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.
