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.
