It is one of the best things. We win friendship and it stays with us. | |g > • The people from all parts of ^America should be friends, I be lieve in it. At. Chemawa we have a chance to make friends with the Navajo people from the Southwest, as well, as people from the North west. , Shall we hail 1954 as a friend ship year? Let’s a^ make friends, and it will help us on the road' to happiness. \ Peter Reed Our Opportunity The Government is helping us to go to ■ school off the "reservation. We do not have? to pay to go to a Government school. We do not have to buy our supplies such as writing paper, pencils, and other things. £ While we are in school we should learn all we can. We should learh things in the white man’s way. We should speak' English, We should learn so we don’t make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, but we want to'improve. Don’t waste your time and sup plies because you are just wasting the Government’s money. ; ■ A ' Etta Yazzie A t the D orm itories Councilors Appointed Never a Dull Moment Mr. E. B. Hudson, boys’ ad viser, appointed two house coun cilors for McNary Hall. They are James Switzler, leader for Unit I, and Reynolds Roanhorse, assistant house manager. The house council had a meeting with Mr. Hudson^ and Mrs. Lena Cronk, home eco- nomics department head, at which they discussed the seating problem of McNary and Brewer Hall boys, in the din mg hall. There is always something good for each boy to do in McNary Hall. Of the games,—card games, ping pong, checkers, Chinese checkers, etc,, card games are the favorites, judging' by the need for replace ment. Some of the boys take it easy in their rooms, listening to their ra dios, or to records someone has bought, -< Reading, or writing letters are pas times. Boys who are free from washing or ironing their clothes, watch television. The boys participate in intra murals on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Happy Birthday to You Many “Happy Birthday’s” are sung and many spankings given when someone in Winona Hall has a birthday. On January 12, Evelyn Lloyd was the victim. Some of the girls -got together and gave her a little surprise party; They played games and danced. A beautiful birthday cake was presented, and served with punch, for refresh ments. At the Half At the half in a basketball game, the team and the coach get to gether. They talk over their mis takes of the first half and plan how to improve their play in the second half. Let us more orless pretend that in going to- school we are playing an important game. We are. now at the half. It is :a good idea to think about how we might improve in the last half, and listen to the advice of our coaches, There are many things that need improvement at Chemawa. All stu dents know what they are,—dining hall conduct, socialing. conduct, care ' .of property, attention to school work, etc., If we heed advice and try our best to succeed in im proving, this may prove to be a winning year. Marie Barr WELCOME Winona Hall girls welcome Mrs. Mary Bartolme, who replaces Mrs. Effie Lovelace as matron at the dormitory. : interior—C hem aw a School, Chem awa, Oregon Boy Scouts Enjoy Portland Trip The Mitchell Hall boys who are scouts, went on a trip to Portland. We went to the zoo in Portland. We saw many animals. There were lions, monkeys, bears, and many kinds of birds. It was fun to watch the polar bears> and feed peanuts to the monkey s. . We cooked our lunch and sup per ourselves. We cooked our lunch in the park where the zoo is, When it was supper time we found another park where we cooked our steak. We like to cook and eat in the open. We went to a building called The House of Oregon. We saw many old things. There was a big picture of Custer’s Last Stand. We went up on Rocky Butté above Hill Military Academy. We could see a long distance from there. We are glad to be scouts. We learn to do useful things and we have good times together. Thank Yo>u, Boys Boys who helped in decorating the boys’ dormitories, trimming the trees, and wrapping gifts for all the boys at Chemawa, were Charles Farmer and Randolph Wilson of McNary Hall, and Herbert Pe,vo, Everett Capps, and Frank White Eagle of Brewer Hall.
