About The Chemawa American (Chemawa, Or.) 19??-current | View Entire Issue (Jan. 18, 1928)
THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN LOCAL Grace Peterson of the class of ’27 was a week-end visitor. Miss Edna Strout visited home folks at Amity this week-end. William Markishtum is around on crutches on account of a sprained ankle. Mr. Bent arrived home on Friday evening from a business trip to Seattle, Wash. Mrs. Pearl Fletcher of San Francisco spent the week-end with her nieces, Leota and Cleo Plasteur. Jack Frost has been unusually active in this section re cently, and has proved quite “nipping” in many ways. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Hoos of Portland were Sunday visitors. Mrs. Hoos will be remembered as Sadie Seed. Mrs. Brickell, returned from Portland on Saturday after spending several days in that city on official bus iness. Mr. and Mrs. Palmer and baby daughter were Sunday campus visitors. This was the daughter’s first visit to Chemawa. The Catholic Boys’ Association and the society of the Little Flower will hold their first joint session in the Catholic chapel on Thursday evening. Some of our carpenters, with the assistance of the truck crew, have torn down our old guard house. It speaks pretty well for our school that we no longer re quire it. Mrs. J. W. Vickers was a recent guest of Mrs. Hunter. While Mrs. Vickers was here Mrs. Hunter’s son, Robert, a student at the University of Wash ington, came down for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. Chester E. McCarty of Portland were Chemawa visitors last Sunday. They are a most estimable couple. Mrs. McCarty before her marriage was Julia Gromoff, a pupil of whom all Chemawa was proud. Mrs. Posey has undertaken to provide lunches for our basketball teams after a game is played here—and the visiting teams, too. This will certainly gladden the hearts of all and we think it a move in the right direction, as the players do not eat before the games. The plumbers have been engaged recently at the task of re-tinning the clothes drier at the laundry. It is necessary that everything about our laundry is kept in condition to function at full capacity all the time. There is truly much work for this department of our school. During the recent cold snap our plumbers were “kept warm” thawing out frozen water pipes. A delightful evening of pleasure was given the student body by the Willamette Glee Club on Friday evening. Every number was rendered in an excellent manner. That body of splendid young men reflected much credit upon their Alma Mater. Chemawa is very grateful to them for an evening of pleasure that was so elevating, so educational, and yet afforded so many laughs. For your excellent program Chemawa gives an unanimous cry of “thanks.” PAGE 3 Mr. and Mrs. Henderson of Portland were visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Iliff. Mrs. Henderson will be re membered by many in the service as Miss Hilton. The girl officers appeared recently in their new uni forms. They are very pretty and are quite in keep ing with the dignity that goes with being an officer. Next Sunday evening our people will have the pleasure of listening to a debate which will be given on one of the most “live” topics of the day by a team of debaters from Willamette University. Dr. J. O. Hall, who is at the head of the department of Public Speaking at the university, came out a day or so ago and made arrangements with Supt. Lipps for the ap pearance here of the debaters. We look forward to a discussion which will prove of great interest. During our chapel exercises last Sunday evening Supt. Lipps made a note-worthy talk on “thrift.” This, by proclamation of Govenor Patterson, is known as “thrift week” in Oregon, so the talk was most timely. However, such a talk as Mr. Lipps gave would be ever timely. It will be well for all who heard the talk to remember it and be guided by it, for it ap plies to all of us, young and old alike. In addition to the talk of Supt. Lipps there was a pleasing vocal solo rendered by Reno Booth, a recitation by Fred Sandberg, and a number by both choir and orchestra. Friday our team will play Columbia University and the girls will meet the Oregon City high team. Both games will be played here. Columbia is an old foe and the team has left nothing undone that will pre pare them in any way for this game, which is sure of being a real battle. Columbia boasts of the fastest team that has ever represented that institution. Just last week they defeated Gonzaga nicely, so there must be considerable to their story. Just at present we do not know exactly what our team is capable of doing. Anyhow these two games will draw a full house. An attempt to have a “PEP” meeting sometime during the week will be made. We need one and need it badly. Though our wrestling team did not win the match, they did exceedingly well against their very capable and able opponents, the Oregon City high school team, at Oregon City, last Friday evening. There were eight matches on the card, three of which were won by our boys, Bill Johnson, Tom Anayah and Charles Fagerstrom. All won by two consecutive falls. They were masters of their men and won handily. Bill won his first fall in 15 seconds, the second in a little longer period, while the other boys pinned the shoulders of their men to the mat in comparatively short order. Charles Morgan, Karl Muller, William Markishtum, Thurman D’Marris and Francis Green, the other mem bers of our team, were not so masferful, but lost only after struggles that covered the time limit. The latter mentioned are new and inexperienced grapplers who have been working out but a very short time and of whose development Coach Sanders is quite optimistic. The coach as well as the boys is looking forward to the return match that is hoped will be held here shortly. The boys came home with much praise and high re gard for Coach King and his team for their splendid sportsmanship.
