OUR TRIP
m ents from Chemawa students:
Our class took an educational
trip to the Portland Museum and
Portland Zoo. The most interesting
thing th at I saw was the aquarium.
There were turtles, fish, snakes,
and frogs in it. I had never seen an
aquarium before. The following are
additional student impressions:
Joey Chischilly
A fter we went into the classroom with
our host we did work with them . When
they went to shop we want with them
and watched as they worked on th eir
projects. My host was making a pen
holder. We played volley ball' in the
gym for 30 minutes. I had dinner at my
host’s house. I enjoyed my visit.
Donald Hicks
This huge walk-in h eart was made out
of chicken wire, plastic and concrete
so th at you can walk in it and hear
the h ea rt beating. The huge h eart
weighs two tons. Our h eart pumps five
quarts of blood through our body in
about sixty seconds.
Robert L uther
An unusual thing th a t I saw was the
electric eel. I never heard of or saw a
living fish making electricity in his
body. I didn’t know th a t it was blind
until I read the sign. Our guide told us
th at the electric eel produces from 450
to 600 volts of electricity.
Bennie B. Yazzie
The most interesting thing th at I saw
was the eagle’s nest. The nest was in
side the big glass. There were two eggs
in the nest. There was a humming
b ird ’s nest beside the eagle’s nest. The
humming birds are very small.

TO THE COAST
Our class had a trip to the coast
on A pril 10. It was a w onderful
trip. We stopped at Boiler Bay and
at Depoa Bay where we visited the
Curio Shop. We saw a fishing boat
leave. Next we had lunch at
Fogarty Beach. A fter lunch we all
played in the w ater and waded in
the surf. Some of us got our clothes
wet in the ocean.
We went on to Agate Beach
where we looked for sea shells and
pretty rocks. It really rained hard
on the way home. We got back to
Chemawa a little after five o’clock.
It was a wonderful trip, everyone
had lots of fun. No one will ever
forget our trip to the coast.

about the hotel. When we retu rn ed to
my host’s home we had dinner and
watched TV until it was tim e to re tu rn

Steve Arizona
. . . I w ent to shop w ith my host. He
was making a pen set. The teacher told
each of our boys to make a pen set so
we each made one. . . . In the class
room I saw a film on Lewis and Clark
and one on N atural Resources.
. . . The principal told the Fernwood
boys and girls to take real good care of
us and he said th at he knew th a t we
would enjoy everything. . . . It cer
tainly was a wonderful, beautiful trip.
I certainly enjoyed it.
