The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Page 4 LOCAL FIRST TRACK MEET WON BY CHEMAWA Chemawa won the first meet of the season from Washington high school of Portland, by a score of 65 to 55. The result was in doubt up to the time of the final relay race which was the most exciting event of the day. Churchill gave Chemawa a lead in the first lap but that lead was cut down until in the third the Washington man had almost a ten-yard head start. He was overhauled and nosed out by Emmons however, which ended the day in Chemawa’s favor instead of a tie. Other results were: 100-yd. dash, Churchill (C) 1st, Arlee (C) 2nd, Emmons (C) 3rd. 120 yd. high hurdles, Halloway ( W) 1st, Collins (W) 2nd. 440-yd. run, Wilson (C) 1st, Lewis (W) 2nd, Kirkpatric (W) 3rd. 220-yd. dash, Churchill (C) 1st, Emmons (C) 2nd, Harrow (W)3rd. 220-yd. low hurdles, Hoskins (W) 1st, Fred (W) 2nd, Olney (C) 3rd.

Chemawa will have a triangular meet with Franklin and Washington on April 13th at Portland and then go to Vancouver on the 16th. D. Brown and D. Little swallow, track managers, are showing exceptional form in handling equipment and track men. BASEBALL AT CHEMAWA The baseball team is rapidly getting into shape de spite many setbacks. The weather being better for ducks than baseball players, it has been necessary to confine practice within the gym. Numerous games have had to be called off because of rain, etc., and on last Saturday Willamette added an other disappointment by failing to appear because their team was not well enough organized. The Willamette manager failed to notify Chemawa of this, which caused some little delay until a game could be organized be tween the first and second teams. The two lettermen, Urban Brunoe, and Jim Walters, are doing fine work as managers of the baseball team, which is greatly appreciated by the team and coach, although it does at times seem like a thankless job. SPRING FOOTBALL The athletes of Chemawa are kept busy lately with track, baseball and football going on at the same time. Football practice goes on after supper until too dark to see the ball. Many new boys are out along with the experienced ones. It now looks like a champion ship calibre group, and if everyone comes back to school next fall, should go far in the high school ranks. INTRA-MURAL Shop League baseball is now narrowing down to three teams—carpenters, cooks, and shoemakers. There should be some exciting games from this trio. The sophomores and freshmen have each won a game from the juniors and seniors respectively and are now leading the inter-class league. Mr. Melovidoff, violinist, appeared in solos at the Willamette University one evening last week and was given a splendid reception. Mrs. Daniel Kleihege was at the piano and gave him fine support. Inquiries as to reference for James Kelly, Chemawa graduate with the class of 1931, have recently been received here from one of the large merchandise stores of Spokane, Washington. The school is glad to give this young man satisfactory references and it is hoped that he may succeed in getting the position for which he has made application. The rainy weather the last two weeks has not been conducive to much work outside, but between show ers the orchard boys are pruning the old orchards. Considerable dead wood, a few broken trees and stubs are being removed. About three-fourths of the fruit trees were covered with the dormant spray before the return of rainy weather halted spraying operations. Chapel last Sunday evening and for the previous week was in charge of Supt. Ryan. Last Sunday evening Alice Slater sang "Carmina” by Wilson and did splendidly. On the Sunday before she and Marie LaFrance and Melba Arnoux sang a trio arrangement of ‘ ‘ Pale Moon ’ ’ by Logan to the credit of the vocalists. On each Sunday the orchestra contributed a concert number. Ida Pelican, who graduated here last spring and entered a nurse’s training course in one of the Spokane hospitals, has been at her home in Waconda, Wash ington, the past few months caring for her mother who has been ill. We are informed that Ida plans to return to Spokane to continue her training in a week or so. Chemawa hopes that she will continue to make good with this work. Mrs. Ruth Denny of Tacoma, Wash., was here re cently, visiting her sisters, Mrs. Turney and Mrs. Mason. Mrs. Denny was raised at Chemawa and is well acquainted with many of our old-time employes. At present she is employed at Tacoma Sanatorium. Mr. Joseph Ruzicka, engineer at the sanatorium, motored down to see some friends in Salem and Mrs Denny embraced the opportunity to visit her old home. The BoyScout “Court of Honor’’ will be held here at Chemawa on the night of April 20th at 8:00 o’clock. The doors of the auditorium will be open at 7:00 o’clock for review. There will be about 75 boys or more in advance Scout work. At least 20 of our boys will advance at that time. We can consider ourselves fortunate to have this affair at our institution. No doubt it will benefit ns all. Both of our troops, 7 and 8, are working hard for some advancement. It is a fine thing for our Indian boys. Last Monday afternoon, a week ago, Mrs. Ryan was hostess at a tea honoring the ladies of the campus. She was assisted by quite a number of our ladies in the various social duties of the occasion. During the social period Miss Estep was at the piano in support of two of her youthful pupils in a dance which she had taught them. Mrs. Turney and Mrs. Kleihege played piano duets. In every way this affair was a most successful and entertaining event and fully up to the high stan dard set by Mrs. Ryan on former occasions.
