Stu- EDITORIAL STAFF I TIP M Y HAT! Yes, Chemawa is a school. It is a school with a long and interesting history. With great pride, many grandfathers, grandmothers, fath ers, mpthers, brothers and sistersf speak of Chemawa and the many wonderful and exciting moments; days, and years it has afforded them. They, too, were students of Chemawa. They remember it well; It still is a seat of learning, a cenl ter of training experiences, a build! er of ideals, character, habits and attitudes, and a place of exciting activity for boys and girls. It will always play that role. Many come; a few go, but the best remains for the finish. I tip my hat to those who make it to the finish line. Hallie 0.
