ACTIVITIES
This year we have many activi
ties here at Chemawa. We can play
outside for awhile after supper. We
have shows and dances. There are
sports like football and intramural
sports. I really like football. It is
my favorite sport. Sometimes we
win and sometimes we lose in foot
ball.

WHY I CAME BACK
TO CHEMAWA
I came back to Chemawa to get
an education. Maybe some of you
do not know what it takes to get
an education. Education means
more schooling and learning. We
are all here to learn. We can not
do our best if we do not get along
with one another. We are not here
to fight, show off or hate one an
other.
We need to get along with one
another in classes, dormitories and
everywhere on the campus. We
should always try to help one an
other so that we have a good
school.
We are not different from one an
other. We are all the same. Every
one is the same. Let’s get together
on this. Let’s think of one another
so that we can have a better school,
good school spirit and get a better
education.

SAFETY
Safety is a very special topic
It can save our lives and the lives
of others. We should practice safe
ty rules at all times. The girls have
been practicing safety rules. We
can clear our dormitory in one
minute.
If a person is about to cross the
track and the red lights come on
and the bells start to ring he should
stop and wait. The railroad com
pany has put those signals there for
our safety so we will not cross
when a train is coming. One should
also look for cars before he crosses
the road. Look both ways before
you Cross.
Sometimes boys and girls get
careless and run across the rail
road tracks or the, road without
looking or thinking about trains or
cars. That is what will cause acci
dents and just because they forgot
to practice their safety rules. Re
member to practice your safety
rules for your own sake and for
the sake of others. We have not had
an accident yet and we don’t want
one.

BE KIND
Every boy and girl should be
kind to each other all the time. If
we go around cross and not liking
people then no one will like us. I
think that it pays to be kind to
everyone and to each other.

JUNIOR HIGH STANDARDS
I would like to toll you some of
our rules we have in Junior High.
We students are old enough to be
have ourselves like grown-ups. We
walk in the hall quietly and do not
make noises in the classroom.
A ll of the students have a bice
appearance. We keep good hair cuts
and good grooming and act like
ladies and gentlemen. We walk
quietly when we change classes and
keep our voices down.
The teachers give us assignments,
for home work in the evening. They
expect us to do our work without
somebody telling us to .study our
lessons. We like our school sub
jects and we are doing our very
best in school.

JUST THINKING
I was just thinking why all our
students should like Chemawa. It
is because so many things are free
for us. I am thinking of the hospi
tal, food, a place to sleep and a
place to enjoy ourselves. Then we
have our class rooms with many
things in them and our books so
that we may learn. We have many
things in our dormitories that we
can enjoy. We have our Chemawa
erhployees. They all try to help us.
A ll these things make Chemawa a
good school for us.

SAFETY
^Everyone knows what the word
“ Safety” pieans. If you don’t know
what it means I will tell you. It
means that we are all supposed to
try and not have accidents. We can
“ Stop,” “Look” and “Listen” before
we cross the road or tracks. In this
way we will keep ourself safe.
Everyone should think of the word
“Safety” every day and try to keep
safe every day.

CLOTHES FOR THE JOB
Some girls and boys work on
Saturday jobs. They work all day
to earn some money. When a boy
or girl goes to work on a job he or
she should dress for the job. Prac
tical clothes are the best kind to
wear. Clothes made of cotton are
best. They can be easily washed.
Wool or silk clothes spot easily but
cannot be easily cleaned.
