THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 2 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Published Weekly at the Salem Indian Training School Chemawa, Oregon, HARWOOD HALL, Superintendent Address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager SUBSCRIPTION - - - 50 Cts PER ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES By hanging on to the bitter end our basketball team annexed another link to its chain of victories last Saturday at Portland by defeating Franklin high school 25 to 21. Earlier this season Captain DePoe and his teammates hung defeat on the Portlanders, who were all keyed up to return the compliment, and it was only a last- minute spurt that saved the day for us. At the end of the first half the score stood 13 to 13. In the second half Franklin started off with a bang and in rapid succession scored three baskets and gained a six-point lead, all of which seemed to indicate that the Franklinders had just gotten started while we were still in the woods holding the sack. Two converted foul throws by Dewey Matt and two more by Eldred George and a field goal by Reginald DePoe tied the score, which stood 19 to 19 till the end of the third period. Early in the final quarter each team con verted a field goal and the score, 21 to 21, stood until the last minute of play. Still fighting desperately, and seemingly unable to get together and pass and shoot successfully, Charles and Eldred George both dashed and darted through the Franklin defense and rolled in a basket apiece just in the niche of time to win a hard game. The team’s motto, “A team that won’t be beaten never can be beaten,” has led them to many splendid victories this fall, but probably none tougher than the one they won Saturday. They appeared to be beaten more than once in this game, but simply because they refused to lose they won, and that by dogged determin ation, for their science seemed to have failed them. DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES Last week the Freshmen served five meals to basket ball teams who were playing here. One of the coaches has promised us a box of candy in return for the lunch we served his team. All of them seemed to enjoy the meals. The girls each had an opportunity to assist at a meal and each proved herself a capable and willing worker. Four of our girls were transferred to the hospital to act as nurses this week. The sandwiches and cakes for the McBride Hall reception were prepared in our department. We hear that they were very good. Mr. Huskey is instructing the sixth grade girls in poultry raising. Much interest is being displayed in this useful subject. DOMESTIC ART NOTES Top off the morning to you! This is certainly a busy week for us Sophs, as we are finishing all the work started that we can. We are leaving here this week, giving the other half of our class who have been working at the Wigwam, their chance at sewing. Red flannel box-plaited skirts are being made for the choir girls. After these skirts are finished each girl is obliged to make herself a gingham uniform. LOCAL The painters are “touching up” things in the Small Boys’ Home. Fred Munson’s sister, Grace, has joined her brother here and is now a full-pledged Chemawa student. Joe Racine, of the class of ’22, was a recent visitor. He is now attending business college in Portland. The machinists have procured a motor to overhaul and experiment upon. They intend to install it in a small boat. It is a Studebaker motor and suitable for boating purposes. Belvie Dillstrom arrived at Chemawa on Monday from the Klamath country, where he has made his home for several years. When he left Chemawa he was a small “chap,” but the same cannot be truthfully said of him now. The four Junior girls who are training in the hospi tal are temporarily going to school every afternoon, while Dr. Collard is here. They receive instruction and assist him each morning. This throws them with the Junior boys’ class every other day. The Junior boys again exclaimed, “Such luck as we have.” The mission study class that has been studying the Czechs that live in our country finished the last chap ter on Tuesday evening. The occasion was made a delightful one, as the girls served a lovely supper at the “Y” room. Our next study is about the South American people. This promises to be as interesting a study as the book just completed. The Sigma Phi Delta girls held an interesting business meeting in the home of Mrs. Hall on Thurs day evening. The following girls were pledged: Mary Trail, Julia Walker, Irene Walker, Mary Crow, Eliza beth Youpee, Susie Hart, Josephine Racine, Sarah Cooper, Mabel Desautel, May Donnelly, Ida Uttecth, Mabel Peratrovich, Alice Geary, Tillie Walkingbear, Emma Escholt, Ramona Tripp and Drosalina Cimino.
