THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Shankiiiltuiny N no other nation of the earth is there fl I a holiday—or holy day, as it should properly be written—corresponding to the American Thanksgiving. And in no other nation does there exist the same bountiful reason why this nation should set aside a special day for humble thanks and grateful appreciation for the blessings be stowed upon it and its peoples by Almighty God, the Creator and Giver of all things. Steadily, since the first Thanksgiving Day, more than three hundred years ago when the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, has the greatness of America, materially and morally, advanced until she stands today foremost of all nations in the secure- ment of happiness, peace and prosperity to her citizenry. It is fitting, then, that all should join in the spirit of this day, which should, and does, include, among the rever ent and thoughtful, a prayer that God in His infinite goodness and mercy will grant a larger share of His bounty to His less fortunate children wherever they may be situated until the fulfillment of the prophecy of peace, contentment, good will and broth erhood rests upon all the earth. HUBERT WORK, 1926 Secretary of the Interior. h <» h IIH LOCAL Just which class did that black cat hoodoo on Sun day? The Junior Class will be in charge of next Sunday’s service. Miss Roddy w*as an official visitor to Portland on Monday. Moses George received a box of “wonderful” apples last week. The Seniors are delighted over the arrival of Richard O’Brien, Albert Bercier and Charley Moon. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson returned home on Sunday from an extended trip through the East. We are glad to welcome them home. PAGE 3 Miss Edna Strout went to Corvallis on Friday to be with her sorority sisters who are being nationalized and are opening up a new home at O. A. C. Mrs. R. L. Houck of Independence, better known as Miss Thompson at Chemawa, visited the school on Friday. Her many friends were delighted to see her. Lillian Marion, of the class of ’27, has been out of school some time on account of illness. All of her classmates miss her and hope she will be with them soon. In a recent issue of The Native American we no ticed an article from the pen of our Captain Stacy on archaeological subjects. It was of more than ordinary interest and was a credit to its author. Richard Archambault is the latest addition to our orchestra, in the position of second violin. Allan Shepard preceded him as clarinetist. Both players are proving worthy additions to the organization. Mr. Reuben Sanders returned a few days ago from a business trip to California. He made almost a record drive on the return trip, making it from Cresent City, in California, to Chemawa, a distance of 350 miles, in one day. Considering the character of a part of the road and the distance we are led to assume that his car was in first-class condition. One of the hardest fought “battles” of football ever played on Chemawa’s field was witnessed on Sunday afternoon when the Juniors and Seniors' clashed. Gus Logan recieved a pass and made a touchdown for the Seniors in the first quarter. In the second quarter Robert Archambault carried the ball across the goal for the Juniors. Both sides failed to kick goal and the score remained 6 to 6 until the final whistle sounded. Both sides played well and hard. Tom Anayah was an outstanding Junior, while Colgrove “starred” for the Seniors. These teams will meet again and it is needless to say it will be a “battle.” The Juniors were generated by Fleury, white Thompson marshalled the Seniors. Francis Ross, Sedan Thomas, Paul Keta, Clifford Courville, Lee Wilson and Henry Bowker were the officials and they did their parts well. Our chapel exercises last Sunday evening were in charge of the boys of the senior class. They made a splendid success of the evening. In the first place they had secured Dr. Carl G. Doney, president of Willamette University, as the speaker of the evening. Dr. Doney will never know just what a factor for good that his talk proved to be, for both young and old. It would be difficult to imagine anything finer or more fitting and logical for the occasion than Dr. Doney gave us. Thanks to you, Dr. Doney. Charles DePoe was in charge of the program and proved a credit to himself, his class, and his school, in that capacity. Louis Dupuis gave an oration and Raymond Haldane a vocal solo; both were fine. The stage was wonder fully decorated and all of the boys were seated on the platform, together with Dr. Doney and Supt. Mc Gregor. It was a pleasing and memorable occasion.
