Chemawa loses to Jefferson, 36 to 21.
In a dense fog and the roads covered with sleet, the
braves motored to Portland on the evening of January
18 and took a trouncing from the Jefferson high
school.
No scribes attended the game but Chief
Larnard says that the school had about five teams and
each team had a center in height of over six feet.
Oh-o-o-o! “My kingdom for a tall Indian.” Capt.
Labreche was the star of the game with 10 markers.
Braves win tight contest, 34 to 31.
The redskins are always getting in close contests
and managed to come through with the long end in
their game with Independence on Jan. 21.
The starting line-up was: Labreche and Shoulder-
blade at forwards; Adams and Archambeau at guards;
Sanderville, center.
The redskins started out fast and had a good lead
before their opponents made a field goal. The op
ponents creeped up in the close of the first half mak
ing the score 19 to 13.
In the second half, Independence changed their
tactics and were on the verge of taking our scalp when
SpottedEagle, one of our fleet-footed Copperskins came
on the massacre in the niche of time and with the first
shot sewed the game up which was followed with an
other by Joe Russel, making the margin a little wider.
The final score ended in our favor, 34 to 31.
In a preliminary game the girl’s did their bit by nos
ing out the girls team 22 to 26.
Independence slightly reverses tassel, 29 to 30.
On January 28 the braves motored to Independence
and were vetoed victory but not by a two thirds ma
jority in a fast game when the score ended 29 to 30.
The opponents started with a swift breaking offence
and thier plays were clicking like a clock. The first
half ending 19 to 4. The braves came back after the
rest period and the medecine man clandestinely per
formed some of his “vaudville tricks” for the braves
were in high spirits and just about vetoed this school’s
independence but a clever speaker, better known as
the time keeper with his whistle saved the school.
Monmouth defeats Chemawa in lopsided tilt ,31 to 17.
With a hard game the previous night the braves
just could not get going. This team was twice beat
en by Independence but the braves sharp-shooters were
unable to find the net for our bag was pretty near
empty when the final score was announced 31 to 17

SENIOR BALL
Huge success marked the annual Senior Bali, given
by the seniors in the gymnasium on the night of January
26. Approximately three hundred people attended the
gala affair. It was a most romantic scene with girls
in evening gowns, the interior draped in a bewildering
manner with red and white crepe paper, fur boughs
and dim colored lights to add a more gorgeous sight
with its light effect.
It was the most colorful event with several prizes
being offered. The prize waltz was awarded to Henry
Sijohn and Alice Alexander. Three beautifully dec
orated cakes were given as door prizes to the following:
Mr. F.J.Rickard, Edward Case, Anna Washbrekoff.
A very delightful refreshment was served during the
intermission.
The Blind School orchestra did themselves credit
with their professional-like playing and rendered music
that was far superior to the ordinary. Manuel Mose,
an Indian member of the orchestra, displayed a won
derful playing ability.
Many former students and other people were attract
ed to the event.
The young gentlemen enjoyed the
privilege of escorting their girl friends.
Supt. and Mrs. Ryan entertained at dinner, Tues
day evening in honor of Arnold McKay. Included
in the Ryans’ hospitality were Robert Thomas, Julian
Larnard, Fred Rickard, Whitney Comeau, and the
guest of honor.
