V IS IT TO BLIND SCCHOOL
Last Saturday Fred Moses, Wasu-
iie, and I went to the Blind School
to visit John Alexie. We saw other
boys and girls who cannot see.
Some of the boys and girls at the
Blind School can see just a little.
We visited about one hour.

W H A T A DINNER!
On February 17th all the L.D.S.
members were invited to a dinner
at Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis’s home. The
girls went over right after services
and helped Mrs. Jarvis prepare the
meal. After a short time the boys
came.
We had a wonderful dinner, a
nice afternoon and we all really en
joyed every minute of it. Thank
you Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis.

DRIVER TR A IN IN G
TRIP TO BACHELOR BUTTE
The Unit Leaders from McNary
Hall were taken on a trip to Bache
lor Butte to spent the day skiing:
The boys who made the trip, be
sides the writers, were Peter Kippi,
Hultman Joshua, Raymond Paneàk
and George Jim.
Bachelor Butte is about 175 miles
from Chemawa. Wei saw wonderful
sights along the way among them
being Mt. Hood, The Sisters, Mt.
Jefferson, Mt. Washington, and Mt.
Bruno.
We followed the Santiam Pass
highway across the mountains. We
saw cattle ranches and horse ran
ches. We saw little roads leading
off through the mountains lined
with bushes, pine trees and maple
trees. Then we reached Big Cliff
Dam, then Detroit Dam and later
on Bachelor Butte Ski Run.
What a wonderful day of fun,
laughter, snow and excitement. We
appreciated the trip and want to
thank the staff for making it pos
sible and Mr. Matt for taking us.
