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.

McNARY CANTEEN
If it’s candy you want, we usual
ly have it.
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.
