The Chemawa Indians closed their season of
football with six wins and three losses. Being only
a “B” school the Indians did well against “A”
school competition.
Coach Thompson tried to get “B” league games,
but found this hard to do because of the Indians
strengh. Here is a brief summary of the season:

Picard Was Grid High Scorer
Calvin Picard led the Indians through the season
with a total of 57 points. He ended up in fourth
place on the Duration League scoring list. Follow­
ing Picard is Chet Ashman with 32 points, Fred
Kalama 18 points, Terry Francis 14 points, and Fred
Miller and Joe Pete with 6 points each.
The Chemawa Indian football team traveled to
Silverton on Thanksgiving Day to defeat the highly
favored Foxes 19-6.
After a 60 yard drive Terry Francis tore through
the Silverton line early in the second quarter to
score Chemawa’s first touchdown. Calvin Picard’s
try on the conversion failed by inches.
In the latter part of the second period Chet
Ashman passed from Chemawa’s own 45 yard line
to Calvin Picard, who dodged and twisted his way
to a touchdown.
The third period found Chemawa driving deep
into Silverton territory.
Then came Fred Miller on an end-around play
from which he ran 20 yards to score. Calvin Pic­
ard plunged through the line for the extra point.
The Silverton Foxes made their only touchdown
of the day on a pass.
Every team member had his heart and soul in
the game, for it was the last for some of them and
they knew it; especially the four seniors, Calvin
Picard, Terry Francis, George Miller and Fred Mil­
ler. With this last game Chemawa closed its season,
not forgetting the turkey dinner and dance to add
to a wonderful Thanksgiving and successful season.
Football Banquet 1945
Hawley hall was a very busy place the afternoon
of December 12. The senior girls were busy prepar­
ing for the football banquet that evening. It was a
new experience for many of them and a pleasent
one. Under the direction of Mrs. Cronk, they
planned and made ready for the cooking and serving
of the banquet.
Fruit cocktails were served, then the main course
which consised of swiss steak, gravy, mashed pota­
toes, buttered peas and carrots, waldorf salad, coffee,
rolls, jam, butter, pineapple upside down cake.
Coach Thompson, the master of ceremonies,
called on guests and some of th c players to say a
few words after dinner.
After serving, the senior girls sat down to sample
the meal themselves. The girls and Mrs. Cronk were
called in and congratulated on the dinner they had
prepared for the occasion. The alma mater was
sung and everyone left after a pleasent evening.
