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.
