4 AUTO SHOP GETS NEW TEACHING DEVICE The auto shop is quite enthused about a new electronic projector they have received. The projector uses a film strip which is synchro nized with a phonogroph record so that the story is told as the pic tures are shown. One of the most interesting films is an animated one about combustion. The air is pictured as a huge blue man, the fuel is the little yellow man, and the ignition is the'little red man. When all three get together under the proper conditions, a big explo sion takes place. This is combustion. The shop has also been very busy repairing the autos that have been put but of operation by the cold weather and high water.

Diana Shorty THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Social Service Worker at Chemawa 8D CLASS DINNER It is said that, “The proof is in the pudding.” The eight D class would have to agree that the “Proof is in the dinner.” Last October our class set;as a goal the earning of enough money to have a class par ty at Christmas time.

Rosaline Thomas 9-D PEP CLUBS MARCH IN VETERANS DAY PARADE Over 80 members of the Junior and Varsity Pep Club marched in Salem’s Veterans Day parade. Mr. Wolfe marched with the five drum mers who set the pace. The yell kings made their first public ap pearance. They are Tommy Wheel er, George Kudrin, Mark A. Hirat- suka, Eugene McKaren and James Jackson. Despite the rain and cold each marcher was in line and step. Chemawa is proud of the group. Chemawa School employed the services of a social worker in Aug ust of 1962. We are the only Indian school to have t h e s e ; specialized services at this timie. Many of the Public School sys tems throughout the country have used the services of social workers for a number of years in helping students: who seem to be having difficulty adjusting to school life, working with the fam ilies of these students to help them to under stand the student’s needs, as well as the school. This service to the student, his family, and the school, enables the student to have a more successful educational experience. Social Service in a boarding school is somewhat different from Public Schools because the families of our students live so far away. Therefore the social worker must work through other social workers in the student’s home area. He seeks the assistance of other re sources to help the students achieve a more full and successful life. TALENT SHOW On November 27 and 28, the stu dents of Chemawa put on a talent show. It was a lot of furi for Us that took part and I know that the stu dent body enjoyed it very much. Most of us were quite nervous be fore the show began but as we be gan most of us got a little braver. We had a variety .of activities from singing/ playing instruments, reading poetry, and just plain clowning around. A couple of the highlights of the show were our musical group called The Northern Lights, and the solo singing of Or rin John. It is hoped that next year more students will take part. A ll of us that took part felt that it/was very worthwhile for us as well as the audience.
