8 THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN "April Showers" is the Theme “A pril Showers” was the theme for the spring dance sponsored by Winona Hall. Many beautiful um brellas were made by the Winona Hall girls during the evenings. On the day of the dance we found that “A pril Showers” was a very appro priate theme as it was raining and we had a hard job to get the paper umbrellas from Winona to the gym. The gym. resembled a garden. Tables and chairs were set under the umbrellas and enclosed by white picket fences. Sprinkling cans and many flowers were on the walls. During the evening, punch and coffee were served in the North room which had been decorated on the same theme. The Student' Recreation Leaders had a night out in appreciation for the good work they had done all year. Mr. Oosterveen and Mrs. Long drove the leaders to Randall’s Chuck Wagon where they feasted from the smorgasbord. Those at tending the feast were: Jane Lind, Grace One, Ethel Moses, Clara Van Winkle, Lorraine Castiana, Janana Castiana, M argaret Kittick, Irene Ramoth, Martha Mishakoff, Orlinda Johnson, Larry Larkin, Nelson Jones, Raymond Paneak, Tom Nachin, Ira Smith, Ira Issac, Lewis Secody, Joseph James, Welch Math- law, Herman Lee, Mrs. Oosterveen and Mr. Long. The Cheerleaders and Pep squad w ere treated to a party the night of graduation day. T h e Varsity basketball players also attended. Everyone was sad to say, “Good bye” to Roger Henry and Kee Re gay who left the next morning to go on their new jobs. All enjoyed making pop corn and roller skat ing. Mr. and Mrs. W alters and Mr. Ooosterveen were guests. CHANGE OF STORE HOURS The change of store hours came with the change to daylight saving time. The first night started out really nice. The hours are now from six p.m. to seven p.m. We think that this is a good idea as it gives us time to get home work, washing, or ironing done before store time. It also helps us to enjoy our dinner better because we do not eat sweets before dinner. We hope that the hours do not change again back to regular time. Johnny Ahngasuk Ira Isaac Henry Boone HEALTH CENTER On April 11, Mrs. Junita Brown ing was called to Washington, D. C> to receive the Superior Service A w a r d of the Departm ent of Health, Education & W elfare. The award was personally presented by Secretary Anthony J. Celebreeze. It consister of a silver medal, a lapel pin, and a certificate. The award reads: “Mrs. Juanita Browning, Director of Nurses, whose service to the In dian people has been marked by exceptional leadership, competence and devotion—has made a m ajor contribution to the Indian Health Program and reflected credit; on the U. S. Public Health Service.” Mrs. Browning came to Chemawa from Tohatchi, New Mexico, in Au gust 1960. The students and staff members of the Bureau of Indian Afairs say, “Congratulations Mrs. Browning.” One of the health problems is a hearing loss in a large num ber of students which is the result of ear infections when they were younger. Much has been done to help the hearing. Forty-four boys received spotted fever (tick) shots before going on jobs in Eastern Oregon. Dr. Leslie N e l s o n , MOC, will attend the U. S. Public H ealth Clin ical Society meeting in Gajlup, New Mexico the week of April 29, 1963. This year 21 students have had tonsillectomies, 4 have had mastoid operations on the ear, 19 have had Myringoplasty operations in the ear. Dr. Douglas Thompson, ear specialist, Salem, Oregon, did the ear surgery on the Chemawa stu dents. Dr. Terry Baker, dental officer, will leave May 5th for Tahola, Washington, on th e Quinault In dian Reservation. He will be work ing in a dental trailer for 2 weeks. Anderson James, Reporter VISITORS Approximately eighty-four stu dents from Oregon College of Edu cation visited our school during the past month. All these students are planning to be teachers. I hope that we encouraged them. Grace One RESEARCH TRIP TO EUGENE A group of Chemawa students took part in a research project. The ones who took part were Eski- ihos, Athabascan Indians from Alaska and the Navajo Indians from Arizona and New Mexico. We were divided into three groups. T here were six boys in each group. The first group went on Sunday to Eu gene, the second on Tuesday, and the third on Thursday. We certainly enjoyed the trip and staying overnight on the cam pus. The Air Force paid for our meals and we were paid $15.00 a day for helping out. Orrin John Raymond Paneak HERE AND THERE Olga Muktoyuk will be leaving for business training a t the W est ern University of Business in P ort land on May 9th. Four boys will depart for Seattle on May 8th for training as carpen ters. They are: Johnny Duncan, Henry Manumik, Job Kasak, and H erbert Trupillo.

He will go to Oregon City, Oregon. | On April 18th fourteen boys went to Eastern Oregon for perm anent jobs on ranches; Twenty-five more will be leaving for summer jobs about May 6th. All the Chemawa students that have gone on relocation seem to be doing well on their jobs. We hear that all the reports that have been received by the school have been very good. Congratulations to all of them. Anderson James L.D.S. GO TO SALEM The students that attend the L.D.S. Church went to Salem, Ore gon, to attend a sacrament meeting which was held for a man that is going out as a missionary to Chile. It was a sad m eeting because his m other’s talk was sad. Laberta Swartz RAIN It has been raining all during April. Well maybe it is good to have the rain so th ere will be enough w ater for this summer’s growing season. All we need now is. to have the sun shine and the plants will grow real fast. The plants will feed the animals and us too. Leo Ayuluk
