PAUL T. JACKSON ROBERT THOMAS MRS. VIRGINIA WEIGEL Superintendent Printer Journalism Instructor which to live. They are giving up their careers and families and perhaps their lives to let each one of us have our chance of accomplishment in this world. Orchids to Herbert Bennett who has shown so much dependability and initiative in his school work. His help to his fellow members in "standing by” in the Junior assembly program is creditable. Orchids to our printer, Robert Thomas, Class of ’33, who leaves our school to take a defense job. Robert leaves an enviable record at our school, both as a student and as an employee. Serving Their Country Editorial Boys and girls of Cheinawa may want to go out this coming summer or other times to find a job in defense factories. There are many other kinds of jobs for both boys and girls, besides the defense jobs, where qualifications are required. Why is it that Indians are conspicuous among other races by not being qualified for certain jobs? It has been experienced many places and many times that the Indians cannot hold a job and sometimes are not qualified for a permanent job, unless appli cation is made through the Indian service and a good recommendation is received. Boys and girls sometimes get work and quit over night without making any special notification to the employer. One only “kills it” for himself or herself. Remember, when the next job is sought that a re commendation is required from the last place where you were employ ed. Therefore, when withdrawing from work, it is best to make special arrangments with the employer. —Cecelia Sohappy By applying yourself you may accomplish just a little at first, but as you go along you are repaid more and more for your efforts. You do yourself a lot of good by getting right in and making a very hard subject an easy one and one you won’t forget. If you once learn something, you won’t forget it. / If it’s been so long since you’ve had it, just a little review will refresh your mind. You may learn a subject in your later high school days things at the time you thought were worthless, but in later years it camein very handy in securing you a better job. —Tony Skahan Orckids to ]/ou! . . .
