Davenport, Washington, was the scene of his
first appearance on February 22,1921. This little
baby boy turned out to be Fred Samuels, one of
our jolly, well-liked senior boy, who spent his
first eight years of school at Davenport. Then,
when 1937 rolled around, a friend told him what
a wonderful place Chemawa was; Fred, being
somewhat of a “genius,” jumped in his home­
made jolopy and speedily drove at 5 miles per
hour to Chemawa, to enter as a freshmen. He
has been here since. After starting as an appren­
tice in the print shop, he liked his work and stayed
on.
His ambition is to be a printer, and because we
know that Fred is a ceaseless worker, we are cer­
tain that he will successfully fulfill his ambition.
He is taking a Commercial course along with his
printing, and hopes to be a good bookkeeper.
Fred likes, as a pastime, to read, listen to the
radio, and receive letters. He is active in class
sportsand especially cares for football, basketball,
swimming, hiking, and likes dancing quite well.
As a member of the Hi-Y Club, he is active and
faithful. He has joined the Hiking Club because
he enjoys the outdoors so well.
So to Fred, a jolly, hard working senior boy. we
extend our hearty wishes for a life of good fortune
and happiness.
Our senior friend, Paul LaRouque, was born
in Glasgow, Montana, just before spring on March
14, 1921. As he grew up he went to school.
Hearing of Chemawa he came immediately. In
the last three years, “Bud” has taken up carpen­
try. But this year he is taking bookkeeping,
and his greatest ambition is to make it his fu­
tureoccupation. This will be his second year par­
ticipating in track for Chemawa. “Bud” has
won six medals in track. He ran the 220 and 100
yd. dash, and the relays. His favorite sport is
track but also wrestles. In the last two years he
has grappled his way through two district meets
and to two state meets. Although he earned let­
ters in sports he has never been able to join
the Lettermen’s Club because he wasn’t in sch­
ool when the lettermen joined the club. Other
clubs in which he is a memberare: TheC.Y.O.,
and the Ice Skating club. For entertainment he
likes dancing, and reading books by Zane Grey.
To “Bud” LaRouque, who proudly states that
he helped complete the Fort Peck Dam, we wish
an abundance of happiness and success.
Eighteen years ago, on the sunny day of April
22, 1923, near the growing town of Wedderburn,
Oregon, there came to brighten the lives of her
family a wee girl who grew up to be the tallest
of the two Frye girls, “Lulu Belle.” Being ex­
ceptionally bright, Lulu finished the first eight
grades in a tiny school “somewhere by the river.”
Then, because she’s like all small, country girls,
the big place of Chemawa appealed to her heart
and ambitions, and she skipped up here to enter
as a “Freshie.” Since that year, she has worked
industriously at her studies, and has attained
good grades as her reward. Lulu is finishing
school this year with a commercial course. Her
highest ambition, is to be “just a plain house
wife.” so she can keep house to suit herself.
Little “Lulu Belle” hasn’t any special hobby,
but she does like “socialling” with Carson, eat­
ing Government beans, pancakes, and coffee, and
she’s very affectionate towards the name "Tom­
my.” For sports, she prefers swimming, hiking,
and horse-back riding any day. To “Lulu Belle”
then, we wish many happy years of success in
fulfilling her ambitions.
On the cold, snowy, wintery day of January
7, 1924, in the little town of Dogmar, Montana,
one of our little senior gals gave her first real
warhoop to the world. This little gal was none
other than Grace “Benny” Berger. Afterattend­
ing the grade school in Dogmar for eight years,
she decided to come to Chemawa, after hearing
it was a grand place. “Benny” discovered it was
a wonderful place, so she stayed and has been
here ever since. She will finish her fourth and
last year here, and then go out into the great
world, seeking the position of a private secretary,
for Grace is taking a commercial course.
“Benny” has many pastimes but her favorites
are reading and sleeping. She enjoys a good game
of basketball or baseball, but boxing is her favor­
ite sport to watch, for “he” is a boxer.
One of Gracie’s greatest memories will be the
time she put blankets over her windows, and the
matron scolded her for it. She does not have a
great deal of liking for beans, or getting up early
in the morning, but she has an extra love for
coffee. Her favorite song is “Show Me the Way
to Go Home.” So, to Grace, as she finishes high
school, we wish the very best of luck, and hope
she finds her way home.
