The CHEM AWA AMERICAN Page 4 CHEMAWA LOSES TO HOOD RIVER Hood River presented a very strong running attack and tricky passing plays to annex the larger end of a 20 to 0 score against Chemawa. This was not all of the story, however. The wind and an injury to Dowd Franklin had a decidedly demoralizing effect upon the members of the team, which would not shake off. Dowd had a spinal injury and was taken the Good Samari tan hospital at Portland. He is now back at Chemawa and is able to be about again. One of the highlights of the game came in the first quarter when Vivette kicked with the wind for a net total of 96 yards. The pretty spiral sailed over the safety man’s head and rolled clear to the other corner of the field. Meachem made half of all tackles in the first two periods. Chemawa has two games left, one on Nov. 20 with Oregon City, and the final game with the Salem High School on Thanksgiving Day. LOCAL Edgar Simmons left on Saturday night for Riverside, California, where he will fill the position of assistant advisor for boys at Sherman Institute. At the end of the last ten-weeks’ period seven of the food classes of Mrs. Melovidoff have served meals in accordance with the line of work which they have been studying. Each girl composing the various classes was privileged to invite a guest to some meal during the period, and these guests were either faculty members or students—or both. The Seventh Grade held its first class meeting on November 13th for the purpose of choosing officers and class colors and motto. Results were: President, John Blacketer; vice-president, George Carson; secre tary, Agnes Whitford; treasurer, Sam Shoulderblade; sergeant-at-arms, Manford Cody; yell leader, Vernon Jackson. Colors are Green and Gold; Motto is “Loy alty.” Miss Mary E. Davis, our art teacher, reports that there are some 200 students in her department. Sev en students attend regularly for half-day periods; these are Wesley Larson, Alex LaFromboise, Warren Wilder, Adam Williams, Woodrow Ball, Larry Orton and Clyde Redneck. The others receive art training in correlation with other subjects, and are from the shoe shop, paint shop, carpenter shop, tailor shop and domestic science department. Nineteen are taking art history and art appreciation for high school credits. On the evening of November 4th Supt. Ryan presid ed over a meeting of employes that he had summoned for the occasion. In a talk of nearly an hour’s dur ation Mr. Ryan touched upon many phases of duty that are most important in the proper functioning of the school. Many points not understood by all pres ent were discussed and made clear. At the close of the business session Mrs. Ryan, in the role of hostess, served most delicious refreshments, being assisted in the serving by a number of our lady employes. It was a thoughtful courtesy on the part of Mrs. Ryan and one appreciated by all. Our chapel exercises last Sunday were, as usual, in charge of Supt. Ryan. He took occasion to discuss the matter of support for our athletic events, urging all to arrange to purchase the season tickets that may be secured next Friday. He made the situation clear to all. At any rate, here is the plan in a nutshell: No one will be admitted hereafter to any of our sporting events without a ticket. If anyone lacks the money to purchase a ticket he may secure one by arranging to work for it. During our chapel exercises the pre vious Sunday a group of boys made their debut and sang well. Last Sunday evening Victor Smith ap peared in the role of vocalist and was spendidly re ceived. On each Sunday evening the orchestra play ed a pleasing number. Supt. Ryan was in charge during our Armistice Day exercises which were held in the auditorium. The speaker for the occasion was Lieut. O. D. Adams of the Salem post, American Legion. He proved in ev ery particular to be a most interesting gentleman and gave a remarkably lucid word picture of the sections of the country, France and Belgium, in which he served during the war “Over There.” Supt. Ryan voiced the sentiments of all when he thanked Lieut. Adams from the platform on the conclusion of his ad dress. Chemawa's part of the program was good, and consisted largely in singing songs of a patriotic char acter. “Taps,” unusally well played by Mr. Bent, closed our memorable program. We wish to mention our satisfaction and pride in the order of the students throughout the program—it was splendid. On Tuesday evening of last week Mrs. Ryan was hostess at her house in a “shower” honoring Miss Evelyn lyall, a young lady employe who is quitting the service to get married. On the Friday evening following Mrs. Ryan again entertained at a like func tion, this time honoring Miss Grace Peterson, who is also quitting the service to wed. In both instances the affairs were attended by a large number of friends of the brides to be. Unforgetable entertainment was provided and dainty and delicious refreshments were served on each occasion. Rumor has it that Miss lyall is to marry Archie Graycloud of Minneapolis, Minn., and Miss Peterson to wed Alex Gouley now of Portland, Oregon, both grooms to be having been students at Chemawa and both are worthy young men. The American joins a host of friends in wishing these young people long life and great happiness.
