P age 4 T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN CHEMAWA 37, SILVERTON 0 On Friday, Oct. 28, the Chemawa Redskins went out and brought back the pelts of the Silver Foxes to the score of 37 to 0. The Indians were blocking and tackling harder than ever and as a result held Silverton to one first down while they were piling up 17. The one Silverton first down was the result of a pass, late in the third quarter. The Orange and Black could not pierce our heavy line and their vaunted passing attack was broken up by alert Indian backfield men. Chemawa’s superiority was evident from the start. It required only four plays in the opening minutes to score the first of the six touchdowns. L. Vivette, Olney and Dogeagle each crossed the enemy goal line twice, and Roy Meachem added one extra point. The first of Dogeagle’s markers was a brilliant 65-yard run in which he out-sprinted the entire Silverton backfield. Only in the third quarter, with Chemawa’s reserves in the game, did the teams battle on even terms. In that period Chemawa failed to score and was held to 2 first downs. Hood River high, conqueror of Chemawa last year, is our next opponent at Hood River on Armistice Day. A combined team of “all stars” and reserves got “touch-dowm fever” last Saturday and smothered Grande Ronde to the score of 45 to 0. Grande Ronde put up a stubborn defence in the first quarter but weight and fresh players enabled Chemawa to run up the huge score. Students possessing season tickets will be charged only 25 cents admission to the Chemawa-Salem night football game on Thanksgiving. The usual cost is 50 cents. These 25-cent tickets may be secured from the athletic directors in the near future. CLASS HAPPENINGS Langdon Parker won a speed and accuracy contest in arithmetic. Recently 7-B-2 boys got 100 percent in their home-wTork for an entire week. Elsie McKay, Arthur Williams and Raymond Ras berry of the 6-B class are in the hospital this week. Peter Sulkey received the highest mark in history test. Hooray! Our midget senior, Mark Penter, has ac quired the habit of wearing a necktie to his studies. Ann Whitesell, one of our former classmates, has announced her marriage to Danny Howard. We hope she will be happy. Here’s good news! The senior girls have gone over the top in the purchase of season tickets. This is a class of girls that doesn’t intend to miss out on any athletic or social activities. Come on, boys, let’s have that party together! Wednesday afternoon in history class the juniors had campaign speeches. Three girls advised to “vote for Roosevelt,” and three girls insisted, “vote for Hoover.” On Friday we will have our election in class. Mr. Lobdell, our seventh and eighth grade arith metic teacher, has recently gone to Portland to have his eyes attended to. Mr. Gilliam took his place and made a very fine teacher. We all hope that Mr. Lob dell will be back with us soon. * Indian Service News * In a recent issue of the Federal Employee there appears an article by Dr. W. Carson Ryan, director of education in the Indian service, on the Cultural Position of the American Indian. The discussion is a scholarly one and merits the per usal of all those really interested in the Indian. * * * Miss Anna M. Amon retired from the Service on Oct. 5 at the Phoenix Indian school. She served for 16 years at Phoenix, 12 in their domestic science department. Miss Amon retires with the good wishes of all her friends at Phoe nix and elsewhere in the Service. She expects to make her home in Brooklyn, New York. * * * Ground has been broken at Haskell Intitute for a new shop building, a much needed improvement. The work is to be done by students as part of their training in various trades. The building, a one-story structure, will be made of buff face brick, and will be constructed on the U-type plan. It is ex pected to be ready for occupancy early next spring. * * * Singers from the Bismarck Indian school for girls participat ed in the corner-stone laying ceremony at the new North Dak ota capitol building in Bismarck. Charles Curtis was the principal speaker and the girls were thrilled to have the Vice- President of the United States greet them after the program. Sharon R. Mote, present superintendent at Bismarck, was assistant superintendent and principal here at one time. * * ♦ The Junior Lions Club, a service club at Sherman Institute, elected new officers on Oct. 10. Elijah Smith, boys’ advisor, succeeds Kenneth A. Marmon as sponsor. Mr. Marmon’s many responsibilities, among them the printing department and the placement system, force him to relinquish his spon sorship. Mr. Smith was a crashing half-back on Dick Han ley’s Haskell teams and a former student at Carlisle. He is a graduate of Haskell. * * * A genuine ‘‘Big Time” was enjoyed at Flandreau on October 29. The occasion was Homecoming Indian Day and, all-inclusive though the title may seem to be, it doesn’t do justice to the program which Supt. Brophy and his cohorts had planned. Several hundred invitations were sent out to alumni, par ents, and prominent officials of national and local import ance. The day started with an inspection of the school by the guests, followed by the Indian Day parade in which every aca demic, vocational and school organization participated. Then came the address of welcome by Supt. Brophy, after which the school band appeared in a concert. In the afternoon a pro gram of Indian dances, pow-wow and stunts were given on the campus. At two o’clock the big homecoming game was staged. At night there was a dance in the gym, movies in the auditor ium, and parties in various halls and buildings. Every detail of each event was carefully worked out by groups of students under the supervision of faculty members.
