4 "NEW" DRIVERS TRAINING CAR The school has a 1958 Chevrolet to replace the 1956 Ford sedan as a Drivers’ Training Car. The new car has an automatic type trans mission. In Drivers’ Education you learn how to drive a car but that is only part of the program. One must learn the laws of the State for cars and drivers, one must also learn about the different signals, defen sive driving, and safety rules for handling a car. By having less me chanical operations to do, such as shifting the transmission, a student gets more practice on obeying laws, watching what other cars near him are doing so he doesn’t get hit, and learning to drive in a safe manner. The new car should help students to become safer drivers. Tommy Shorty COG WHEELERS GUESTS OF SALEM HOME SHOW Twenty Vocational Shop students were the guests of Salem Building contractors and Mr. Ed Fisher at this year’s Salem Home Show. The boys saw new building ma terials, equipment, techniques and furnishings in the booths and dis plays of building materials, decor ating and finishing homes. The highlight of the trip was en tertainment by TV star Heck Harp er, a harmonica duo, a daring hand balancing act and music by a five- piece orchestra. We saw a complete model circus done in miniature scale: also live seals and dolphins in a large tank. Mr. Kraus and Mr. Holmes ac companied us on the trip. George Jim Simeon Arnakin THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Nabb, and Mrs. Anderson, the bus driver. Our first stop was at the Eyerly Air Craft in Salem, Oregon, which makes all kinds of carnival rides. We saw several plane workers, some were welders, others were working with drills, lathes and other tools. The two tools that held our attention were a radial drill, a big machine made in Italy. It is operated with press button, elec tronics. Then there was the circular saw that cuts all kinds of metals. This new tool came from Germany. Our next stop was the Gerlinger Manufacturing Company. Here we saw the men making lumber car riers and fork lift trucks. We had a two hour tour of the plant. We saw many new and interesting tools such as the automatic machines and the new type welding machines. From Dallas we went to Inde pendence, Oregon, to the Holt Man ufacturing Company. We saw the men here make steel and ductil iron in the foundry. We saw the men pull the bottom out from un der the furnace. This looked like a Fourth of July Celebration as the sparks and flames went as high as the ceiling. Bert Foxglove TIME FOR STEW! Mrs. Ballard’s Home Making Class had a stew dinner. We were divided into two groups and each group had their part of getting the dinner to do. We didn’t only have stew, we had muffins, cream puffs and cof fee. We were all very happy when the table was set and we were all eating. It was the best stew that I have ever eaten. Mary Damian TRACK CARPENTER STUDENTS ON TRIP TO ALBANY The boys from the carpenter shop took an educational trip to visit the Albany Furniture Manufacturing Company in Albany, Oregon.

We left Chemawa around nine o’clock one morning and it took us about two hours to drive to the coast. We camped on the beach overnight. We went fishing in Sand Lake but we didn’t catch any fish. The camp we stayed at is called Camp Chinook. Isidore Pete OVER NIGHT AT CAMP MERIWEATHER On April 6,1963, Mr. Loyal Smith, Explorer advisor, Mr. Burright and twenty Explorer Scouts left the school for a trip to Camp Meri- weather. We had a bus load of sun- plies. We arrived at the camp about noon. We ate our lunch in the bus as it was raining. As soon a s .it stopped raining we took our sup plies to our assigned camp, which was about three-fourths of a mile away. We tried fishing but only one little perch was caught by Mr. Bur- right. We boys got one star fish for our classroom. Saturday evening some Boy Scouts who were camped next to us invited us to join them around their Council Fire. They entertain ed us with singing and a short skit. We slept in wooden, frame shelt ers, six bunks in each and one side open. We had to cook our break fast on Coleman camp stoves as there was no dry wood to be found. It had rained most of the night. After breakfast Mr. Smith held church services and then we head ed for Sand Lake. There we boys had lots of fun trying to catch a flounder. It started to rain again so we started back to Chemawa.
