THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
of today is that used in connection with
printing, which is used in all nations
and in all climes. The increased pro
duction and lower cost of paper for
which the wood pulp is used have spread
knowledge and aided in the development
of the wTorld as has no other single
product of commerce. Without an abun
dant supply of paper, even the potent
printing press would be like a great gun

INTER-CLASS MEET.
Last Saturday the annual inter-class
meet was held on our" athletic field and
from the shot that started the mile run
ners on their run until the last event
there was enough excitement for anyone.
Considering the time that the boys have
been in training for these events they
did well and by the time our first track
and field meet is held we should be able
to give a good account of ourselves.
The surprise of the day was Tom
Powers. Who would ever think that
Powers could run? By winning the 120
yard hurdles from Francis he proved
himself to be in a new class. Good for
Tom.
A feature of the meet was the success
of the Seventh Grade in winning over
the Seniors by one point. No doubt
this success was due to the fact that the
only girls present were five girls and
their teacher from the seventh grade,
who showed real class spirit by being
present and cheering their classmates on
to victory.
By winning the meet with 42 points
the Juniors claim the pennant offered
for the strongest team.
Amos Smoker secured the greatest
number of points, individually, thereby
winning the silver medal offered by
C E. Larsen.
The Score by grades: Junior? 42,
Seventh 33, Seniors 32, Fourth 16,
Sixth 3.
