THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
Basketball
At the beginning of the season
about forty boys turned out for

pects. After two weeks of turnouts,

and twelve on the junior varsity
teams.

the present are, James Switzler,
Ralph Scott, George Umtuch, Allen

Thomas, Dayton Blackwater, Carl
Brown, Francis Dixie, Dempsey-
Horn, Sanford Azure, Reynolds
Roanhorse, and Robert Sam.
The first game was with Colton.
It was a non-league game. The
boys made a good showing by keep
ing the score close throughout the
game, and by being in the lead at
one time, but lost by a score of
60-52.
The next night, at the jamboree,
Chemawa played Detroit, and lost
another close game with the score
13-11.
The following Tuesday league
playing began. Chemawa was beat
en on the home floor by Scio. The
score was 54-46. Three days later
the team met defeat at Sublimity,
53-48.
Farm Safeguards Health
of Swine
There is a state regulation that
whenever garbage is fed to hogs,
it must be cooked for thirty min
utes at a temperature of 212 F.
The reason for this is that the proc
ess kills germs and so holds down
diseases in pigs, which results in
meat that is free from trichinosis.
Chemawa has set up a small build
ing just for that purpose. The gar
bage is cooked by running a steam
hose into the can containing it.
Rivalry Is Keen
For Unit Awards
At Winona Hall, unit awards
have been won by Geraldine Ham
lin,s Unit 1, Bevery Carlson,s Unit
V, and Lorraine Farmer’s Unit II.
Unit III is working for the award
this month. Charlotte Running
crane is leader of the unit.
Points may be won in several
ways. Every day one point is given
for each room with excellent rat
ing; each girl is allowed one point
daily for satisfactory detail; volun
teer details, such as carrying linens
to the laundry, delivering shop
orders, taking over McBride Hall
Mail, and changing ironing board
covers, earn one point each. When
competition is keen, girls volunteer
for such work as mopping, waxing,
and buffing halls, and cleaning
linen closets, laundry, showers, and
rest rooms.
The award, given each month, is
a trip to Salem with movie tickets
purchased from Winona Hall
funds, for the girls in the winning
unit.

the teaching staff, Mr. Wight pre

Return of Books
Important
Each student is responsible for
the book he has checked out of the
library. Everyone should get books
in on time. If you forget when
it is due, the best thing is to check
to find out Let’s all try bringing
books back on time so that it will
not be necessary for Miss Morse to
send out notices about them.
