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:

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.
