Write to the Boys The teachers and other employees receive numer ous letters from the boys in the armed forces who have attended Chemawa. They always ask for the Chemawa American and want their old school mates to write to them. Thev like to hear about Chemawa as well as they do about their own homes for it is really another home for them. Reading the Chemawa American gives them a glimpse of the ffOld School,” so keep sending them your copy after you have read it. So come on, you students, and write to the boys and girls you know who are in the service.You can always get their addresses if you try hard enough.
