CH EM AWA Vol. 49 a ^A merican Chemawa, Oregon • February, 1949 Enjoy Dimes Ball Chemawa joined in the "March of Dimes" to contribute its share in helping the helpless victims of polio. A March of Dimes dance was spon sored by the school to promote this worthy cause which most of the student body and many employees attended. The decorations, made by the sixth grade and Art club, were unique and fitted the occasion as there were large paper piggy banks in many colors for wall decorations, artificial dimes hung from the ceiling, and a large wooden piggy bank was on the stage to receive the collections. Mr. Matt and his orchestra fur nished the music for the dancing During intermission Laura Mae Con way and Carol Ann Hudson enter tained the audience with tap danc ing numbers and Beverly Hugus, Isobelle George and Rosalie George sang. Refreshments were sold by mem bers of the senior class. Mrs. Fris- bey, of the employees club, donated doughnuts which the seniors sold also. The refreshment sales amount ed to $24.93; contributions $60.65; total $85.58. We who donated our nickels and dimes know it was for a very worthy cause. We know that our dimes marching will join other dimes which eventually will mean children walking DO YOU KNOW? That Chemawa will be 69 years old February 25? That Oregon was 90 years old on February 14?. That there are 60 tribes of Indians represented in the Chemawa school? That the students come from 10 different states, including Alaska? That the library boasts of still using the same pencil that they started with in September? It is anchored. No. 4 SUPT. KELLEY ON RADIO NEWS NOTES Mr. R. M.

TURNER ASSEMBLY Seniors of the Turner high school presented an all school assembly to the students of Chemawa on Febru ary 3, 1949. This was an exchange assembly between the senior classes of both schools. The Turner assembly consisted ot a style show and music. The girls modeled teen-age apparel for differ ent occasions and seasons of the year. Included in the musical show was an accordian .saxophone, drums and piano. The girls in the style show presented a musical number. The theme of the style show was woven around a short comedy with a female vocalist applying for a job at a local radio station. However, she did not get the job until she had improved not only her voice but her manners, and had gotten rid of her wad of chewing gum. Thanks, Turner. Come again.

DRAWINGS HELD FOR TOURNEY Principals and coaches of "B" League held their meeting in Kola Teepee on the 8th of February to draw places for the tournament which started February 10, in the Willamette university gym in Salem. FOURTH GRADE LAMBS At school the fourth grade has sheep. One sheep had two little lambs not long ago. The lambs are cute little fellows. Mrs. Mason some times sends someone out to play with them. They like to play with us. They drink milk from their mother. The wool on the little lambs' backs is not like the wool on the big sheep's back. I think sheep and lambs are good animals for pets. The little lambs have cute little faces and little short legs. They can hardly run.—Franklin LaPena, 4th Grade.
