P age 4 T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN ATHLETICS CHEMAWA VS. OREGON CITY On Saturday October 15, the Chemawa Indians re venged themselves for the 40-0 drubbing they received last year from Oregon City high by trouncing the Card inals to the tune of 6 to 0. The game was one of the best played on the local gridiron in recent years. Our goal was never seriously threatened, while the Cardinals were continually fighting in the shadow of their goalposts, being placed there by the accurate toe of Leonard Vivette which placed no less than six punts out of bounds within the 10-yard line. Oregon City's punters had difficulty in getting the ball away and never pushed Chemawa deep into her own terri tory. The Indians put over three touchdowns only to have two called back on account of penalties. The lone score of the game came in the third quarter when Vivette caught a 25 yard pass from Thomas and ran 5 yards to a touchdown. Olney, Emmons, Churchill and Vivette all did some very fine work in “totin” the pigskin. Meachemand Cook backed the line to perfection. On the line Leon ard John distinguished himself by making the most tacklesand ‘Brunoe, Walters, Teehee & Co.” out- charged all opposition. The next game will be with Silverton at Silverton on Friday, Oct. 28. Chemawa is now a temporary member of the Wil lamette Valley Interscholastic league and will partici pate in basketball and baseball with the other members. GIRL’S ATHLETICS The outcome of our volleyball games: The dining hall has been victorious over the laundry and hospital. The hospital in turn has defeated the sewing room. The girls are putting a great deal of interest into their gym classes as they are receiving a credit for work done in gym this year. CLASS HAPPENINGS The freshman class held a meeting on October 13 in the auditorium. They elected the following officers: President, Wilbur Pepion; vice-president, Irma Charles; secretary, Eliot Palmer; treasurer, (boys), Gale Bobb; treasurer, (girls), Dorothy Tee Hee; reporter, Eugene Ray; sergeant-at-arms, Charles Courville. The class fee is 25 cents. It would be greatly appreciated if all the members of the class would pay their dues at once. The seventh grade has not yet held a class meeting, however, as soon as our sponsor is selected we will hold one. We all hope it is decided soon. We are now studying in our social science about the New England region and how they make a living. One of the students of our class has been doing excellent work since the beginning of the term. She has been promoted to the eighth grade. That student is Mar garet Spanish, but there are many other brilliant stu dents in our class. Anne Stevens is to take music lessons—we hope some day she will be a great pianist. Just recently Agnes Hall was elected leader of 7-G-l \Tolleyball team. During the week of Oct. 10-15 the junior history class took three days for celebrating. The days that wrere celebrated were: Oct. 11, honoring Count Pulaski; Oct. 12, honoring Columbus; and on Oct. 14, Fire Prevention Week was celebrated. A movie was given in the auditorium on Fire Prevention for the junior history class. On Oct. 21 the 11-3 class of boys listened to the 135th anniversary program of Old Ironsides, which was broadcasted from the Washing ton D. C. navy yard. The eighth graders this year number 130. The new ones have lost their bashfulness and are now taking part in all activities and acting at home. Elsie Smith brought honor to the class by rating A-plus in arith metic. Class 8-G-l is preparing letters to be sent to the pupils of Pennillville, N. Y., in which things of interest about our school are set forth. This same class has elected Deliah Morigeau captain of their volleyball team. On October 20 eighth grade members of the girl scouts attended a tea at the Wigwam. DOMESTIC SCIENCE The girls who study in the foods labratory at the Wigwam under Mrs. Melovidoff’s supervision are find ing the new equipment and recent improvements very valuable to them in learning to be good home-makers. The new equipment and improvements consist of two new gas ranges, a sink, an electric refrigerator, work table units, repainted walls, varnished floors, a black board, ironing board, remodeled pantry and some cook ing utensils. We w’ish to acknowledge our apprecia tion for all these things. The girls’ work is somewhat different than during previous years as the home economics staff compiled a new course of study during the past summer with the primary purpose of presenting to the girls the facts and practice which would most fit them to do voc ational home-making w’ork such as cooking, institution al management, dress-making, caring for children, et cetera. The seventh grade classes have centered their atten tion mainly on the preparation and service of break fast dishes and recently served complete breakfasts for practice, using the family style of service. The eighth grade have done practical canning, prepared invalid’s foods and are now beginning preparation of dinner dishes. Recently a few of the seventh and tenth grade girls prepared and served a dinner for 30 to a visiting foot ball team. Other guests were Mr. and Mrs. Gilliam and daughter Ann, Coach Lavelle and the visiting coach. Mr. and Mrs. D. Conklin and Mr. and Mrs. Bert Frey, of Samoa, California, were interested visitors at the school last week. Mr. and Mrs. Conklin were em ployed at the Sherman school last year and enjoyed the opportunity of looking over our plant. Mrs. Conklin and Mrs. Frey are former Chemawa students and their friends might know them better if we call them Addie and Gussie Cameron. They noticed many changes about the campus. Both are loyal boosters for old Chemawa and a credit to the school.
