The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Page 4 WHLETICS CHEMAWA BEATS WOODBURN In a game which saw the Chemawa varsity at its best, the Indians swamped Woodburn by a 50-11 count. There were few times during the game when the ball wasn’t “pouring” through the basket. During the third quarter only three points were made, which was due probably to substitutions and a sense of security. The high point man was Leonard Vivette, with sixteen points. The guarding was good, enabling the forwards to get easy “shots” at the basket before a suitable defense could be formed. The class “B” team won their game by a good margin, thus placing themselves at the head of the county class “B” League. According to “George Washington” Rickard’s “Believe-it-or-Not” Ellen Nickelson’s principal parts of speech are, “Set ’em up.” Mae Decelles eats four meals a day and still has a good appetite. Due to Ethel Protor’s absence, Essie Bedard acted as secretary. LOCAL On the evening of January 11th a program of un usual interest was put on under the auspices of the local Red Cross society, directed by Miss Fout of our hospital force. The program consisted of a “talkie” —“Symbol of Mercy,” a vocal number by our girls’ sextet, a playlet, trombone solos by Mr. VosBurgh, address by Judge Rossman, and presentation of di plomas to a class of twenty-eight girls by Miss Fout. It was in every way a most interesting program. OREGON CITY BEATS CHEMAWA The strong Oregon City quintet reversed conditions and led the Indian five the entire game. Chemawa missed many easy throws at the start of the game and got so far behind that they couldn’t catch up. After throwing away many chances and making numerous bad passes they finally settled down to business, but by then it was too late. The score was 44-33. The class “B” team came through with another win, which was their most impressive. Fine passing and breaking was the secret which put them into position for many shots which they made. Sam Shoulderblade was high man, with thirteen points, with Amera just one point behind. Chemawa plays West Linn again on West Linn’s floor. Only five runners competed in the class cross country run. WRESTLING Coach Sanders now has quite a number of wrestlers working ont every night. The boys are mostly all new to the game. How ever, a few veterans remain over from last year, among them, Frank Dummont, George Goujon, Le Roy Pep- ion. Their first match will be with Salem High on the 20th, following closely by another match with the Y. M. C. A. in Portland. Pepion and “Lindy” Dum mont are going to make the best in the state step at their weights, along with a few others. SENIOR ROTATERS The Senior Rotaters held a short and snappy meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 13. On account of illness, about ten members were absent. After all the business had been discussed, a short but interesting program was given, consisting of the following numbers: Violin Solo..................................................

MISCELLANEA Since the first of the year these new names have been added to the auto shop classes: Leo Cottonoir, George and Lloyd Baker. We now have an enroll ment of twenty-three. Ignition timing and wiring is the chief occupation at present. ‘ ‘To make a good floor paint display, ’ ’ says Kenneth Galbreath, “don’t use cans of floor paint but why, when and where.” . . For the past two weeks the painters were painting the rooms and halls at the practice house. . . We are now painting the hall way in old Brewer Hall. During the first week of January 190 pairs of shoes were repaired by the shoe shop boys. We have sev eral sets of Chemawa farm harness on hand to be re paired just as soon as the harness leather arrives. We have been out of harness leather for several weeks. Lolia Johnson is a new member of the freshmen class of 9-B-4. She’s from Idaho and we were glad to have her, as we think she will prove a good member. We hear that Dorothy Pursur is not coming back to Chemawa. We are sorry because Dorothy was al ways ready for a recitation. Since the divisions have changed we have to go to school in the afternoon. We find it harder to study soon after we have eaten a big dinner, and done our forenoon detail work. The eighth grade boys will miss Johnnie Arnoux since he has returned to his home. His teachers say they are sorry he has gone. The students of the seventh and eighth grades have been taking the“New Stanford Achievement Tests.” These tests tell us more than we know about ourselves. We hope they bring good news to all of us. The eighth grade has been learning the correct use of the verb “burst.” Some of us were surprised to know there was no such word as “bursted.” We thought of course there was, because we had used, it all our lives.
