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.
