The talk of releasing Indians to full citizenship, abolishing all federal controls on individual Indians, dismissing many of the government personnel, and closing in stitutions made it seem that Chemawa was doomed to close. When fall came and schools were preparing to reopen, many of us former students wondered where we would be going. Finallv in the early part of September notices were received by many of the anxious students that Chemawa was to reopen on September 22. Now w e are going through another year of learn ing. Now that we possess such a great opportunitv let us all put in our best efforts to get all the education we can in order that we may Kelp develop an un proved Indian race. For some day we will face the task of being on our own. The world is changing — let us change with it. We nave tlu opportunity. Let us make the best of it. Climb or drop. - A loys ius S lickpoo .
