The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Page 4 Mr. H. E. Neff, government auditor for this district, accompanied by Mrs. Neff, arrived here recently and Mr. Neff is now engaged at official work here. We are pleased to have them with us. CHEMAWA SPLITS WITH GRAND RONDE In an overtime game, during which there was scoring ga lore, Grand Ronde beat Chemawa 45-43 count at Grand Ronde. The score was tied 37-37 before the overtime period. The Grand Ronde court baffled our boys, especially in the first half. It was the smallest court played on for some time. . Simmons, of Grand Ronde, was high-point man with 19; Vivette, of Che mawa, next with 14. In a return game at Chemawa the next night, Chemawa showed their superiority in impressive style by beating Grand Ronde 36-18. After the first quarter there was no doubt as to which team would win. Chemawa, due to passing, kept the ball three-fourths of the time and kept a steady barrage of baskets throughout the game. Hatfield was high-point man with 12 points. The whole team contributed from four to six points each. This was the last game of the season, which was a successful one. No one team showed itself to be superior to Chemawa with the exception of Salem Hi in the second game, which was not a fair judgment, considering that all the first string was sick with the “flu.” The games lost were lost by one or two points and on one occasion five. Thus Chemawa was able to chalk up more points for the season than our oppo nents. Chemawa beat several teams who were champions in their districts, namely Oregon City, University Hi, and Mc Minnville. Our boys were good winners and good losers which is the proof of a good season. Seniors who played their last game were: Dogeagle, Hatfield and Franklin. De Poe will also be ineligible for next season. We are sorry to lose these players, for they all worked hard for Chemawa. WRESTLERS WIN FROM CORVALLIS Chemawa won five and lost three of the matches. Corvallis is considered one of the best balanced teams in the state and was easily the toughest match our grapplers have had this season. The boys who won their matches were: Courtney, L. Pepion, Peltier, Dumont and Gene Colegrove. W. Pepion, Olney and Sandberg won in exhibition matches. CHEMAWA PLACES SECOND Coach Sanders entered twelve men in the state wrestling tour nament. Out of this group one took the state championship and four placed second. Delmer Colegrove won the state championship in the 175, pound class and has another beautifnl gold medal. Chemawa placed four men in the finals. These four, who took second place, are: Gene Colegrove, 160; Olney, 150; Lee Pepion, 112; and Courtney, 105. LOCAL On the afternoon of March 7th Mrs. Ryan gave a tea at the practice house, honoring the ladies of the campus. This is a monthly feature with Mrs. Ryan and a most enjoyable one. As each month passes there is evidence of more and more interest on the part of the ladies. At every tea Mrs. Ryan is assist ed with the duties of hostess by various ladies of the campus who are chosen alphabetically. The music for the last tea was provided by Mrs. Turney. On March 5 Mr. Berry, school blacksmith, was mar ried in McMinnville to Miss Agnes Dowd of Grand Ronde. Both Mr. and Mrs. Berry are former students of Chemawa and The American offers them sincere and hearty good wishes. Mr. Rainey’s class in general science, section 9-B-4, visited the automobile department last Thursday morning. Mr. Hicks very ably explained the work ing parts of an automobile and the girls now feel that they know something about a car. Supervisor Hammond and Mr. Larsen returned some days ago from their trip to Southern Oregon. Imme diately after his arrival at Chemawa Mr. Hammond left for his home in Phoenix, Arizona. He is expected back at Chemawa at any time now. We have on our desk a number of interesting In dian Legends written and compiled by Joe White of Chemawa. Joe is attending Willamette University and these legends were submitted to the univeisity as a thesis. They are most interesting and are a credit to their author. We hope some day to include them in a collection of Indian Legends and stories that we contemplate publishing. Since our last issue Mrs. Ruth Bronson was an official visitor at Chemawa. She was here on what is termed an educational survey for the Indian, giving tests to students with a desire for higher education, also visiting the universities and colleges of this sec tion with a view to securing scholarships, etc. While here she made an interesting address one Sunday eve ning in chapel at the request of Supt. Ryan, who took pleasure in assisting her in her work during her visit here. We are pleased to receive a letter from Miss Flora J. Harper, a member of our graduating class of 1930. At present she is attending The Alaska Agricultural College, at College, Alaska, studying home economics. Last November she lost her father through death and is now fighting the battles of life alone—and fighting them bravely, too. She wishes us to convey to our readers and her acquaintances and friends her remem brances and good wishes. We are certain that she will succeed in all of her undertakings with the credit and respect which is her due. We have faith in Flora. Many of our employes and old-time students will remember Flora Dexter who graduated here some years ago and then entered the Service at the White Moun tain School in Alaska. Later she came back to Ore gon to attend the "tate normal school at Monmouth. Flora is an attractive young woman and well-liked everywhere After attending normal school for a sea son she returned to her home in Golovin. Alaska. In formation has reached us that she was married at her home during the i » i I ivs of last December, becoming the bride of Mr Arthur Peterson, formerly of Juneau, Alaska A host or friends here will unite with The American tn wishing Flora and her husband joy and success through ut a long life.
