"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.

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.

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.

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.

EXPLORERS GO CAMPING
The Explorer Scouts from Che-
mawa enjoyed a night of camping.
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.

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.
