VIRGINIA WEIGEL Superintendent Printer Journalism Instructor editorial The only way the New Year was celebrated at Chemawa was by a dance on New Years Eve,which students and faculty members at tended. Although in the previous years a holiday was set aside for the entire nation, at present, as everybody can plainly see, there is no time to be taking a day off when others, especially those at the front, are at work every day and night. It is better to take whatever comes along, and do it to the best of our ability, and finish what work there is. Therefor, students cheerfully attended their regular classes on New Years’ day, as well as on any other day, although they were happy about the dance. 1943 is a New Year and another year to the entire nation. Here at Chemawa, the Hap py Home, it is for all to keep up school mor ale. To those Chemawa students in the armed forces; may they all come home "when the lights go on again all over the world. —Cecelia Sohappy Since we are now in war, there has been a great demand for well-educated people to do certain specialized jobs. In order that these positions be filled, the students that are in school today are asked to get all they can out of school. This is a big subject to undertake, but we the students should, while we have the chance, develop our knowledge to work ing to perfection. When we go to classes, we should be prepared to get right down to busi ness and try to do the work to the best of our ability. If we finish before the others, don’t try to see how much noise we can make, but give the others a chance to do their share of the work. It has been repeated by former students who are now employed at different jobs, "If I only had studied this or that subject harder, I would have a better job, better pay.” So in order that we may not be saying the same, STUDY HARDER, get down to busi ness right away, try to reach the highest goal possible.—Julia Berys ’’Orchids to You" The staff and some readers feel that the girls who are studying quantity cooking, helping so faithfully at the dining hall and club with the preparation of meals, deserve our appreciation.
