Page 4 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN FINAL WEEK IN SPORTS Many sports have been crowded into the last weeks of school. In track, Jesse Jim and Orville Olney placed in the state track meet, and Levay, Emmons and Churchill placed in the Pacific meet in addition to Jim and Olney. The Sophomores walked away with an inter-class meet. In a special relay meet three rec ords of Chemawa were broken: Emmons set new marks in both 50- and 100-yard clashes: 5.4 and 9.9 are the new records. Levay raised the discus record to 188 feet and 6 inches. Jesse Jim had previously set a new mark for the mile run of 4.42. The baseball team has continued its championship showing despite the fact that several regulars are out of the line-up. Albany College was beaten 7-6 and Woodburn High 4-3 in a thirteen-inning game. This was a thriller as players reached third time after time only to be left on base. Linfield College could not ar range their schedule so as to play us a return game, thus losing their chance for revenge. Chemawa turned in another victory over Salem High last Saturday, thus ending an undefeated season. It looked for a time as though Salem would win, for at the end of the seven innings they were leading 1—0, but the Indians have a habit of coming through when needed at the last minute, and they pushed across one run in the eighth and another in the ninth. OUR COMMENCEMENT (Continued from page 1) We cannot recall having ever had a more pleasing graduation progam than was rendered this vear. It was not long enough to become the least bit weari some; on the contrary it was from beginning to close of absorbing interest. The address was made by Dr. J. B. Horner of the Oregon State College. Dr. Horner is one of the state’s most outstanding scholars and he is, as are all great men, the personification of sim plicity and kindliness. These qualities, together with his ability, attracted everyone to him at once and his address was listened to with rapt attention. Many and unusual were the thoughts that he presented to us. It was edifying and enjoyable and the speaker and what he offered us will not soon be forgotten. We thank Dr. Horner. In the evening the event of a life-time for many of our young people took place—the graduation exercises. Forty-eight students comprised the graduating class and it was quite impressive when, at the proper time Principal Christy called the names of the various grad uates and they marched across the stage to receive their diplomas from Supt. Ryan. Long life and good luck to them, individually and collectively. Now all they have to do is go out into the world and “make good’’ to the glory and honor of themselves and the grand old school they represent. The American trusts and believes that they will do just that. May they pros per and become influential citizens in whatever com munity they may elect to reside. They leave Chemawa with the good wishes of all, from Supt. Ryan down.

It was an occasion of unforgetable enjoyment for all. Delicious refreshments were served and the evening passed in pastimes that provided entertainment for all. MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES Our Memorial Day exercises were held in our auditor ium at ten o’clock last Monday forenoon, Supt. Ryan in charge. There was congregational singing of patrotic anthemsand James Scott sang \\ e are Tent ing Tonight on the Old Camp Ground,’’ and sang it well, too. At the proper time Supt. Ryan introduced the speaker of the day, Judge Hayden, of Salem, a veteran of the late world war. The talk was truly fine —appropriate to the occasion in every way—and we are all grateful to the speaker for his fine address. At the close of the exercises in the auditorium the stu dents formed in columns and marched to the school cemetery where proper observances were made in mem ory of our own dear departed. Charles DePoe and such band members as were still on the grounds assist ed in the march to and from the cemetery. Miss Katherine Reed, class of ’18, stopped at Che mawa for a short visit with Miss White yesterday, May 31. Miss Reed was motoring to Sherman Insti tute, Riverside, Cal., where she is employed as nurse.
