The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Page 4 The pupil service at the hospital has been improved by the addition of another nurse, Miss O. L. Blow ers of Salem, who is satisfactorily filling the position. CHEMAWA HOLDS ROOKS In the opening game of a double header Chemawa played the Oregon State College rooks. The rooks scored once in every quarter, but according to size of both squads and individual players they should have run up a much larger score. In the last two periods the rooks were very much bewildered by the braves’ passes. Eight out of nine were completed, but none long enough for touchdowns. The final quarter ended with the score, Chemawa 0 Rooks 24. Last year’s score was 44 to 0, which speaks well for Chemawa. CHEMAWA BEATS VANCOUVER Last Friday the Chemawa braves traveled to Van couver, Washington, where they played the high school and won a hard-fought game by the lone score of 6 to 0. Chemawa’s boys were listless, there were few times when the backs or the line hit as hard as they were capable of hitting. The score came late in in the final period after a long drive featuring line smashes by Meachem and off-tackle and end runs by Franklin. The ball being in position to score, with but about one minute to play, Thomas flipped a pass to lyall who ran for a touchdown. This pass was al most knocked down. Next Friday there is a tentative game with Colum bia University High School at Chemawa. The seniors won division one volleyball champion ship. The juniors were second, while the sophomores and freshmen trailed. Division II is now finishing its tournament. The local F. E. U. members held a business meet ing on the evening of October 14th and elected officers as follows: Mr. Mason, president; Mr. James, trea surer; Miss Cruise, secretary. A campaign, or drive, for new members was inaugurated on the basis of a contest, the losing contestants to stage a party for all hands. The party is to be held pretty soon and Messrs. Allen, Boyce and Perkins are the committee appointed to arrange all details connected with the function. As we were preparing to go to press the school was visited by Princess Ataloa, Chickasaw Indian contralto and lecturer from Bacone College, Oklahoma, who honored all Chemawa by appearing here. The entire faculty and student body assembled in the auditor ium on Monday afternoon, where Supt. Ryan gracious ly introduced this justly noted young lady. As a lecturer and as a vocalist Princess Ataloa charmed everybody. She is truly both gifted and highly edu cated—in every way a charming personality. Her visit at Chemawa seemed all too brief. We feel happy to report that for some considerable time Mr. Henderson and those connected with him in business have been engaged at the task of building a room adjacent the store especially for the display of all kinds of Indian art products. A couple of weeks ago many people received cards inviting them to be present at the opening ot this room in which was found a most interesting stock of a most varied description and typical of various sections of the country. The room and everything in it makes an artistic appeal that as practically irresistable. Refreshments were served all guests and the opening proved an unforgetable event in every particular. Organizations and Departments LOCAL MISCELLANEA A new metabolism apparatus has been added to the hospital laboratory equipment recently. R. G. Henderson recently installed a new visible 10-gallon gasoline pump. It connects with a 100-gal- lon tank. Miss Edna Groves, chief supervisor of home eco nomics in the Indian Service, made Chemawa a brief visit last Friday. Miss Groves is always most welcome at Chemawa. Mr. Carl W. Turner, one of our academic teachers, almost suffered a serious accident recently when he allowed bis auto to dispute the right-o’-way with a Southern Pacific train. He lost a bumper off his auto —a mighty close call! During our chapel exercises last Sunday evening Supt. Ryan introduced Supervisor Arentson of the Indian Office who made the talk of the evening and it was truly one of unusual value to our students, and others as well. In addition to the address Alice Sla ter and Marie LaFrance both contributed fine vocal solos on request and the orchestra played an overture. The bill of fare of the students' dining hall would in dicate that our coming chefs are now securing practice in frying fish and steaks. The gardeners have demonstrated their ability by growing enough cabbage for thirty-one barrels of saur kraut. The boys studying cooking in the students’ dining hall will present the appearance of real chefs when the new cook uniforms arrive. Company I, or the second company at McBride Hall, is ahead this week in retaining points. This is the only company which still has all its points so far. The juniors held their first class meeting on Oct. 8 for the purpose of electing officers. The following were elected: President, Leo Cottonoir; vice-president, Peter Levay; secretary, Vincent Pratt; girls’ treasurer, Alice Ladderoute; boys’ treasurer, Lewis Pitt; sergeant-at- arms, Joe Ball; reporter, Frances Jones; song leader, Alice Slater; yell leader, William Demmert.
