Our campus has become our sec ond happy home. As we live here on the campus we find certain places that we especially like. As for me, I like to walk around the administration building and look at the pretty flowers growing around it. The blooms are very colorful. I think that everyone ad mires beautiful flowers. Even though we lost many of our big trees in the Columbus Day storm we still have the birds to watch as they fly around the re maining fir and maple trees. On lovely or sunny days I like to sit on the benches beneath the trees and watch what goes on around the campus. You see some people reading or just sitting on the benches resting. You can see the boys and girls and hear them talking and laughing as they walk along. If you look up you can see the leaves moving as the wind plays around them. Look down and you see the lush green grass. As I sit on my bench I hope that Chemawa will never have an other storm, like the hurricane that we did have, and spoil the beauty spots that have been left for us to enjoy. Elsie Oktoyak WE SING We all like to sing Christmas Car ols. Our class went to Miss Kring lee’s classroom to sing Christmas Carols with Miss Kringlee’s class. Miss Johnson, Miss Olds and Miss Koske came in to hear us sing. They enjoyed singing some songs with us. Sadie Jones Rose Sam The Rules for Keeping a Job STUDENT COUNCIL The student council serves a very useful purpose in our school life. I am a representative from our room. I attend the meeting of the student council. There are repre sentatives from each classroom. We bring suggestions to the meetings for the improvement of our school. We discuss needed changes in our school’s activities. The student council helps to im prove our school in many ways. We are eager to help when we see the need to help. We learn to take re sponsibilities and carry them out. This helps us to grow and develop. It helps us to meet new responsi bilities that may come in the future years. I will try my best to help our president in many ways. I am cer tain that the other representatives will help, too. Do you need our help? If you do, just call us. Will you? / Alice Ada Aklook IT MIGHT BE YOU! Re careful when you cross the street or railway tracks. Look both ways. Stop when you see the red light. Don’t cross when the red light is on. Don’t run across the railroad tracks when you see a train coming. Don’t run down the stairs, you might fall and break your arm or leg. Don’t run in the hallway. You might slip and hurt yourself. Won’t you pleasebe careful? Alice Hawthorne CHEMAWA AMERICAN The paper, Chemawa American, tells news about our school. It tells what has happened in the past two months. Chemawa American is a form of a newspaper. It is printed four times during the school year. It is of interest to the many stu dents here at Chemawa and to former students of Chemawa. The Chemawa American is written by students. Students should do their best writing for their school paper. Students should enjoy writing for the Chemawa American. Henry Manunick I hope that every one of us here at Chemawa are learning things that, will Jielp us here now andin the future, when we will be out on our own earning our living. We must remember that we are not sent to Chemawa to school just to have fun, have a bed, food, get an education and have the free use of public utilities. I have already learned the rulés for keeping a job. The first thing to do is start to work on time. Do your work the way the employer wants it done. Do not waste your time on the job. If you finish your job and see something else to be done go ahead and do it, don’t al ways wait to be told. If you do not understand what you are to do, ask questions. Always be honest and trustworthy. Dress right for the job you are doing. When you have vaca tion return to work on time. These rules are important to all of us when we go out on a job. There must be no end of trying to improve ourselves. If we try to ah ways improve and follow these rules we will all be able to keep our jobs. Shonnie Madison KEEP OUR CAMPUS CLEAN Do we students, at Chemawa School, keep Our campus clean? I would say that we do not or else there would not be papers, broken glass, sticks, pop bottles, rags and other trash on the cam pus. All this litter makes our campus look bad. It isn’t nice to see trash all over the campus. We should all dig in and help to clean up our campus and then keep it clean. When any of us are walking around the campus and see trash as papers, pop bottle, or other litter, pick it up and put it in the trash can. Our campus real ly needs a good going over and general clean up. Once in a while ask yourself these questions. What am I doing to help keep our Chemawa campus clean? Do I throw trash on the campus? The looks of our campus can be improved. It will take coopera tion to improve it. Let us all work together, get our campus clean, and keep it that way. Edward Touchine
