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

and Washington on April 13th at Portland and then

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.
