MY SATURDAY JOB
I would like to tell you about
our football team. Two of the plac
ers, Robert Joe and Julius John
are in our class. The team manager,
Frank Etcitty, is in our class, too.
Tomorrow the team will play their
last game for this season. The game
will be played at MacLaren. We
hope that our boys will win this
one as we have won only one game
this season. We hope that Chemawa
Will have a good -football team next
year.

ROLLER SKATING
To me roller skating is very en
joyable especially When there is
music. I like the slow music. Some
boys and girls like to skate fast
but I think it is beitter to skate
slowly in crowded places. There is
less dstnger if you skate slowly.
On Saturday we sign up for skat
ing. I usually sigh Up When I do
not go to town.

BOOK REPORTS
It is a good thing that we have
book reports or else some students
would never read a book. In out
English class we must read at least
one book each quarter and then we
make a report on the book.
During the first quarter of this
school year I read and reported
on seven books. I like to read good
books.

CHOOSING EDUCATIONAL TRIP
Our teacher left the choice of
our educational trip up to our class.
This is how we made our choice.
First, we suggested some places
that we could go, like the zoo, mu
seum, cheese factory, paper mill
and the coast. The trip to the coast
received the most votes. We will
be going to the coast soon.

MISTAKE!
This morning, when the boys in
our class, went to the shop a man
came into the shop. He. asked us
who the station man around here
Was.
I said, “this is not a station. We
just have gas for the farmer.”

BASKETBALL TURNOUT
This week thirty-five boys turned
out for basketball. There were eight
managers helping the adviser, in
giving out balls to. the boys and
sweeping the gym floor before the
game.
First, the boys made thirty laps
and then they took twenty-five foul
shots. After that some of the boys
had to learn how to make a good
shot at the goal. I surely enjoyed
watching the boys practicing for
their games later on in the season.

WE VISIT
On Sunday, October 28, 1962,
Jane Griest, Roselihe Lai kin, Fan
ny Moses, Harriet Baldwin and
some boys went to the Nazarene
Church in Salem. There were col
lege students there too.
The Alaskan students talked
about their life in Alaska, while
the Navajo students talked about
living on the reservation in the
Southwest.
All students enjoyed visit the
church and meeting the people
there.
Harriet Baldwin
Every two weeks students from
McNary, Brewer, and Winona go
to the YWCA. Those that do hot
swim can help with the cookies
and coffee. After the students
swim, they can play games. Then
they go into another room for the
cookies and coffee.
We learn how to behave our
selves at the YWCA.

MY HOME TOWN
Barrow, Alaska, “On top of the
world,” is the farthest north town
on the North American continent.
It is just three minutes’ walk from
the beach of the Arctic Ocean.
There are 1500 people living in
Barrow. In town there are six
stores, four cafes, a show house, a
bank, a big post office, a hospital
and two elementary schools with
450 students enrolled. There is a
weather bureau near town and four
miles from town there is a military
base. There are two churches in
Barrow, the Presbyterian church
and the Assembly of God church.
Barrow is in a cold country, no
trees or grass grows there. A green
moss grows, which reindeer, cari
bou and moose live on. The winters
are long. In September it gets cold,
then the ice and snow comes. Each
day gets shorter until by November
18th the sun goes down below the
horizon. It does not show up again
until January 23rd. Then it just
comes up and goes right back
down. So the winters are long, co®
and dark. Sometimes it is 55° be
low zero. The cold winds blow, too.
The northern lights give a beau
tiful light in the dark, season. The
moon shines Very brightly, too. If
it is cloudy, it is very dark.
For eighty days in summer the
sun never sets— there is no night.
In May the ducks and géese return
to nest in the marshy country far
east of Barrow. In summer it is
warm, the average temperature is
42° above zero. You see, my home
is in a very different country from
Oregon where the trees and grass
stay green all winter.

EYE EXAMINATION
A few days ago five of the Che
mawa students went to a Salem
hospital to have their eyes exam
ined. I was one of the five. We went
up to the fourth floor and.then we
went into a waitiftg room. We sat
there and waited until it was our
turn. The first thing that happened
to us was that we had our eyes dia-
lated. This was done so that our
eyes could be tested to fit the true
lens that each of us needed.
After our eyes were dilated we
walked into another room where
we choose the frames for our new
glasses. After they were through
with us at the hospital we returned
to Chemawa.
I really appreciate the doctors
and nurses who help us to get well
and see better.
