THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
Thoughts On Returning
From Oregon State Fair
Oji, Boy! Did I have fun riding,
especially in the “Rocket” or what
ever they call it! I just lâughed all
of the way through the ride but my
friend who was sitting by me was
n’t laughing at all. She was just
screaming and hollering. I tried to
tell my friend not to scream so
loud but she said she couldn’t help
it. I guess I screamed once or twice
when it was too sudden for me. I
had other rides on the roller coast
er and ferris wheel. I didn’t like
the roller coaster too much. I kept
bumping around too much, that’s
why.
I had never been to anything like
the State Fair in Alaska or any
where. I guess I’ll say this was the
best experience of my life. Thank
you, Mr. Walters, for letting us go.

My trip to the State Fair was
valuable because I had never been
to a fair before. We went to see a
4-H Club exhibit. Some of the
clothës were really neat.

The things at the State Fair that
were interesting were the cows,
horses, and chickens. There were
buildings with nothing in them but
just these animals.

MY TRIP TO THE
OREGON STATE FAIR
Last year we did hot, have a
chance to go down to thé State
Fair. But this lucky year we had a
chance to go. Each class went to
the fair by turns.
On the morning it was our turn
to go, I had to go to the hospi
tal for a physical check-up. When
I came back to my class, there was
nobody in it. I looked for them but
couldn’t find them. I asked one
of the teachers where my class was.
He told me they had left the fair
already. Oh, how my heart sank to
the bottom of my feet!! Then one
of them asked me to go with their
group since my group had left me
behind. My, howmy heart jumped!
When we got to the fair we walk
ed all around. I didn’t want to go
back to Chemawa that time. When
I came home, I said to one of the
teachers, “I went with my wallet
fat, and came back broke.” He
started to laugh. Anyway, it was
thé most joyous trip ever.

Trip Highlights Are Reported
We started from Tuba City, Ari
zona, and we went through four
states^ It took us two nights and
one day. We had supper at Las
Vegas and breakfast at Reno. It
was an exciting trip. I tried not to
go to sleep but I went to sleep and
spent my time sleeping all the way.

My trip to Chemawa was very in
teresting; I left home town and
went to Nome. We stayed at Nome
for five days. Just when I was get
ting tired of Nome we went to
Fairbanks and then on to Seattle
and Chemawa. I am happy to be
back in school here.

When the day came for the stu
dents from Kotzebue and some of
the little villages, around there to
leave, I was glad that we were fin
ally going to Chemawa. But when
we took off I didn’t feel very good
because it was pretty hard to leave
home and g o so far, for the first
time. y
It took us about two hours and
thirty-five minutes to go from Fair
banks to Seattle by Alaska Airlines
Convair 880 Jet Clipper.

I My trip to Chemawa took three
days of thrilling airplane rides and
a bus from Seattle to Tacoma to
Chemawa.
It was exciting meeting our old
friends at the International Air
ports of Bethel, Anchorage and
Seattle. It was also nice to get ac
quainted with other new students
coming to Chemawa.
I Arriving here at Chemawa was
exciting, too; for we knew once
again we were going to see2 old
friends and once again spend a
winter without cold winter snow
storms. But I guess the cold winter
snow storms Will be substituted by
the heavy rainfall. Anyway, heavy
rain doesn’t matter as long as you
have a raincoat to keep you from
getting wet for we’re back at Che
mawa once again.

My trip to Chemawa was slow be
cause I had to stay in Fairbanks
for six days, but I enjoyed it. It
was wonderful to stay in the Hos
pitality House in Fairbanks and
make some new friends.

On the 27th of August I left
home by the N. CJ Airlines. I didn’t
have time to eat my breakfast. The
plane came while I was in bed. So
I just got up, took my luggage and
left home with an empty stomach.
Just before taking off I saw Jacob
Andrew in his boat checking his
fish net.
Chemawa is a lot different from
my home place. Chemawa has big
trees and hot afternoons.
Wilson Berlin
Man! Riding in the jet airliner
was very good. Inside of the jet
airliner it was quiet.
As soon as we got to Chemawa
we went to the dorm and had a
meeting about the rules and how
we should do at Chemawa. When
that was over I was dead asleep. In
about-one hour one of the boys
woke me up and by golly, it was
Earl Cleveland.

A CHEMAWA RETURNEE SAYS:
I was glad to see all of my
friends again. Some of them were
changed and some of them were
the same as they were last year. I
was glad to see them because some
of the girls always help me. I was
glad to meet all of my teachers and
helpers in the dormitory. The cam-
pus was almost the same as last
year but there were lots of pretty
flowers and thick grass. There were
many more students than last year.
It was so hot wheii i we got here
that we had to take our coats off.

HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS
At Home Economics we saw a
film that was very important for
us to see. The film Was “How, to
Make Freinds.” It told how we
make friends with different kinds
of people who live in the world. I
am very glad we saw the film be
cause there are many girls who
don’t know how to make friends.

CAMPUS TREES
The different kinds of trees on
our campus make it look very nice.
The campus looks especially beau
tiful when the trees are all trim
med up. On the campus there are
pine, spruce, cedar, maple, walnut,
fir, weeping willows, tamarisk, and
birch trees. There are other trees,
too, that I do not know, I would
like to know about all the kinds of
trees that grow on the campus.
