THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Academic High Lights Tenth Grade Hears About Radar Sonnar Ninth Grade Has Honor Roll Mr. Bramlet, who is a lieutenant commander in the naval reserves, recently went on a weekend cruise from Portland to Astoria and back. This kind of trip is taken twice a year by men in the naval reserves to give each of them the opportun ity to see the job done which he is learning to do. Marie Ban wrote as follows about Mr. Bramlet’s visit to their classroom and his talk after the cruise. “Mr. Johannaber asked Mr. Bramlet to tell our tenth grade about scientific aids used in sailing a ship, because that was what we were studying. Mr. Bramlet told us of the importance of radar and sonnar to the safety of a ship. 1 didn’t know that such instruments were used in peacetime.” “Now if I were a boy it would be my ambition to join the navy and learn all about ships. I have been thinking about it ever since I heard Mr. Bramlet’s talk. I wouldn’t mind learning the inter esting ship language. You should hear it; it’s quite different!” Qualifying for the ninth grade honor roll with no grade below B in English, mathematics, social studies, and vocational subjects, are Frances McGriff, Kenneth Fox, Marilyn Luke, Willard Skahan, Thamer Perry, Stanford Townsend, Esther Scott, Milton Tatooed, Mari lyn Charles, and Wilma James.

English IV Classes Study Literature Forms English IV classes taught by Mrs. Arthur Johannaber, are hav ing a unit on the forms of writing. After learning about biography, students found and read biographi cal material in magazines and en cyclopedias and gave short oral re ports on it. Now each student has selected a biography to read and report upon as outside reading. The second form studied was the essay. Students found that much of what they read is in essay form. Each student evaluated an essay assigned for reading. The next form to be studied is poetry. Tape recordings will be used in several ways for this. Campus Visitors Mr. O. P.

Mr. Paul Bramlet, superintendent, taught the class during the third quarter. Warm Springs boy scouts were hosts to twenty-five Chemawa boy scouts and explorer scouts for the weekend of March 12-14. The scouts were accompanied on the trip by Mr. Charles Holmes, ex plorer scoutmaster, and Mr. Merlin Crawford. On Friday night, Mr. Holmes showed the film, What’s New in Our Military? An explorer scout showed a film taken at the Los- Angeles jamboree. Saturday morning was spent playing volleyball, softball, etc. That afternoon all of the scouts went hiking and sightseeing to Warm Springs River. They cooked their supper. A tournament of eight five- minute basketball games was played by the boys on Saturday night. Chemawa won three games, tied two, and lost three The Chemawa scouts left Warm Springs at 10:00 a.m. Sunday. They went south toward Madras and Redmond, then cut across through Sisters, came over San- tiam pass, and reached Chemawa at 5:00 p.m. The boys who made the trip learned many things, enjoyed new sights, and met new boys. It really was worthwhile. Town Dating Is Scheduled At a meeting of department heads, iF was decided that a Sun day town dating schedule might be set up for March 28, April 25, and May 9. When the plan was pre sented to student councilors, they thought it was a good idea; that in this way they would learn about standards of boy-girl relations. Groups of students met with Mrs. Brannon or advisers to talk over standards for town and movie dat ing and a very satisfactory under standing was reached. Boys who have asked a girl to attend a movie on Sunday will de posit $3.50 with the boys’ adviser by Friday night. They will each purchase two bus tickets. Dress clothing will be worn. Smile The good weather the first week in March made everyone want to be outside. A lot of cameras were seen.
