THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
YUM— YUM ROAST HAWK!
Our class voted to decorate the
building rather than enter a float
H| the parade. Many sketches were
made. We decided on a “Roast
Hawk” theme.
Materials w e r e collected and
everyone worked to complete the
project. Gunny sacks were cut-in
a man’s shape and fastened with
paper clips. These were stuffed
with newspapers. Then we made a
big paper hawk. We had trouble
getting the wings on. On the porch
of building No. 4 we had a group
of men sitting around a campfire
while a hawk was roasting over the
fire.
Friday was an exciting day for
us when we were told we had won
the “Annual Traveling Trophy” for
the best building decoration.
