Chemawa celebrated Homecoming
on October 20 with a 20—14 win
over LaSalle High of Milwaukie.
Activities began Thursday with a
cleanup. Students spent two hours
policing the campus of all litter
and trash. After the brooms and
rakes were through, Chemawa was
cleaner than it had been for years.
Seniors Gary Abrahamson and
Lorena Thompson were named as
Homecoming King and Queen to rule
over the weekend. The junior royalty
were Donnie Abrahamson and Linda
Jane.
Sammy Beetus and Becki
Noyes were the sophomore prince and
princess.
The freshmen elected
Billy Tonasket and Debbie Jane.
McBride Hall won the competition
for the best decorated dorm, and the
Outdoor Club took honors for the best
Homecoming float.
The Chemawa Invitational cross
country meet held the next morning
drew entrants from the top AA and A
schools in the state. The meet con
tinued to live up to its reputation
as one of the best in the state, even
though the Braves finished down in
the middle of the standings this time.
Chemawa is one of the few schools
where a Homecoming really is a
Homecoming.
Graduates from as
long ago as half a century turned up
to see what has happened to the old
campus and to root the Braves on
to victory.
