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.

Just which class did that black cat hoodoo on Sun
day?

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.
