AMERICAN Vol. 52 Chemawa, Oregon • Jan., 1952 No. 3 INDIAN CLUB POPULAR The Indian Club has a share in the community service which Che mawa contributes. Numerous re quests are made by organizations, for programs which serve to ac quaint their members with the activ ities of the school, as well as furnish them with unique entertainment. Mrs. Johannaber, sponsor of the club, reports that the Indian dances given by the group are always enthusias tically received. Members of the audiences are eager to meet the students. The beautiful Indian cos tumes serve as conversation pieces, and it is, perhaps, during these visits that both students and members of the community gain most. Organizations before which mem bers of the Indian Club will present programs in February and March are Rotary and Lions Clubs in Sa lem and the Optimist Club in Port land; Popcorn School P. T. A.; Delta Kappa Gamma Teachers' Honorary Sorority in Salem; and Chemawa's Birthday Party. The band occupies new bleachers constructed lor them by Mr. V. J. Matt's carpentry classes. Special design allows room for larger band instruments and other musical paraphernalia. BASKETBALL Having improved considerably since the beginning of the season the casaba boys at Chemawa are now pointing toward the county tournament to be held Feb. 28, 29 and Mar. 1st.

HOSPITAL NEWS The hospital staff has been kept busy this year caring for the many sick children. There has been less time for teaching and classroom work. The daily census averages 11.7. Mrs. Brannon and Mrs. Seawright visited the children hospitalized at Tacoma Sanitorium. It was Mrs. Brannon's first visit to the new hos pital. She was pleased to see how well our Indian patients are cared for. Several older boys have been re ferred to Tacoma for surgery. All have convalesced favorably. Quite a number of our students have received money from home to care for dental needs and refrac tions. It is not easy to obtain dental appointments but we are fortunate in having Dr. L. Watson and Dr. Paul Berger give us all the time they can. The hospital attendants are appre ciative of the assistance given them by the older girls. FINGER PAINTING Finger painting is easy lor me. I painteed a pretty picture and paint ed my name on it. Robert painted a flower on his picture. Some chil dren painted Indians. Some just made designs. We spread paint on our papers and used our fingers.— Alphues Iones. We had a fine Christmas this year at Chemawa. We had Christmas parties at the dormitories. We had lots of visitors and Santa Claus came to see us. After the visitors had gone we got our packages. Christmas was nice.—Harriett Wash- ines.
