This is the second time this unit has won this year. The prize was a trip to Salem to a show. In our story last issue telling of Mr. J. S. Kunkel's gift to the small children of the school our report was only half right. Mr. Kunkel increased the kids' Christ mas fun by $10 and not $5 as we reported. The Brewer hall girls are organized in groups ac cording to grades. These groups are working to keep the hall neat and to have good conduct. The group leader, June Richards, helps the house councilor. THE VALUE OF AN EDUCATION Education is the back-bone of living. Without it we are like fish in a desert, camels in the sea. In other words, we are lost. What becomes of one when he is uneducated? Is it possible to lead a normal life? Seemingly the average individual cannot lead either a normal or happy life when they lack abundant education. About ninety percent of our prison inmates are men who didn't have any schooling. They took to ways of crime when no decent job, due to their lack of educa tion, could be found. We will all make better American citizens if we have a high school and college education, as school teach es us the proper way of American living. Yes, as to the value of an education there is no end. Get yours now while the opportunity is here.—Dawn Andrews. JUNIORS HAVE PARTY The Juniors had a pre-Christmas party December 24 in their classroom. The game, "Cootie," furnished entertainment for the group. Delores Racehorse won first prize. A delicious lunch was served. CAN YOU TOP THIS? The eighth graders hold the top honors in the con tributions to the tuberculosis fund drive. Their total donation was $9.69. I like to read books all the time in school. We learn to read out of books. Our teacher helps us to read books. I like the new children that come in. I like the matrons, too. We like our pig, "Blossom Rose." I like the teacher too. I like to look at pictures. I am in the third grade.—Trena Super. «O «O« " »O' «O* «O' 1 «"O'* — -O' 1 "O' Varsity Basketball Scores Chemawa Chemawa Chemawa Chemawa Chemawa Chemawa Chemawa Chemawa Chemawa Chemawa Chemawa Chemawa 21, 38, 20, 30, 45, 45, 43, 31, 32, 25, 43, 32, Dayton 26.
