much-needed acquisition, as damp lumber will not “work up” to the satisfaction of a good carpenter. Mr. Carroll brought forth many laughs from both of the assemblies which he addressed last Wednesday. Marie Bauer and Moses George asked current event questions of their respective divisions. Raymond Haldane, William Markistrum, Walter Metrokin, Reno Booth and Charley Moon represented Chemawa at the “Y” conference at McMinnville November 27-29. The boys’ quartet composed of the first four named sang at every meeting and were well received. Mr. Bent took a prominent part on the program put on in Salem last week by the MacDowell Club. In addition to supervising the staging of Indian tableaux, etc., he gave a talk on Indian art, music, legends, traditions and life in general. We have heard most favorable comments on his part in the program. During chapel on Sunday evening Supt. Hall gave the students a fine talk on the importance of meaning business every moment of their school life. He spoke most convincingly, too. The orchestra played a “Se lection From Faust,” Louis Dupuis sang “June Brought the Roses” by Openshaw, a nonet of girls sang “The Stars are Brightly Shining” by Bronte, George Flack gave a recitation, and the choir sang “I Love to Tell the Story” by Gabriel. It was a most delight ful chapel. Last Friday evening the Chemawa orchestra, the girls’ octette and boys’ quartet put on a program at “Brush College,” which is in Polk county, a few miles from Salem. Our people provided entertainment for the grange meeting which was scheduled for that evening and they were all splendidly received. A de licious “spread” preceded the program—a regular banquet. The students were conveyed to the meeting on the truck and were chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Mason. This proved another occasion when “Che mawa made good.” The Kappa Alpha boys were the guests of Mrs. Hall and the Sigma Phi Delta girls on Thursday evening. The Sigmas greeted their visitors with a song to the Kappa Alphas and words of welcome by their president, Ida Escholt. Charles DePoe responded to their wel come in behalf of his society. Mrs. Hall and Capt. Stacy also gave short talks. This was followed by a very enjoyable impromptu program, after which punch and cake were served by the hostesses. This was a most enjoyable evening and one that the Kappa Alphas will never forget, for Mrs. Hall and the Sigma girls were certainly ideal hostesses. The Freshmen girls banqueted Chemawa’s unde feated football team Thursday evening. Toasts were given to Supt. Hall, Coach Downie, Treasurer Turney, Mr. Bewley, Manager Bent, Capt. Strom, The Ladies, The Team of 1925 and The Team of 1926. Coach Downie gave the talk of the evening. Beautiful sou venir books from Chemawa’s print shop were given each guest. This book contains a brief history of the team, the season’s record, pictures of Supt. Hall, Mr. Bent, and two pictures of the team. One picture of the team was an insert in a football, which was the work of Allan Shepard. Those present were: Supt. and Mrs. Hall, Coach Downie, Mr. Bent, Mr. Bewley, Allan Shepard, Dewey Matt, Abraham, Anayah, At kins, Badbear, Baker, Bernard, Bruce, Colgrove, Davis, C. DePoe, R. DePoe, C. George, E. George, M. George, Haldane, Holst, G. Johnson, W. Johnson, Keta, Lane, Logan, Nerguson, Peratrovitch, Skinna, Spencer, Capt. Strom, Taylor, Thomas, Thompson, Walker and Webster. OUR SCHOOL SONG Chemawa we’ll love thee forever, Thy maples and walnuts so fair, The sunlight that falls on the fir trees, Thy walks and thy flowers so rare; And over the western mountains, Our banner is floating aliove, And dear to our hearts will be ever, Chemawa, the school that we love. Chorus Oh! here’s to our dear red and white, For you all our lives we will fight, Our homage we bring, The welkin shall ring, All hail to our dear red and white. Thy sons and thy daughters so loyal, Proud to own the dear name that we bear, For the truth and the knowledge thou teachest We are ready to fight and to dare; For friendship so valued we thank thee, Our grateful tribute we bring, All hail to our alma mater, Chemawa, to thee we sing. Chorus
