—-Sw— The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Page 4 HLETICS SILVERTON BEATS CHEMAWA 17-18 In a fast but poorly played game, Silver Foxes nosed out the Indians by a one-point margin. Chemawa was leading for the entire game, but not enough to stave off the final thrust of Silverton, who sunk more field goals in the final half than did Chemawa. Many believe Chemawa to have had the better team, but were too over-confident to play the game they were capable of. Then, too, Chemawa has had little practice together because of the various activities during Christ mas vacation, and some even went home. In a preliminary game Chemawa “B” team beat Silverton 23-8 in a last half walkaway. This was a close game until towards the third period when Che mawa began clicking. INTRA-MURAL The cross-country run was postponed because of in clement weather, but will be held sometime this week. The seniors finally beat the freshies in an overtime (two periods) game. The 7th beat the 5th. The seniors are leading the league. LOCAL Coquelle Thompson, one of our outstanding grad uates, was a holidays’visitor at Chemawa. He is soon .to graduate from Oregon State College. Pretty good! During the month of December 565 pairs of shoes repaired in the shoe department. Two sets of farm harness were repaired, two music cases and three bill folds were made in the leather craft section. In addition to caring for industrial projects too num erous to mention, the tailors have to their credit the recent making of two suits for Santa Claus. They have also made a suit for William Demmert. Last Monday afternoon Mrs. Ryan was again host ess at a most enjoyable tea given at the “practice house.” All of the ladies of the school, some seventy all told, were invited guests and from what we heard it proved a memorable occasion for everyone. Mrs. Ryan is always a most gracious hostess. Mr. Allen reports that he has two full-time students, Herman LaCourse and Ben Ramsey, in mechanical drawing. These boys are studying with the idea of specializing in drafting. Herman LaCourse, in ad dition to his drawing, also is property custodian and general assistant. The boys in the regular drawing classes are showing increased interest, as we have reached a point where the practical aspects of the work can be really appreciated. Miss Myrtle Peters, our efficient financial clerk, has just enjoyed a vacation which probably seemed all too brief. Miss Grayce Johnson, a former graduate of this school, now on the teaching staff of the Indian school at Browning, Montana, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Mason during the recent holidays. This estimable young lady has proved her worth in more ways than one and friends in Chemawa rejoice personally in her successes. We are certainly pleased to report that Mr. Chas. E. Larsen is again on duty, after his long confinement in the general hospital in Corvallis as the result of a most serious accident. He has passed through an or deal which has has been fraught with great suffering, both mental and physical, but that is now all behind him and he is again “carrying on” most courageously, to the joy of his friends. Some years ago Chemawa had enrolled a bright eyed, active and ambitious young man named Cruz McDaniels. Since leaving here Cruz has been a civil appointee in the Indian service, working on various assignments for the position of boys’ advisor and passed with a high grade. We are just informed of his selection, with the rank of second lieutenant, as a re serve in the quartermaster’s department in the regular army. Not at all bad we opine. But Cruz’ ambi tion has not ceased to spur him on and we have learned that of late he has been studying law and will soon be admitted to the bar in Oklahoma. At present he is in Concho, Oklahoma. This proves what may be ac complished by a young man of right fiber. We are happy to note the rise of Cruz and congratulate him on his ambition and industry.
