5 - ETIviee tight" seniors On February 25, 1923, in Yakima, W ashing ton, two tiny mites of joy filled the air with loud cries announcing that they had arrived twins. One of these twins cried louder than the other and naturally she grew up to be Margaret F. Skahan. After spending seven years in Toppenish, W ash ington, learning her “ readin,’ ‘ritin’, ‘n ’ ‘rith- metic,” Margaret started her eighth grade in a small country school on the coast. It was during this same year that she journeyed to Chemawa, where she has been each of the following school years. She is majoring in commercial and will finish high school in the spring. Margaret’s am bition is to be a stenogragher or business woman. “ Moogie,” as her many freinds call her, has a smile for everyone, and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Her hobbies are collecting pic tures, postcards and writing poetry. “ Moogie” likes to swim, dance and cook, and can usually be found reading a mystery book. We all join in wishing that “ Moogie’s” highest ambitions and dreams may be fulfilled in the years to come. Mr. Alvin “ Hook” Bobb was born in the quaint little town of DaConner, Washington, on a frosty December morning in 1922. During his first eight years in school he went to Tulalip Indian School. He entered Chemawa as a freshman four years ago to specialize in Auto Mechanics. His greatest ambition is to be come a good mechanic. For entertainment he likes to read and to see the movies which are his hobbies. His favorite books are written by Zane Grey. This is his second year in the Dettermen’s Club He earned his letters in baseball, which is his fa vorite sport. During the summer he plays for his home team, that won their league championship in 1939. To Alvin, we wish success as an Auto Mechanic and as a baseball player. In Dodge Grass, Montana, Frank Backbone was born. Entering the Dodge Grass public school, he finished nine grades before coming to Che mawa, where he is now studying to become a car penter, but his greatest ambition is to become a professional basketball player. ---- Playing the guitar is his hobby. He also erijoys the movies and reading western books by Z a n e Gray. He is a member of the Hi-Y and Detterman’s Club. He likes basketball best of all s p o r t s , although he does play baseball and was a mem ber of our track team. At Dodge Grass, while a freshman the team he was on took District and Southern Division Championships,and s e c o n d place in the state tournament.
