NAVAJO YOUTH CONFERENCE It was a pleasure for me to be one of the representatives to the Navajo Youth Conference which was held at Shiprock, New Mexico. We left Chemawa on the morning of November 30, in the company of Mr. Tom Wright, our faculty spon sor. There were five of us who made the trip, Barbara Bekes, Tom my Shorty, and Laberta Swartz, as the three Navajo representatives, and Nick Polty and Bernice Gurt ler, who were the Alaskan dele gates. We spent three days and two nights on the trip down. We had a lot of fun and saw a lot of new and wonderful things. „Mr. Wright was real good to put up with all our silly questions and continual chat ter. At Shiprock, we attended, the sessions of the conference^ and were able to meet a lot of students and make some new friends. One of the things with which we were im pressed, was the strong emphasis upon the importance of a good edu cation and the desire of all stu dents for the improvement of stan dards of living for their people. On our return trip we had an opportunity to visit Intermountain School, the largest Indian school in the United States. We returned to Chemawa on December 8. All of us felt that it had been a real exciting and informative exper ience. Bernice Gurtler Chemawa is proud of its students who made the honor roll.

McNary Hall has a canteen oper ated by the house council treasur er. Sometimes we run out of candy and when this happens we buy more from the wholesale house. The canteen is open from 9:15 to 9:45 p.m. each evening, and when business is good we sell over ten boxes of candy bars. The profits are put into the Md- Nary Hall Fund where it will be kept to be used for future needs of the dormitory. I enjoy working in the canteen because it gives me experience in handling m o n e y and making change. Cyrus Savetilik (manager of the canteen! Chemawa's Winning Group in Action.

Mr. Charles Holmes, shop teacher, acted as the coordinator between the school and the Red Cross. Blood drawn from Chemawa personnel forms a common blood pool for Chemawa and immediate families, unless individual people designate their blood to a specific person in need.
