THE CH EM AW A AMERICAN PAGE 4 THE HOLIDAYS AT CHEMAWA (Continued from page 2) senting the Washington high school of Portland. This proved a fine game and was pretty hotly contest ed throughout. Our fans got their money’s worth. When the final whistle blew it showed our boys on the big end of a 23-to-18 score. Right here we wish to state that Coach Downie and Manager Bent have treated us to an unusually fine sport series during the holidays—never better. On Thursday evening a most delightful costume party was given in the gym by McBride Hall and Wi nona Hall girls to their friends. All went as “merrily as a marriage bell” and the event was in every way one of the most delightful parties of our holiday season. Prizes were awarded to those displaying the most originality in the matter of costumes. The evening passed all too quickly7 and terminated with the serving of delicious refreshments. It was New Year’s Eve and it proved a memorable occasion for all. The young lady hostesses did themselves proud. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon of New Year’s Day nearly everybody on the grounds repaired to the gym to witness contests in sports between representatives from the States and Alaska. From start to finish this proved an afternoon of thrills and kept the crowd on tip-toe. The States won the contest, but it was no walk-over and they had to extend themselves to win. It proved a most interesting meet in every way. In the evening the younger pupils of the school were tendered a party in the gymnasium. This, too, proved a joyous time for all and our younger students will long remember the evening of New Year’s Day, 1926. On Saturday evening, Jan. 2, we closed our holiday schedule of events with a movie, “Classmates,” featur ing Richard Barthelmess. This proved a delightfu 1 close to our remarkable season of events. Who dares to declare that we did not have a glorious holiday sea son at Chemawa? Webelievre that all, from Supt. Hall down to our youngest student, will declare it the“best ever.” We are now in 1926—let us settle down to business now and study and work hard that it may prove a year of real achievement and we can then be happy when the holiday season next arrives. LOCAL We are informed that Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Bradley are now at Ft. Lapwai, Idaho, where Mr. Bradley has employment. Mrs. Nettie Vandagrift, formerly employed at Che mawa but now living in Salem, visited with her friends here on New Year's Day. Mr. and Mrs. Sanders and Miss Peters motored over to the agency at Siletz during the holidays week in order that Miss Peters might attend to some busi ness matters. Martin Colby was a visitor at Chemawa during the holidays. He was especially pleased to meet his bro ther Louis, who was also with us. At present Martin has employment at Vernonia, Oregon. The Haskell Institute orchestra of Lawrence, Kan sas, broadcasted a fine program last Monday evening. We were especially interested, as Mr. Melovidoff, di rector and 1st violinist of the orchestra, was a Che mawa boy. In addition to our fine Christmas dinner for the stu dents there were many private family dinners about the campus. A splendid dinner was served at the Em ployes’ Club and many invited guests were priviledged to enjoy it. Mr. Mason, our carpenter, had the misfortune to get his left hand caught in a small circular saw, elec trically driven, last Thursday morning, Dec. 31st. His hand was badly cut and it will be some time be fore he will be able to use it. It is a miracle that it was not cut off. A few daysago we were visited by Mr. A. W. Funk of Crown Point, New Mexico. Mr. Funk is in the service, holding the position of farmer at the place named. He bore a letter of introduction from Mr. M. L. Devol, who is at present principal teacher at Crown Point, a position that he held at Chemawa some years ago. We were pleased to meet Mr. Funk and to hear from Mr. Devol. 1925-26 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Dec. 15, Deaf School at Chemawa—Won, 38-19 Dec. 17, Willamette Freshmen at Chemawa—Won, 28-6 Dec. 26, Franklin High (Portland) at Chemawa— Won, 32-28 Dec. 29, Lewis and Clark High (Spokane) at Che mawa—Won, 20-16 Dec. 30, Washington High (Portland) at Chemawa —Won, 23-18 Jan. 9, Franklin High at Portland Jan. 16, Corvallis High at Chemawa Jan. 21, South Parkway at Portland Jan. 22, Hood River High at Hood River Jan. 23, The Dalles High at The Dalles Jan. 28, B’nai B’rith (Portland) at Chemawa Jan. 30, Corvallis High at Corvallis Feb. 4, Salem High at Salem Feb. 8, Willamette Freshmen at Salem Feb. 11, B’nai B’rith at Portland Feb. 12, Columbia University at Portland Feb. 26, Columbia University at Chemawa Mar. 6, South Parkway at Chemawa
