C H EM A W A HOME
C O M IN G 1963
The Chemawa Homecoming, Oc
tober 11, 1963, started with the
judging of the building decorations;
at 10:00 A. M. by a committee com
posed of Mrs. Brannon, Miss Mitch
ell, Mr. Fredrickson, Dr. Pelley and
Dr. Carr. The parade followed at
11:00 A. M. The theme seemed to
be “Beat the Hawks” . Since a num
ber of students were seeing the pa
rade for the first time, we were de
lighted with the number and vari
ety of marching units and floats.
The football game between our
Indians and the McLaren Hawks
started at 2:00 P. M. Although we
lost 43 to 0, the Pep Club’s enthusi
asm and the good sportsmanship
of our team kept the interest high.
At half time the winners for the
best float and best building decora
tions w e r e announced. Trophies
were awarded to Mr. A1 Smith’s
room for the best building decora
tion and to the ninth and tenth
grades for the best float. Also con
testants for Homecoming Queen
were presented.
At 7:36 P. M. was the climax —
the Homecoming Dance. About 200
well groomed boys escorted their
dates from Winona Hall. The girls
wore beautiful dresses. Last year’s
queen,: Julia Redhouse, and her es
cort, Anderson Tullie, led the
Grand March. After this Effie Cur
ley was crowned the new queen and
Leon Kiana the new king. Refresh
ments were served during the eve
ning. At 9:30 P. M. another success
ful and exciting Chemawa Home
coming had ended.

social studies classes. Once a week
this year we have a filmstrip sent
airmail. We see the pictures on
film and hear the stories from our
teacher. T h e r e are many good
thought questions to help under
stand what is, going on in the world.
Newspapers and television give
stories and pictures of the news as
it happens.
