CRUISE Superintendent Printer and Manager Journalism Instructor REPORTERS—Ben Bearchum, Harold Joseph, Floyd Tyler, Alex Stensger, Stanley Williams, Sybil Wood, Carolyn Davis, Katherine Jones, June Ford, Anna Miles, Margie Reynolds, June Simmons editorial Papers and food give the campus a very dirty ap pearance. These things could be very easily kept un til one reaches a trash can, but it seems that they are thrown everywhere. Things thrown around like that often cause germs to spread, and then sometimes sickness follows. Candy wrappers are most frequently found on the campus. After eating candy it is very easy to put the wrappers in your pocket and keep them until you reach a trash can. Food looks even worse than paper on the campus. If you want to eat, eat in the dining hall. Don’t car ry out food and throw it around the campus. Wind blows paper very easily around the campus and it is very hard to pick up. Food is even harder than paper to pick up. If each individual had to pick up the things he throws around, he wouldn’t be throwing things on the campus. Chemawa has many visitors on the campus and they get a very bad impression of us if they see a dirty campus. Each individual should take it upon himself to keep the campus looking clean.— A lex S tensgar School spirit is not only how loud you yell at basketball games, but your attitude toward the school in general. Perhaps you regard school as "just one of those things,” and live only for graduation day. If so, you are going to miss some real opportunities. Your school is a miniature world in which you have a chance to find out how you will fit into the scheme of things later on. Your ability to speak at meetings, and a knowledge of parlimentary law gained in or ganization work will be of much value to you throughout life. From the Home Rooms The Crow-Cheyenne tribes have been progressing very well towards the pageant. Colvilles: Jack Whitelaw and William Seymour are modeling an Indian camp.

The pageants that the home rooms have been pre paring will be held on the nights of May 19 and 20. The first night the students that represent the Coast Indians will perform. The second night the Plains Indians will portray the Indian life of the Plains of long ago. The exhibits that all of the home rooms are working on and those exhibits that they are able to get from their homes will be on display for the public during these two days. Grade School News “Easter time is the time for eggs,” quote the young sters, as they hurriedly ran all over the campus Sun day afternoon in search of Easter eggs. The affair was under the supervision of Miss Hall, Miss Sunrise, Miss Chambers, and Mrs. Salter, the class teachers. First and second place prizes were given out and as a reward the “Kids” received either a chocolate rabbit, or a basket of eggs or candy bars. NOTICE This will be the last AMERICAN.
