CHEMAWA FINALLY PLAYS A GAME
Chemawa Indians at last had a game in the form of
a practice session with Willamette University. The
college boys beat us 4 to 3, but had a hard time doing
it. Almost everyone in the squad had a chance to get
in the game. Vivette and Seltice worked well as pitch­
ers, giving Willamette but six hits between them.
Meachem played his usual good game behind the
plate. Kalama at second and Hall at first played good
ball and Bobb robbed two college boys of hits by ex­
ceptional fielding at third.
The game was called short because of the lateness
just as the boys were beginning to hit good. The bases
were filled in the last inning. All in all it was a pleas­
ing “first starter.”
TRACK
The track men traveled to Washington high last
Wednesday only to be rained out. Thus no reports
can be had from that meet as yet, although it will be
held some time later.
Chemawa entered the Vancouver Relays, but had
some ill luck in their results. Lonnie Weeks tied for
third in the high jump and our relay team came in third
on one occasion. The fact that several of our boys
had heats and events so close together had something
to do with the results.
Spring football practice is still in progress. The
boys are using a new formation and new plays to pre­
pare for next fall.
LOCAL
Katie Gartleman. outing pupil in Portland, visited
friends at Chemawa over the week-end.
Our Sextette Girls scored a grand success in singing
in Portland the last week-end. Misses Eakin and Judd
accompanied the girls to the metropolis.
The seniors wish to express their thanks to Miss
Font for a wonderful cake presented them after the
final act of the senior play last Friday evening.
Dr. Sisco and Mr. Larsen made a sort of health
survey at Siletz and Grand Ronde agencies lately.
They found quite a demand for the Doctor’s services
there.
Supt. Ryan has had quite a quantity of gravel spread
on the roads about the campus. This was a move
that was necessary and consequently greatly appre­
ciated.
Workmen are engaged at the task of reconstructing
the old chicken house just north of the campus into
garages. Fourteen cars can be housed there when
the work is finished.
Our chapel exercises on the Sunday evening of April
17th£were in charge of Supt. Ryan. During the eve­
ning Marie LaFrance and Mr. Williams appeared as
vocalists. Both sang splendidly and both were most
warmly received. The orchestra was also heard in a
concert number.
Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Hodge of Seattle. Wash., visited
Chemawa recently. Some twenty years ago Mr. Hodge
was enrolled as a student at our school. He seems to
be getting along very nicely in the ranks of civil life.
Irving Shepard passed the week-end at Chemawa,
the guest of his brother, Allan, who is an employe,
and with friends. Irving has passed the greater part
of the winter in Portland. He expects soon to leave
for Alaska, where he will be engaged during the fish­
ing season.
Martin Sampson, who graduated from Chemawa
more than twenty years ago, was a visitor here during
the past two weeks. Since leaving school he has been
engaged at logging and fishing. Martin is a regular
fellow, a credit to himself, his friends and his school.
His home is in Laconner, Wash.
Recently there arrived at Chemawa from Klamath,
Ore., Mr. and Mrs. Milton K. Smith and family. Mr.
Smith succeeded to the position of property clerk here
on the recent retirement of Mr. Kirk. We bid our
new employe and his family a hearty welcome to Che­
mawa and trust that they will be happy at our school.
Chapel on the evening of April 24th saw Mr. Grey
of Yakima Agency on the platform with Supt. Ryan
and Mr. Christy. During the exercises Supt. Ryan
introduced Mr. Grey, who made a splendid talk and
was given deservedly fine attention. Mrs. Cornick
appeared in a couple vocal numbers and was enthusi­
astically received. The orchestra played a “request”
number.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williams, both Chemawa
graduates, arrived here and passed a recent week-end
at their old school. Mr. Williams is engineer at the
government school at Warmsprings. He is quite a
vocalist and while here appeared in solos during une of
our chapel programs, reminding old-timers of the days
when Charlie was often heard, to the delight of all.
Chemawa is proud to claim both Mr. and Mrs. Wil­
liams.
The tailors are making the official C’s which will be
awarded to our athletes this spring at the “Jolly-Up.”
The letter this year will have on it a design designat­
ing the brand of sports in which the wearer partici­
pated—a football for the gridsters, a basketball for the
basketball artists, a winged foot for the trackmen, etc.
This project will require all the skill of the tailors and
the finished product will doubtlessly be something
worth working for.
