P age 4 T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN They initiated two new members into the club. Wilma Lehr and Lorraine Dennis. A short program of nurs ery rhymes was given. The sponsor, Miss White, gave a talk on the program for the year. Monday, the 21st, we gave a Thanksgiving play. CHEMAWA AWARDED GAME In the regular playing time Hood River high school defeated Chemawa 7-0 in an Armistice day game, but we were awarded the game because Hood River played an ineligible man, Tom Swanson, who scored all of his team’s points. Swanson is a tenth term student. Che mawa is undefeated for the season but is out of the run ning for the state championship. Chemaw’a played listless ball during the first half and allowed Hood River to badly outplay us and score its seven points. Hood River made 8 first downs to none for Chemawa in the first half. During the second half the team played good foot ball and kept in Hood River territory most of the time but lacked the punch to score. During this half Hood River was held to one first down while the Indians gained six. Swanson, fullback, and Turner quarter were the outstanding members of the apple pickers. Meachem and Cook were outstanding on defense. Meachems line plunging gained most of Cnemawa’s yardage. Chemawa’s traditional rival, Salem high, will be played next on Sweetland field in a night game on Thanksgiving, Lets all get out there and back the team with loud cheering in the last big game of a successful season. This will be the farewell game for Roy Meachem, Howard Churchill, Ben lyall, Leonard Vivette and Leonard John.

We are making dolls to send to Siletz and Grande Ronde for Christmas gifts and a scrap book for the younger patients in child hos pitals. The girls who were in the practice house are very glad upon being able to return to the hospital, although their return caused the loss of Melba, Marie, Alice and Dora from our hospital force. We are all rejoicing as Doctor Sisco is on his way to recovery. Miss Fout has decided to pick out an honor student from the junior and senior divisions so as to avoid con fusion in the spirits.

President, War ren Wilder; vice-president, Leonard Vivette; sec retary, Vincent Pratt; treasurer, Domonic Dogeagle. Business that needed immediate threshing out was dis cussed. A pep rally, to precede the Hood River game was urged. The right kind of management for future athletic programs was carefully talked over. Because of the expenses of athletic activities, it was decided that each individual member should encourage the season ticket sale. We want to be of service but just have to to have the co-operation on the part of every one. Subscribe for the C hemawa A merican —50c per annum.
