THE CHEM AWA AMERICAN PAGE 4 THE RIGHT AND WRONG OF IT (Continued from page 1 ) fight for right and justice; when you prove that you think more of always being on the right side of any question than to be on the winning side, then you will get people’s confidence and admiration. To have backbone as well as a clean record is worth everything. Make every transaction so clear that it will never be questioned. Is there anything grander, can there be a more true indication of success, than to have a reputation among those who know you of being “every inch a man—a woman?” The people whom we read about the most, who make the most noise in the world, who possess the largest fortunes, or those who seem to be famous, are not always our most useful and helpful citizens. There are tens of thousands of men and women in our country today whose names are never heralded in the newspapers, who have no reputation outside of their own humble circle, but who are adding more to the real greatness of America than are many who live in the public eye. There are teachers and employes in our school who have ability of the highest order, and who are render ing invaluable service to the world in elevating the ideals of American boys and girls and giving them a noble start in life. Never forget your teachers and employe friends at Chemawa. You have had the benefit of intellects here that compare favorably with those of any school, who are giving their consummate ability, the influence of their character, their example and personal influence to the high calling of elevating Indian youth, whereas if many of them had gone into business for the purpose of making money they would have been far more successful financially than they are here. Honor the good people who are devoting their lives, not to amassing money but to self-sacrificing work—doing immeasurably more for humanity than those who seemingly occupy far more prominent roles in the public eye. FRESHMEN FOOTBALL PARTY. Wednesday evening, Cleo Plasteur, Martha Pack- ineau, Martha Orsen, Emma Larsen, Pearl Buckles, Emma Sexton, Pauline Kampoff, Hazel Boyd and Norma Douglas, all girls of the Freshmen class, pre pared refreshments for the victorious football team of their class. The tables and their class room were beautifully decorated in their class colors, red and black. The beautiful silver loving cup, presented to Captain Ross and his team on Thanksgiving evening, was the chief decoration of the tables. Seated at the tables were, Su pt. Hall, Mrs. Iliff, Mr. Clark, Mr. Bent, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Stacy and Raymond Haldane. The mem bers of the team and class officers present were: Leander Wilson, Wm. Swift Hawk, John Frenier, Martin High Backbone, Frank Mann, Louis Walks, Ben Nathan, George Gardener, George Meachem, Clifford Meachem, Charles Fagerström, Ernest Brunoe, Clifford Celestine, John Davis, Francis Ross, Wm. McCarkle, William Hall and Clifford Courville. The members of the team were called upon and responded with toasts. The guests were called upon and all responded and were hearty in their praise of the splendid victory of the team on Thanksgiving Day, which made them the champion class team of Che mawa. Capt. Stacy read the following poem dedicated to Mr. Fisher, Mr. Clark, the team and the Freshmen Class: By the Willamette, Sweeping to the sea, Stands our glorious alma mater; Stands perpetually In the mids’t of noise and bustle Of a city’s life— Calm, serene reserved and noble, Unassailed by strife. Sing our chorus of devotion Till we rend the sky, Hail to thee, “Dear Old Chemawa,’’ Hail, Freshmen High. Freshmen, never let your footsteps Waver or turn back; March ye ever firmly onward, ’Neath the red and black. DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES The Freshie girls were busy last week preparing a dinner for the members of the football team. For the place cards we had little footballs with a greeting in side. Each waitress wore a little football on her head- band. As for the meal—well, it was a regular man’s din ner—pork and dressing, mince pie with ice cream, and all the other things they could eat. Little red and white baskets for nuts and raisins, and red streamers carried out the Chemawa colors. Droselina Cimino and Jennie Allen are preparing high school lunches this week. Joy Yellowtail of the sixth grade made a very nice looking cake this week. DOMESTIC ART NOTES There is Christmas Spirit in the air. What a success our Bazaar was! But there are lots of pretty things left. Don’t fail to visit our Domestic Art Shoppe. Tea was served on Friday during our sale and was enjoyed immensely by our patrons. We wish to thank those who patronized our Christmas Bazaar and hope they will call again. We are very busy making gifts for Santa’s Sack, so will ring off! Merry Christmas!
