APRIL 30. 1943 Superintendent Transferred Supt. Paul T. Jackson of Chemawa Indian School is leaving this month for the Seattle Port of Embark ation where he has been transferred to a War De partment post. Mr. Jackson will be on military fur lough from the Indian service which means that he will not be in the army but will work for the Army Department. His job is organizing and training several thou sand employees in refresher courses, instructing them in the nature of their jobs and methods of job relat ionship with others. He will organize, set, and direct the training program for the employees at the Port, located at 1519 South Alaskan Way, Seattle. Supt. Paul T. Jacksons' Message At the request of the War Department I am be ing transferred to Seattle Port of Embarkation. I will be expected to organize and to direct an in-service educational training program for the civilian em ployees at Port. While I will not be in the Army, I will be working under the direction of the Army as training supervisor. All of the civilian employees at the Port are Civil Service. I have enjoyed very much my seven years and four months work at Chemawa. It is with genuine regret that I leave this school where students and employees have been so very fine. I can understand now how Seniors feel at graduation time for, like them, I hate to leave friends behind. This is a very fine school, one of which anyone can be very proud. I am now one in the class of hundreds who have been here as students and em ployees and who is a loyal supporter of this school. I wish to thank everyone for the many courtesies and acts of friendship shown to Mrs. Jackson and to me . We shall always retain the most pleasant memories of students, employees, and all campus people. My feeling is expressed in the school song, "Chemawa, I love thee forever.” Glee Club Presents Assembly Program The Glee Club gave a program on Tuesday, April 13, at the auditorium.
