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.

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.

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.
