Summary of Sport Activities
Salem Noses Out Braves
When the Chemawa Indians invaded the Vikings’
Court last Tuesday, Dec. 29, 1942, they lost a hard-
fought battle, 36-34.
The Vikings jumped into the lead, but the Indians
were never behind more than five points. Since the
Indians were playing a tight defensive game, the
Vikings had to shoot from way out.
At the end of the first quarter the score stood 11
to 9 in favor of Salem.
When the second quarter opened, the Indians
started to hit the hoop to come within four points
of the Vikings, when the half-time stopped the scor-
>ng-
In the third quarter the Indians were still going
strong as ever to overtake the Vikings. With about
three minutes to go the Indians forged ahead 3Ito
26, as the final count for the quarter.
The last period had the fans on their toes, when
the Vikings kept slicing the Indian lead to three
points. With three minutes left to play the score
stood 34-34. Then the Vikings scored their final
two points with seconds to go.
Whitford, Williams, and Edden were the stars for
the Chemawa Indians. Whitford made 10 points
and Williams and Edden made 8 apiece.
Farlow and Sevarvared saved the game for the
Vikings with long shots.
Braves Nip Silverton
Chemawa hung up their first league basketball
game win over Silverton, Dec. 22, on the Foxes’ home
floor.
Silverton played a good game, but the Indians were
“on” that night.
The half-time score was 14-4 in Chemawa’s favor.
Whitford was high-point man for the Indians with
14 points.
The game was close enough to keep the spectators
interested.

Items of Interest
Miss Ila White was transferred to Sequoyah Indian
School at Talequah Oklahoma, leaving Chemawa
Dec. 28. Miss White was very well liked by both
students and teachers and she will be missed at
Chemawa.
Miss Evelyn Ahern, who recently joined the Army
Nurse Corps, has been sent overseas.
At the Jan. 5th assembly, new song books which
have been purchased for the whole student body,
were used for the first time. These books contain a
good variety of songs—old ballads, patriotic and re­
ligious songs. Miss Rector led the singing. We hope
to learn a number of these songs and have many
happy times singing together, with a much brighter
spirit.
Hurrah! Senior Carnival Coming!
Come one, come all! Come to the Annual Senior
Carnival being held at the gym. (Watch the calen­
dar and posters for the date.) Have a real evening
of fun, then dance and eat until you’re sleepy.
We guarantee you a good time at the games, fish
pond, and other booths.
Beautify yourself at the beauty parlor then find
out what your future holds in store for you at the
fortune-telling booth.
So, come on, everyone! Have some real fun!
Religious Education
Chemawa is fortunate in having two well liked
directors of religious education this year: Miss Mar­
garet J. Harris and Reverend Louis G. Rodakowski.
Miss Harris is sent to us by the Home Mission
Council of N. A. She conducts a morning church
service and an evening Vespers every Sunday on the
campus. She has consented to be leader of Hi-Y
and Girl Reserves, groups which will be organized
soon.
Reverend Rodakowski, from St. Vincent de Paul
Catholic Church in Salem, conducts high school
classes in religion for Catholic boys and girls, on
Wednesday each week. Similar classes are planned
for grade school children. He holds catechism 9:30
and Mass at 10:00 a.m. every Sunday on the cam­
pus.
