ATHLETIC NOTES
With the score 14 to 12 against us in the first half,
our team came from behind and defeated “Red” Rid
ings, ex-coast all-star forward of O. 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:

BOYS’ INDUSTRIAL BUILDING
A lasting monument to the industrial departments
of the school is the addition to the shops that was fin
ished last summer and was put into service last fall.
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.
