DOINGS AT PRACTICE HOUSE
A group of girls moved into the practice house re
cently. The girls and their duties during the first
week are listed below: Helen Shaughnessy, cook;
Mary lyall, 1st waitress; Cassie Ball, 2nd waitress;
Evelyn Placid and Margaret Landergren, housekeeper;
Maudie Marshall, hostess. Miss Strauch keeps a close
check on whether or not the girls are performing their
duties. Everyone has been doing fine so far. Es
pecially Helen Shaughnessy as cook—the girls enjoy
her cooking very much—she is both prompt and effi
cient.
Dorothy Teehee, Herman Grant and Uriah Alex
ander were practice house guests on Nov. 17. Miss
Semanski was a guest for breakfast on the 18th. They
hope she enjoyed being a guest as much as the girls
enjoyed having her.
LOCAL
Raymond Bagley returned to school last week. He
had been working for the E. C. W. in Washington.
Donald Brown, a former student, returned to Che-
mawa Saturday to attend school and prepare himself
for a short college course.
Miss Audrey Lavelle, of Portland, visited with friends
in Salem and Chemawa Sunday. She was a guest of
Miss Vivian Larson while visiting the school.
Josephine Sommers, dietician in the Good Samar
itan hospital in Portland, visited her many friends
here last Sunday. She was the guest of Mr. and^Mrs.
Mason.
Mr. Joseph Hall, instructor in barbering, had the
misfortune to catch his left hand in the door of a car
last week. Immediate and expert medical attention
enables him to continue with his work but under a
considerable handicap.
Mrs. William B. Showalter has just returned from
a prolonged visit to her home where she was called by
the serious illness of her father. We are happy to
learn that he is recovering very nicely now. Needless
to say, Mr. Showalter was glad to have her back.
A recent report from sources vested with authority
substantiates the early grapevine telegraph report of
turkey for both students’ and employees’ Thanksgiving
dinners. Ere long the day will arrive when we will
all be munching happily on drumsticks and various
other choice portions of Mr. Gobbler.
During the past week there has been a great deal of
tearing down and piling up in the vicinity of the
plumber shop. The activity centered about the old
well-house, one of Chemawra’s landmarks, which is
at last succumbing to the wrecking bar to make way
for a newr and modern plumbing shop.
A recent subscriber to the A merican was William
Wall, a Chemawa graduate with the class of 1929.
William is working on the Big Horn County News of
Lodge Grass, Mont. , and expressed great appreciation
for the training received at Chemaw’a. He is now a
married man and greatly interested and absorbed in
the business of providing groceries for the family. We
w’ere very proud to receive this good newrs about one
of our old “print boys.”
James Rosario enrolled in Salem high school two
weeks ago and he is doing very good work in his
studies. James is taking a preparatory course for
commercial law.
On Wednesday, Oct. 15, the junior class held a try
out to discover spellers for the inter-class spelling
match to be held Dec. 26. The other classes should
be on similar searchs for talent.
An affair of no little importance to the invited guests
and Alice was the “feed” given Sunday night after
chapel by Mrs. Wilcox. The occasion celebrated the
anniversary of the birth of Alice Bachman. The
party was enjoyed more than somewhat by one and all.
On Nov. 10, the student girls working in the club
gave a very delightful party to a number of their boy
friends in the club dining-room. The campus orches
tra was invited and furnished music for dancing and
entertainment. Mary lyall and Marie Farron each
sang a vocal solo as a part of the program. Mrs. Wil
cox, Miss Cruise and Miss Hoffman were faculty
members invited. After a good time at games and
dancing the girls served a delicious luncheon.
BRAVES BATTLE ALBANY TO TIE
Chemawa’s fighting little football team w’ent on the
field Monday, Nov. 13, and did themselves proud.
Out-weighed at least twenty pounds to a man they out
fought the husky Albany reserves and held them to a
scoreless tie. On twTo occasions they held the bull-like
rushes of the collegians on their own one-yard line.
In the second half Albany attempted to pass and the
Indians intercepted. Chemawa then tried the aerial
attack only to be stopped by the reserves intercepting
their pass. A short while later the Indians again in
tercepted a pass intended for a collegiate end, mak
ing three intercepted passes in succession.
The starting line-up for Chemawa was as follows:
Ends, Arlee and Vivette; tackles, Greene and Adams;
guards, M. Anderson and W. Parker; center, Keyote;
halves, Alexander and Gates; quarterback, LaBresche;
full-back, Emmons.
