NEW BAND UNIFORMS
We are most happy and glad to
announce to all friends of Chem-
awa School the recent purchase of
50 Blazer coats which will serve as
a uniform for the Chemawa Band.
The school colors will be carried
out in the uniform (red and white.).
The coat is Scarlet Red with the
block “C” emblem colors being red
and white with black lettering. The
emblem, which we are very proud
of, was designed by Raymond Hos-
teen, one of our Seventh Grade stu
dents.
The purchase was made possible
through the joint efforts of Mr. Hal
lie 0. Walters representing the Gov
ernment and the Associated Stu
dents of Chemawa, Jane Lind, stu
dent body president.
We are sure that the Band will
be able to represent Chemawa
School better in the coming years
because of this purchase of uni
forms.
We wish to say a very large
THANK YOU to Mr. Walters and
the Associated Students of Chama-
wa for making the Band uniforms
available to the Band.

HEARTS DANCE
A highlight of the month of Feb
ruary was the Valentine Dance.
An invitation affair, the boys
called for the girls at the dormi
tory and escorted them to the gym.
Dress for the occasion was semi-
formal with some girls wearing
formals, high heels, and gloves,
while the boys were attired in jack
ets, white shirts, and ties.
The gym was colorfully decorat
ed with paper flowers and red pa
per hearts.
Music was by Chemawa’s own
dance band “The Northern Lights.”
Of the fifty couples attending ev
eryone had a wonderful time.

SCOUTS HAVE WINTER OUTING
On January 30, 1965, 19 explorer
scouts of Post 123, and 12 Boy
Scouts of Troop 23, Chemawa, went
to Government Camp oh Mount
Hood to see the dog sled races.
Some of th e . boys watched the
teams being hitched in preparation
for the 12:00 noon race, which oth
er boys walked up to Snow Bunny
Lodge to have coffee and look
around.
During the afternoon some of the
boys rented inner-tubes and went
sliding on a hill behind the lodge.
While at Government Camp,
Thomas Kameroff had his picture
taken by Don Hobart of “High and
Wild Television Show.” The picture
includes Thomas and the dog' sled
which he made here at Chemawa.
We all thank our scouting advis
ors for taking us on such an excit
ing and enjoyable trip.

GOOD WEATHER BRINGS OUT
FARM EQUIPMENT
The beautiful spring weather has
given a real opportunity for the
farm equipment clashes to get out
into the fields and put into practi
cal use the things they have been
learning during the stormy winter
months.
Some of the activities that have
been carried on lately have been
operating the big tractors with
discs and plows, digging trenches
with the back hoe, leveling and
planting’ the fields, and making
trails and clearing brush with the
bulldozers.
The Guidance Staff in the Girls
Department chose j1 h e following
girls as Girls-of-the-MOnth for
the months of February: Sophie
Balluta, Phyllis Miller, Olga Standi-
fer, Nancy Patsy, Carol Kompkoff,
Mary Iyahuk, Grace One, Kathy Ol
son, Kathy Inga, Gloria Morena, An
nie Mann, and Gloria Hawthorne.
Each month 8 girls from Winona

of commendation.
Beginning for thé month of
March, in addition to the Girl-bf-
the-Month award, there will also be
a Unit-of-the-Month award for the
outstanding unit in each dormitory

Noberto was chief cook with Wil
liam Tritt as his able assistant. To
the meat basis the boys added pota
toes and hot chili along ^with plen
ty of milk and hot coffee. The gang

could eat and plenty left over for
dorm snacks.
