C rade S chool : On January 22, Miss Grissom took charge of the curriculm meeting of the teachers. It was a meeting that amused and held the interest of all. This was achieved by having some of her students put on a demonstration of how their classes are conducted. The childern showed a great deal of ability in producing a radio program, singing songs, reading, and reciting nursery rhymes. Miss Hazel Chambers' sixth grade class was in spired by the snow to make w inter scenes. The snow men, trees, and other parts of the pictures were cut from paper of various colors. The results are very artistic and imaginative. Under the guidance of their teacher, Miss Winona Sunrise, the third and fourth grades are studying our culture groups of the Indians in the United States—the coast, southwest, plains, anti eastern woodland areas. They are studying how the Indians got their food anti clothing anti how they made shelter They are learning to distinguish between the various groups, Arts and Crafts. The students are making booklets as well as maps illustrating the stories of each culture area. Students of Miss Pauline Rector’s fourth grade are learning about geography and government through a unit on rationing. They have asked em ployees to save magazines and newspapers so that they may cut out pictures representing coffee, sugar, rubber, and other rationing. They learn why these articles are being rationed and from where they come. Sioux Outwits Japs in Jungle Indian cunning once again proved more than a match for the Jap’s jungle experience on the Sanan anda front yesterday when 17 Japs were killed and a ,50-caliber, heavy machine gun, was captured by a detachment headed by a Sioux sergeant named Red Doer. Taking the azimuth line through the jungle to where the Jap nest was known to be, Red Door led the craw ling attack. Their final assault was made over 75 yards of open country.— Reprint from Los Angeles Examiner Jan. 10,1943 The students of Chemawa are grateful to Dr. J. F. Lane and Miss Adeline Lynch for checking all the students here on trachoma.
