THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN

The Student Council has been
very busy this year doing what
they can to help the students get a
good start this school year. We
have sponsored an assembly and a
Welcome Dance and helped to or
ganize the Safety Council. All of
the officers elected last year gradu
ated so the representatives carried
on all the business by themselves.
Julia Redhouse, Grace One, Stella
Becenti and Lee LaPahie were
chosen to act as officers until the
new officers were elected. The rep
resentatives are Henry Barber, Her
man Lee, Jane Griest, Lillie John
son, Irene Mitchell, Jerry Bennett,
Kee Babbitt, Gloria Harrison, Sinka
Littlefish, Stanley Custer, Earl
Cleveland, Harry Begay, Richard
Charley, James Benally, Lorraine
Castiano, Stella Becenti, Grace One,
and Lee LaPahie.
I was happy that I was chosen for
acting-treasurer and I have tried
my very best to be a good treasurer
for the' Student Council.

SPORTS
The Explorer Scouts meet every
two weeks. We have many things
to do this winter. Last week we
learned how to whip the end of a
rope. Some weekend we may go to
the YMCA in town for a swimming
lesson. One of the things that we
talked about was safety. Sometimes
we may be able to help children
across the streets so passing cars
won’t bump them.

At our first meeting of the scouts
we got a card. It is called a Tender
foot. I am learning all about the
Tenderfoot so that I can be a first
class Scout and earn a badge.
We plan to camp overnight at
the picnic grounds sometime this
fall.

FALL WEATHER
BERRY PICKING
Today it is kind of cold outside.
Thè sun is shining and the trees
and grass never looked greener.
Soon the leaves will be falling from
the trees and the flowers will turn
pale. It will begin to rain every
day. The grass will keep on grow
ing in the rain but not many of
the flowers will be blooming. The
rains will stop when spring comes
and then the flowers will start to
grow again.

EVery Saturday we go berry
picking. All the McBride girls go.
We pick one crate and take it to
the truck. Then we get another
crate. We give out tickets to one
of our matrons and the matron
takes care Of it so we won’t lose it.
We have sandwich and orange for
our lunch. Some of the girls say
“We’re still hungry.” Sometimes we
come back at 3:30, sometimes 4:00.
We come back on two buses. ,

Fire In McBride Hall
On September 17 there was a fire
in McBride hall. The fire started
while students and guidance lead
ers were having a guidance meet
ing in the rumpus room, which is
downstairs.
The meeting was over and the
girls were starting to go to their
rooms. They began to smell smoke.
The girls and matrons closed the
windows, unpluged the irons, and
washing machine. They left the
building through the nearest exit.
The girls lined up in an orderly
manner and stayed in their own
unit. The Unit leaders counted
their girls to be certain that every
one was in line and that no one was
left behind in the building.
After the girls were in line Mrs.
Pentecost told them to go to Wi
nona hall. The girls stayed all night
i?i Winona hall. The next day Units
3 and 4 missed their Home Eco
nomics classes to help washr the
furniture*
Every room was ok except one
room, Number 36. It was burned in
side. Room 35 had the curtains
^burned and some of the clothes
that were in the locker were partly
burned. The other rooms were just
smoky.

A HORNED LIZARD
A horned lizard has many sharp
horns. The horned lizard lives in
the dry, sunny land. Sometimes it
hides under the rocks. The Navajo
call them grandfather and some
people believe it.
