OUR DOORS All the time you open doors; doors to houses, 7 schools, and churches. In school it seems to be that way, too. When we all first enter school, we open our door for the purpose of learning to live a better way and maybe have a better job. When you finish with elementary school, don’t delay, but go on to high school. High school means a lot. It will help you get a better job. As you go through the school years always have these ideals with you, courtesy, honesty, loyalty, fairness, tenderness, and sociability. You could start now to work for your next doors that need to be opened. Help to keep them open for your friends, sisters and bro thers. Cecil Graymountain HOW TO BE POPULAR All of us want to be popular but many of us do not know how to become popular. Here are a few hints that we worked out in our class: The popular student - - - Is friendly with everyone. Is fun to foe with. Is a good listener. Isn’t shy. Has good manners. Has good grooming. Has a good attitude. Has a good reputation. Has school spirit. Uses good English. Doesn’t swear. Leaves other people’s property alone. Shows gratitude. Obeys rules. 8th grade. What's In It For You? OPPORTUNITIES Here at Chemawa we have many opportunities among which is get- placed on a job. This opportunity is for some of us who are finishing our training this year. The Voca tional 1 students who want to stay for summer may do so if they have their parents’ permission. They may be placed on a job if they know how to act on a job. I think that most of us do. We know what is meant by good attitudes toward your job and employer. We use good ftianners when we are on a job and when we are off the job, No student can be placed who has a poor record here at school. He needs to have good work habits, good attitudes and a clean personal appearance. A student who drinks should not be placed. May we all profit from the training we have received here at school so that we will foe good workers and good citizens. Stella Chester. WHILE WE SLEEP We are fortunate to have such a nice place as Chemawa in which to live, Here there are many staff members who are always trying t<5 do their best to help us. I would like to tell you about three of these staff members who many of us do not see very often because they do most of their work at night. They are Mr. David, Mr. Beyon and Mr. Brusven. Mr. David and Mr. Beyon work as janitors. They clean the halls in the school build ings, they clean the auditorium and many other places. Mr. Randolph acts as night watchman to relieve Mr. Brusvan. Mr. Norman Brusvan is the night watchman. He sees that everything is safe around the cam pus. He sees that all the buildings^ doors are locked and the lights are off in the buildings that are not being used. Our night watchmen protect us from danger while we sleep through the night. Nita Cleveland. RAILROAD CROSSINGS We should look both ways before we go across the railroad tracks. Stop when the red light is blink ing and the signal is ringing. Franklin Tritt. Whaf’s in it for you when you go to church on Sunday morning? What do you think of when you go into the auditorium on Sunday morning? The auditorium is used for many purposes during the week, like mbvies and assemblies. But on Sunday it is used for a very special purpose, just like a regular church. It is a place to listen to a sermon, adore God, and pray, so we should have respect while we are there. Do you ever think of how much time you spend each week on pray ing and church work? You are at church for two hours out of seven days. That isn’t enough for most of Us. So spend your two hours of time wisely in church. There is always time for fun and laughter after church. But when you are in church that is the time to be quiet and listening. It is a part of your education also. So remember that wherever you go to church, God is there,, and be have in the auditorium like you should in any other church. Olga Mutoyuk Johnny Ahngasuk WINNERS, ALL We think of the basketball play ers as winners alone. But we don’t realize how much other /students are winners, too, every day. For instance, the school months are al most over, and for those of you who are graduating this year if you have worked hard and made pro gress in these past few months you are the winners. Also for some stu dents that have little problems, if they stand up under them instead of letting the problems get them down, and get over with them, they are the winners, too. So let’s stop and think about each other, and give each other our thoughts as winners, all! Monica Usugan. CHEMAWA SCHOOL Chemawa Indian School is a good school for boys and girls to be in if they want to learn. It is a good school because the students do not only read about things but they- ac- tually see many things and learn many things. There are boys getting training in different shops, and on the farm. Boys learn to drive cars and work with many different tools. Aloysius Wasuli.
