T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN P age 4 BASKETBALL The varisty will have its first taste of competition when they play at Jefferson this Friday. Only two veterans remained from the previous year but all are a bunch of determined fighters. Like to have as many that can attend be there and back the team. INTER-SHOP LEAGUE Printers and Commercial 11 Barbers and Bakers 13 The shop league basketball tournament began by the printers and commercialite class losing a heart breaker on “gobbler day,” to the barbers and bakers. No kind of strategy was used by either team and both depended on “mother luck” to win the game. John Decker, the “printer’s devil” gave the hair pullers and dough slingers all the trouble they wanted. It was a close game and the result of the score indicated it, 11-13. A return game will be played on December 15th and we are “putting you wise to save your nickels and dime’ ’ for the printers plan to print tickets for this coming fray. No complimentary tickets will be given out. Shoemakers and Pre-vocationals 20, Cooks 14 The cooks failed in their attempt to boil the shoe makers. The dwarfs tick-tack-toed their way to a 20 to 14 victory over the “hash throwers.” During the warm-up period of the second half the cooks came back with a “do or die” expression on their faces (something that looks like fried beef steak) but failed to penetrate through the offense of the shoe repairers. The cooks failed to bring back the bacon. Engineers and Plumbers 14, Mechanics 41 The engineers and plumbers were overwhelmingly defeated by the mechanics. It was a great game for the mechanics but to the public it was terrible. Tailors 23, Farmers and Dairymen 29. The farmers plowed through rock when they en countered the tailors but finally managed to win in the closing minutes of the battle. The tailors planned to run the farmers ragged and afterward sew them up but “Christy Crusty” Amyotte’s needle-eye was not coor dinating with his threader finger. He says the hand is quicker than the eye. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE This schedule is not complete and will be revised at a later date. Dec. 7, Jefferson, there, boys and girls. Dec. 15, Open.

SENIOR COMMERCIALITES The senior commercials gave a program the day after Thanksgiving in which everyone took part. The opening number on the program was given by Laura Walters giving a synopsis on the history of Thanksgiving day. Laura certainly did a fine job and enlightend our minds somewhat as to the observance of Thankgiving. A quartet sang the opening song and the singers were; Laura Walters, Gertie Adams, Myrtle Spanish and Thresa Decelles. The following number was a short Pantomine en titled “Wild Nell, the pet of the plains.” Threasa Decelles acted the part of Lady Vere De Vere the English heiress. Evelyn Goerge did justice to the part assigned to “Handsome Harry, the King of the Cowboys,” who is supposed to be a big strapping fel low with broad shoulders. Gertie Adams played the part of “Sitting Bull, the Indian Chief.” Myrtle Spanish, of course, being the pet of plains showed great ability in the heroic part of “Wild Nell.” She insisted on dying on a chair instead of on th*1 Poor like she should of, nevertheless it was very good. It was read by Muriel Pratt. We were all having such a wonderful time. It seems that in all things in life we are brought back to the serious side of life with a start and this wasn’t to be an exception we were to learn later. For just as we were getting all set for the eats Miss Hoffman was called and informed that she was needed at home. When one is summoned home it usually makes them happy but when tragedy awaits them I’m sure that you understand how a person feels and we hope Miss Hoffman finds everything as well as can be expected. We also hope that the junior class will cooperate with us and do the very best they can in their studies while Miss Hoffman is gone. We feel that we should lighten her burden by being A-l students while she is away. Be honest to yourself and by being honest to yourself you are honest to everyone with whom you may come in contact.
