4 THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN CHILD CARE STUDIED From February 4th through February 15th from 10:00 A. M. until 11:30 A. M. the Home Eco nomics girls conducted a nursery school. They studied child care and observed the children as they play ed indoors. We learned that each individual has a different person ality. After the outdoor activity the the children were brought in, we helped them wash their hands, then a snack was served. When refresh ments were over the children were taken back to their homes. The children attending the nurs ery school were: Brian and Brenda Bremner; Carla and Verna Conner, Martha and Bonnie Farring, Julie and Steven Nelson, Cindy Woods, Mike Belgard, Kim Shepherd, Di anne Marshall, and Priscilla Far ring. We appreciate the parents letting us take care of their children. We really liked them and enjoyed working with them. Sara Juneby and Rachel Aveoganna. HOME ECONOMICS Grace One, Reporter Chemawa g i r l s . go op-Saturday jobs to earn and learn. Vocational I & II girls use part of their money for their personal sewing projects. The money listed here is from Home Service jobs only: to date there have been 1,907 jobs. The girls have earned an average of $305.66 each Saturday. The total earnings are $8,253.00 to March 1963. The girls try each Saturday to improve their work and be valu able employees. Clara Pete. SHORT HOURS The shortest hours of the day come when I am in Home Ec class. We do lots of sewing and cooking in class. What I like to do is get my project out that I am working on and get right to w ork. so that I will not waste a minute. Around ten o’clockwe have our daily coffee break. Then we get right back to work and work until one of the girl’s calls out, “Clean up time.” Then we all have to get busy and dean up. On our next trip to Salem we will get material for our prom dresses. I think time will go even faster when we begin to work on them. The saying is true, if you are in terested in what you are doing time passes quickly. What about you? Does time pass quickly? Are you really interested in what yOu- are doing? Mabel, Paneak. NEW TRAINING AID AID IN AUTO SHOP Last Sunday afternoon about 12:30 I went to the YWCA for the first time. Some other boys and girls, from Chemawa, went too. When we go to the YWCA we pay thirty-five cents. We went into the swimming pool for a good swim. We had lots of fun. After we were through swimming we went into the gym and played some games. We came back to Chemawa about 4:00 P. M. David L. Begay. The boys in Vocational II, who are taking auto shop this year are very fortunate. A wrecked Ford Fal con Sedan was secured from the Air Force for our shop. The entire top, two doors, and panels from the remaining doors, trunk lid, and hood have all been removed so that we can see the operations of var- ious working parts. The entire car has been mount ed on a steel dolley. The rear wheels are set on steel pressure rollers enabling us to “feel the road” when we start the engine and place the power train in gear. This car is actually a power training guide. Charles Alexie THE CARPENTER SHOP J We are taking carpentry a quar ter of a day. We are learning about the machines, such as planers^ lathes, shapers, and four kinds of saws that we use for cutting. We are learning how to use and how to change a saw blade and how to oil the machines, I We learned about all kinds of woods and the names of the woods. Sometimes we have movies about carpentry. We like to learn more about wbod and woodworking. Alfred Kasuse When I went to the carpenter shop for the first time I thought that the work was hard I have kept on going and now ?I can even run some of the machines. Before we boys, in the class, learned- to run the machines we all had to learn the safety rules. Our shop teacher taught them to us. That was good as we have all been in class several weeks now and no one has gotten hurt. Our teacher' does not allow us to fool around because it is too dangerous. £ I think that the boys are learning many things. They are learning to obey rules and regulations. Frank Hardy CABINETS Boys in Vocational II taking carpentry have a chance to apply their knowledge. The carpentry cabinet boys are Johnny Berke ley and I. We are building new cabinets for the new paint shop. This has been a cooperative venture. The paint-shop boys de cided how they wanted the cabi nets to look and what uses they’ were going( to make of them. The ¿[rafting class used this , informa tion in designing and developing working drawings. Then we start ed building them. We are trying to do our best work. Herbert Trujillo. MECHANICAL DRAWING Every afterday at 2:25, the boys in my class go to mechanical draw ing class. Every dine that we draw has to be measured. We use tri angles, rulers, and five different kinds of pencils. All thèse pencils are numbered, and we are to know when to use which one That .is not. all, it takes a lot of math, and I think th at it really does help us. a lot with our math. Jerry Bennett
