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.”

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.
