HOW HIGH CAN YOU CLIMB The all-school assembly sponsor ed by the Ag, Department offered a challenge to all students of Chemawa. The assembly opened by asking three question^; From where did we come??!, Why are we here?, Where are we going? The first question was answered by a display of posters showing the Arctic north and the great déserts of the South west .Showing that each of these regions differ greatly from the Pa cific Northwest. ,The second ques tion was an opportunity to learn. This was shown by demonstrations of using the senses of sight, smell, feeling, taste and hearing. By de veloping our senses we can ac quire skills that can be sold in the form of labor. A demonstration of a chain show ed how academic, vocational, grouf» living, and recreation all form part of the learning process. The last question was answered with a display of a tree of events depicting various branches of prep aration with the question of, “How high do you want to climb?” Larry Larkin was the narrator. Sinka Littlefish. BOWLING Some boys and girls went to Kei zer to learn about bowling. When we got to the bowling alley the first thing that we did was to get bowl ing shoes. Then we were shown a slide film on, “How to Bowl.” A man taught us how to hold the ball and how to throw it down the alley. He told us how many steps to take. He said that we should wear com fortable. clothes when we bowl. At first the ball was kind of heavy blit later it was light. I guess that your hand gets used to it. It is really fun to bowl. The more that you learn about bowling the more fun it is to bowl. It is almost like playing basketball to see who gets the most points. Ned Tohannie Carol Van Winkle FOLK SINGERS Last Thursday, January 24 some boys from South Salem High School came here to Chemawa School and sang. Four of the boys played jazz. The other three boys sang fqlk songs. They really know how to sing. I surely enjoyed list ening to them. Thelia Sevouhok.

We learn many things from these films such as how to act on a jobj how to keep a job. We learn about many different places and things. The films help us in our classroom work as we talk about the films in class, we study the new words that are used. Bessie Jean Parish TOPPING MAPLE TREES One morning we heard a great big noise. We looked outside and there we saw. men up in the maple tree. They were topping the trees. It was fun to watch the sawdust and branches fall. The men set up a big sign it said; “Danger Over head.” Now all the trees on the campus have been topped. Agnes Charley and Annie Benally.
