Newspaper Page TextTHE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Recreation Activities Labor Day was celebrated with a Field Day. Because the weather was so warm thè races were held on the lawn in front of Winona hall. There were sack races, three- legged races, a marshmallow race (this was very popular with the younger students as everyone could eat his marshmallow), a balloon throw. The balloons were filled with water so the losers really got wet. The big event of the afternoon was the tug-of-war. The losing team was pulled through the water from the hose— that was f^n as it was so warm the cold water felt good. The winners received prizes of peaches and pears. The newly appointed recreation leaders helped Mr. Long and Mrs. Oosterveen. The Pep Club has been organized with Mrs. Long as sponsor. There are 75 members in the club. They have elected the following girls as their officers: P r e s i d e n t, Jane Lind; Vice President, Olga Muk- toyuk; Secretary, Lucy James; Treasurer, Bertha Kayuk, Ward robe mistress, Helen Hanely. Cheer leading tryouts were held in the gym with the following girls to | lead our varsity team being chosen: Elsie Atoyak, Marion Ani* os, Kathy Inga and Grace Hansen. They made their first appearance at the Jamboree at Mill City. The Pep Club with their bright red sweaters added color to the excite ment. This year the cheer leaders have added white gloves to their uniforms.— Jane Griest. On Thursday night all the girls go to the gym for recreation per iods. The girls have been doing physical fitness exercises. The Mc Bride and Winona girls do these exercises for ten minutes. The ex ercise leaders get all the girls into the halls to do five active exercis es. Some of the girls had stiff muscles at first. Chemawa students are happy to hear that the YWCA program is to start September 23. McBride girls are busy signing up for the Rainbow Club. A group of Rainbow girls from Salem under the leadership of Mrs. Irma John son will be coming each fourth Sat urday of the month to hold club meetings. Last year the girls who were lucky enough to be in this group had a great deal of fun. They learned new hair styles, did craft work, and learned to dance and do new steps. This year the Rainbow Girls will bring new projects to oiir campus. Rolleiskating is again in prog ress at the gym. The McBride and Mitchell students had to stand up to eat last Sunday as many of them took their first lessons on roller skates on Saturday evening. Les sons will foe given on Wednesday afternoons for beginners. The new organ records add to the pleasure of roller skating. Large crowds have been attend ing the Friday night dances. The hew room in the gym is opened for the students to play table games and visit with their friends. The Flea Market (rummage sale) has given many of the girls an op portunity to buy some articles of clothing as well as the high heels that have been seen around the campus. Sunday night the girls hold their guidance meetings in the auditor ium. At the first meeting there was a style show with the girls wearing the proper and improper clothes for various activities. Community singing is popular with the girls. Maybe some Sunday night you have heard “On Chemawa” as the pro gram usually ends with the girls singing it and marching back to the dormitories' | Jane Griest Dorcas Rock GIRLS HELP TEA M Last Friday at the football field Elsie Oktoyak and I held a big round hoop covered with paper for the football players. When they came onto the field they ran through the hoop. We were worried about it because we thought the football players might hit us or knock us down. We got along fine and it was lots of fun. Marion Amos M Y FIRST YEAR This is my first year in Chemawa. I surely enjoy staying here. When I first came it seemed so lonesome but it doesn’t any more. I had. a good time on my trip to Chemawa. It seems very different here, in Oregon. When I went bean picking I saw all kinds of live animals. I saw horses, sheep and cows. When I went bean picking I was always cool in the morning and than I would get very warm in the after noon. Now I am getting used to being in Chemawa I am also get ting used to the weather. Louis Norton 5 Trip To Chemawa I started from Monument Valley on the 20th of August. I came to Tuba City, then to Flagstaff. I spent the night riding on the Grey hound Bus. It stopped at Las Vegas at 5 a.m. I ate breakfast there, then got on the bus again. I got to Che mawa Indian School at 5:30 p.m. I saw many other stsudents as I got off the bus. They all seemed happy. I was too tired to foe happy. It was real nice seeing my friends again. Charles K. Black This is my first year at Chemawa Indian School. I like the school very much. I did not know many things about Chemawa until I came here Jbut I like it even better than any other school that I have gone to. We students, had a nice trip from Chinle, Arizona, to Chemawa, Oregon. It was a long trip but we had lots of fun on the trip. I en joyed it all very much. Irene Gorman This is my first time in Che mawa. I had some fun on my trip to Chemawa as I met some nice people. Chemawa is a nice place to stay but Chemawa is a hot place. I like Chemawa. In Chemawa we play basketball and football. It is fun to play those games. David Westcoast The trip to Chemawa was just fine but it was long and tiresome. We started the trip to Chemawa from Arizona. After we had ridden a long ways, boy! I got so tired of sitting I felt like taking a long walk. I looked at my friend sitting beside me and there she was just sleeping away. I could not sleep but I guess it was because my seat mate was taking all the Space and leaning against me. I was tired of being leaned on and I thought that it was my turn to sleep and lean against my friend. From then on we took turns and kept on doing it the rest of the trip. Soon we were passing Salem, Oregon, and everyone was so hap py. I was still tired and lazy. The other boys and girls were jumping up and down and making noise but still I did not feel like jumping or singing until my friend, Faye, be gan and then I joined in, too. We were all so happy to see Chemawa again. Susan Grandson
