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.

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
