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.

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.

FILMS IN THE CLASSROOM
Every Monday morning we look
at a film in our classroom. We don’t
look at the films for fun. We look
at them to learn. 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.

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.
