The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Page 4 SENIOR NOTES By Charles Morg-an Frances Tanner, assisted by Cecile Pepion, served the last of a series of breakfasts given by the Senior girls on Friday, Feb. 21. “Gege” Howard, who is employed at the auto shop, made known that the mechanics have just finished over-hauling the old sprayer. Mrs. Ralph Jones, formerly Edith Jefferson, visited her classmates recently. Emily Selatsee entertained her at a breakfast during her visit. She is making her home in Seattle, Wash. The Senior girls held a bread-making contest at the Wigwam. Lillian Hayden had the best looking loaf, but judging the bread from the Standard Score Card it was all first-class bread. Hurrah for the future cooks! When the wind ceased and all came to life it revealed one of our landmarks, a stately old maple tree which graced the front yard of McNary Hall, sprawled across the road as a victim of the severe wind. ANNUAL SONG, YELL AND POEM CONTEST On Tuesday evening of last week the various classes of the school staged a contest such as has become an annual affair as a birthday observance of the found ing of Chemawa. This was our “Golden Jubilee,” and it created unusual interest and the classes in the main showed great spirit and great ability. The classes each contributed a song, a yell and a poem, and some of the contributions were of real merit. The classes were all given support of the most enthusiastic nature. One of the most interesting features of the evening was an impromptu contest of yells which the classes put on while the judges were deliberating— the real thing! Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Kells, Dr. Mary C, Rowland, and Mr. Kittridge. all of Salem, were the judges, and they, too, showed unusual interest in the contest. There was some doubt in the minds cf the judges re- garuing certain work of the 11th and 7th grades and these classes were called upon to repeat their stunts. On repetition the 7th graders lost. Any way, it is a ease of “hats off” to the 7th graders, for they certainly covered themselves with glory. The eleventh grade took first place in song, yell and poem; the eighth grade got second place on their song; the 7th grade took second on yell and poem; the sen iors took third place in all, song, yell and poem. Summing up: First place was won by the 11th grade, second place by the 7th grade, and third place went to the seniors. March came in like a lamb all right. she goes out the same way. Let us hope CHEMAWA 35, WOODBURN 22 On Monday evening our basketball team played Woodburn high school at the Willamette University gym in easily the most hottly-contested game either team had played this season. It was just one contin uous burst of speed that's ail. To lose meant to be eliminated from the district tournament, and neither team liked that; naturally, they were ready to go with the first whistle and they waded in clear up to their necks. Woodburn scored first on a foul. Then our five scored several points and appeared to be well on their way to an early lead when a change in the Bull dogs’ line-up not oniv instilled them with pep and ginger, but started a scoring spree that did not end until they had gained the lead and held it. At half time the score stood 17 to 14 against us. The intermission was very well used by both teams, nothing much was said but “rest,” and the second half started without a single preliminary—not one bit of fussing around— it was every bit busine-s. Those who saw the gan e never were treated to a faster or a harder fought game anywhere this season. The ball was here, there, and everywhere, but no matter where there was always a bunch of men around it. Woodburn lead until late in the final quarter. But a deter mined five were not to be denied and their speed and endur ance tarried our team through tea r. al victory. With only a scant few minutes left to play and the score 22 to 20 in our favor Captain Prettyman and Leonard Vivette began to control the tip-off, and with more speed and accuracy in handling the ball, they scored with rapid regularity fganst a fast-tiring Bulldog team. The final sc' re was 35 to 22 in our favor. Jesse Prettyman md Marcus Simons, forwards; John Marsden, center: Leonard Vivette and Albert M. ler, guards, Were in our starting line-up. Captain Prettyman connec d for several close-in baskets just at the dose of the game. The baskets that put us out in front earlier in the contest was converted by John Marsden and Leonard Vivette. AT: wei long and timely. Buck Smith alternated with A bert M. ler at guard. He connected with his annual basket before the game was over. An account of the game w.th Salem high school which was played last night will be given in t next issue. Tomorrow the team plays Silverton high at Willamette. A newspaper clipping from Ketchikan, Alaska, chronicles the winning of the basketball championship of Southeastern Alaska by the high school of the place. In the line-up are three familiar names: Roy Perat- rovich, guard; Allie Smith and George Northrup, forwards. All are former students of Chemawa. In commenting on the work of the team the names of these three boys were especially mentioned as having been valuable assets throughout the season.
