A. C., and his Molalla hoopers at Molalla last Thursday evening 23 to 20. Captain DePoe and Dewey Matt, both import ant cogs in our team, were taken out early in the second half on account of personal fouls, leaving the bulk of our offensive on the shoulders of Rassmussen. Peter was switched from guard to center and with mostly a defensive team immediately put on more speed than his veteran opponents could cope with and not only worked his way into the lead, but managed to keep out of reach. On last Saturday evening a very fitting climax brought our basketball season to a close when our team defeated their old rival, South Parkway, 31 to 19. At half time our team led the visitors by the scant margin of one point—12 to 11. Several times during the game the score was a tie and late in the third per iod the clubmen forced their way into a one-point lead —19 to 18— but that was just like forcing their way into a bag of wildcats, for Parkway saw more action in the remaining ten minutes than they have in a long, long time. They might just as well have tried to keep up with that many streaks of lightning—our fellows were here, there, and everywhere in the most remark able offense we have seen this season. Capt. DePoe and Dewey Matt, forwards; Peter Rassmussen, center; Charles George and Roy Peratrovich, guards; just naturally walked away with the game. Their speed and canny passing was too much for the visitors to solve, who, seemingly, were caught flatfooted through out the last quarter, while our five put speed on speed and all but doubled their score. The season’s scores follow—nineteen games played, sixteen won and three lost: Chemawa 38 Deaf School 28 Willamette Uni.

This addition was built for an outlay of $2,300 for material and not one cent for outside labor. Each de partment of the trades has done its part with the result that we have a good solid brick structure housing paint ing, masonry, mechanical drawing, a class room and an exhibit hall, and doubling the space available for carpentry. Secretary Work highly commended the work of the students in the satisfactory completion of this building. It has been of great value to one class from the academic division also, in that the class-room was turned over to them when there was a shortage of school rooms. The progress of the students in mechanical drawing has been marked during the past semester. There are 80 students in the drawing classes and they are doing well. The masonry department had no home at all prior to the completion of this building. Now they have an excellent shop and suitable space for the storage of their material as well, and while not concerned at other work have made over 2,000 concrete building blocks to be used in the construction of buildings the coming summer. The painters were almost in like situation as the masons before the building was finished. They had no heat in the shop and could not do the work satis factorily to themselves. Now their quarters are roomy and comfortable and they have produced some excel- ent work in consequence. Several of Chemawa’s “high brow” employees en joyed the grand operas given in Portland recently. We owe our thanks to Miss Judd for the beautiful boquets of daffodils and other spring flowers that made the chapel so pretty on Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Merton Porter arrived from their home in Klamath Falls last week for a visit here with Mr. Porter’s brother and sister, Raymond and Ferol Porter. They motored up. Both Mr. and Mrs. Porter are for mer Chemawa students.
