Water colors, oil painting, ivory carving, leather Work, bead work, metal tooling, and general handle craft have been some of the most common activities. Classes are of fered in the evenings on a strictly voluntary basis, and are conducted by the dormitory personel. THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Former Student Makes Progress It is always a pleasure for Chema wa to be able to report on the fine progress of one of its former stu dents. Word was received recently of the fine accomplishments of John Tony Lee. Mr. Lee, whose home is Jane Lind draws money out of the bank from teller Tom Shorty. STUDENTS OPERATE BANK Juila Antony and Mary Charlie with pic ture frames they are making. WHY I AM AN EXPLORER SCOUT This is my second year in the Explorer Post 123 and I like it very much. In the scouts we do many things which are interesting and educational. This year we went for an over night outing to the Portland Zoo and the Lloyd Center. We also went up to Mount Hood and saw the dog sled races. Another time we went up on the mountain to go skiing. In the explorers we learn about taking responsibilities by conducting the school patrol and by directing traffic at the Pageant. In our meetings we have many in teresting speakers and are taught by our leaders about a lot of inter esting and useful things. We also have the opportunity to use our hands in making things such as dog sleds and pack boards. Most boys think that scouting is dull, but I think it is one of the most exciting things I have ever done. Mike Peterson Chemawa now has a student bank which is operated by the students themselves under the sponsorship of Mrs. Hendren. Recently one of the offices in Academic One was remodeled to make a bank, complete with coun ter, two teller windows, glass pan elling, and a safe. Students take the deposits, pay out the withdrawals and balance the ledger sheets. LIBRARY USAGE Chemawa students are using their library! We average 450 books a week and on an average day 125 students use the library. They come to the library during study halls and after school. Some of the classes are using the library for reference work and library instruction. There are now two girls receiving voca tional training in the library. Rena Davis who has been here all year and Annie Kelila who has started this semester. TONY LEE Shiprock, New Mexico, was a grad uate of the five year program in 1960. From Chemawa he went to the Tacoma Vocational - Technical Institute for a two year course in painting. In 1964, Mr. Lee entered an ap prenticeship contest, where his wall paper panels won first place in the State of Washington and placed second in the National Competi tion. THE GREAT LAND Oh March 3, 1965, Mr. Bruce B. Boswell, from the Department of Education, State of Alaska, pre sented a film on the Alaskan earthquake. It was an extremely interesting film for students and staff alike. None of us would have been able to imagine the great damage and destruction of property which has taken place in this sudden disaster. James F. Yazzie checks out a library book from Rena Davis, while librarian, Mrs. Simonton looks on.
