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.

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.
