This senior hails from the Fort Hall reservation,
which is located in the State of Idaho. He is
well known as a boxer in the Pacific Northwest.
He was born just a week before Christmas, on
December 18, 1922. This is his final year in high
school where he is taking up both printing and
commercial. He is the treasurer of the Senior
class, and is one of the boy’s officers in McNary
hall. This “ leather pusher” has many a fight to
his credit, and is the bantamweight champion in
the State of Oregon. He was chosen to participate
in the National A. A.U. boxing tournament which
was held in Boston, Massachusetts. He was the
second boxer from Chemawa to compete in this
tournament. This handsome gentleman is none
other than Dan Snipe, who is lending a hand in
training the boxers this year.
On the bright wintry day of February 22,1923,
there came the loudest war-cry e v e r heard at the
Crow Agency, Montana. This loud cry came
from a little baby girl who has grown up to be
one of our best senior girls, Pearl Deernose. She
spent her first nine years of school at Hardin,
Montana, and then, hearing of Chemawa, she
packed her little bag and scooted down here as
fast as her legs could carry her. Pearl is taking
the commercial course and hopes to be a secretary
above all else some day. For her hobbies, she
like collecting birthday cards and Christmas cards
as souvenirs, and she delights in collecting snap­
shots of her many friends. She may be found
reading mystery books at most any time. Pearl
enjo y s hiking, swimming, dancing, basketball
and baseball as sports. Her greatest “ like” is
lot of eats, with good coffee. Pearl is the treasurer
of the Girls House Council, and also the treasurer
of the Y W C A . She is a good student in her
classes, or anywhere. To Pearl, we give our sincere
wishes for a life of happiness and good luck.
In the little village of Browning, Montana, on
the morning of May 7, 1922, the dawn was just
a wee bit brighter as it shone upon one of our
senior girls.
She spent the first seven years of her life at­
tending Browning Grade school, and the next
year at Bismark, North Dakota; then her urge
for traveling brought her to Chemawa, where
she is finishing her fourth and last year.
Her hobbies are dancing, ice skating, and col­
lecting match folders. She spends a great deal
of time reading her favorite books—all about the
great romances.
Her ambitions are to be a nurse, and to “ see
the world.” She has a very healthy appetite,
and her favorite dish is dried fish. Her dislikes
are few—just boys, in general, and getting up
early in the morning. Finishing her studies in
Home Economics, she will graduate this year.
So, to Lucille Mae Nessbaum, we wish the very
best of luck.
