HOMECOMING A BIG SUCCESS
F all S p o rts F e a s t
What is hoped w ill become an an­
nual event was the F a ll Sports Ban­
quet, which was held a t
Crampton
Hall Dining Hall on November 30. The
purpose of the banquet was to pass
out the awards and give sp ecia l re­
cognition to those students that had
turned in excetional
performances
in some p articu la r event.
One of the n icest things about a
trophy presented a t th is banquet is
the small individual pieces that are
given to the student to keep
while
th e ir name is engraved on the large
ones before they are placed in
the
trophy case.
G irls were also in attendance at
th is banquet and in addition to the
usual emblems fo r cheer leading and
pep club, plaques were presented to
the g ir ls that had excelled in the
physical fitn e s s t e s ts .
Chemawa's g ir ls are now entering
into in tersh o la stic
competition in
v o lle y b a ll and f ie ld hockey.The only
other f ie ld hockey team that
they
have been able to play so fa r
has
been the freshamn g ir ls a t

Approximately 150 students r e c e i­
ved th e ir awards a t th is banquet and
i t is hoped that i t can
become an
annual event.
The meal, a th ick ju ic y steak and
a l l the trimmings, was prepared by
the vocational cooking
class with
Mr. Douglas supervising.

P ost O ffic e Busy
How busy is the post o ffice ? Ac­
cording to Mrs. DeBoer,
the post­
m istress, i t is busier than
people
think i t would be. Students and fa c ­
u lty purchase about a thousand pos­
tage stamps per week. Many fa c u lty
as w ell as students mail th e ir pack­
ages here. Because of the fa c t that
i t is open on Saturday mornings, i t
sometimes gets packages fo r mailing
from downtown b u sin e ss men.
The biggest sin gle event in each
homecoming is the Letterman’ s
Clut
selectio n of a king and queen. This
year Glenn Cook and Fannie T r itt won
the honor of representing the school
in th is capacity. Both of them are
juniors.

That afternoon The Braves defeat­

only win of the season even though
they had one of the hardest playing
teams in a long time.
An added feature th is year was a
