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.
