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

The students of Chemawa are grateful to Dr. J. F.
Lane and Miss Adeline Lynch for checking all the
students here on trachoma.
