Sally Ann Matfay Students Elect King and Queen LABOR DAY FULL OF FUN The Labor Day weekend was full of fun ahd excitement for the stu dents of Chemawa. Nearly all 900 students went to Oregon’s annual state fair at Salem. At the fair it was plain to see the students were having a good time. Some were looking over the exhibits, watching the horse shows, and the talent show. Others were trying their luck throwing darts, pitching dimes on rings for many different prizes. There seems to be the most excitement at the ferris wheel, roller coaster, and other breathtaking rides. For the students who went to the fair for the first time it was quite, ah experience. Julia Olanna MY SUMMER VACATION I Spend my summer vacation in Lake Oswego which is about five miles from Portland, j In Oswego there are lots of things to see, and many different places to go when I didn’t have anything to do. Oswego is a small town, but it’s a good place to spend your vacation. On the Fourth of July, they have a pancake feast, and at night they have firecrackers. The people in Oswego are very nice, especially when you are an In dian, because they don’t see many Indians in that place. Some of them have never seen an Indian in their life. Lennie Halkini NUMBER 1 Homecoming King Tom Kotone and Queen Sharon Kelley congratulate each other on victory. Indian Club To Preserve Old Ways The Indian Club preserves many old wàys. It also helps the students understand different traditions and practices of their ancestral cul tures. I Meetings will begin the first Sun day in October, with Mr. John Hip pie, guidance, acting as sponsor. The learning of dances for the annual Spring Pageant will be one of the main activities? 1 First the Navahos will practice, next will be the Alaskans to prac tice, then there will be a combina tion of both groups practicing. It is hoped that the group will be able to get new costumes and add some new dance routines for this years pageant. When interviewed, Mr. Hippie stated “The olct ways should not be forgotten.^ 1 Martha Mishakoff Pleasant w e a t h e r , beautiful floats, smartly dressed marching units, and an enthusiastic crowd of students blended together to give Chemawa an action packed; fun filled homecoming. Festivities began with the tra ditional campus cleanup on Thurs day afternoon, October 7. Every nook and cranny of the campus was searched for bits of paper or other burnable substances which could serve as fuel for the huge bonfire. When the campus had been Scoured clean and darkness de scended, the traditional rally fire was touched off. The student body enjoyed an hour and a half of song and cheers led by their active cheer leaders. The only interrup tions, the occasional flashes of bulbs as some loyal student at tempted to capture the happy oc casion for posterity. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the winners for the king and queen contest and their subsequent crowning. Sharon Kelly, a lovelv soohomore princess was the lucky winner and will reign as Chemawa’s 1965-66 Home coming Queen. Sharon, whose home is Hydaburg, Alaska, will share the honors with her elected escort, Tom Katone, a student from Flagstaff, Arizona. Friday morning saw much fren zied activity, with last minute dec orations being applied to build ings and floats. At 11 o’clock the serpentine of colorful floats, sihart- ly dressed marching units, and beautifully costumed individuals wound its way around campus" and past the judges’ stand. In their homecoming game with Salem Academy, the Braves were downed 27 to 8. Halftime saw the Braves with an 8 to 7 lead, but during the second half the oppon ents began to get the range on the long pass and the Braves were never able to get their offense in gear. The Homecoming Dance Friday evening concluded the activities. The newly elected king and queen led the royal court in the opening dance and the students eagerly followed onto the floor.
