Begay, and Raymond Black- goat pose for us at Fisherman's W harf, San Francisco. Trains Scare Me The train is an ordinary thing here at Chemawa, but d id ; you know it still scares me out of my dreams and sleep at night? I wake up startled thinking there’s an earthquake or that the world is ending. Waking up at night is a common thing for me nowadays. Dora Andrews Seniors! don’t give up yet, you still have five and a half months left before you walk down that aisle in your cap and gown. This would be a time when many of the Seniors might, get the feeling that just because we are Seniors we will graduate. This is not true. Next Spring you may just find yourself staring a blank piece of paper in the face when you should be look ing at a beautiful diploma. Let’s all get on the ball and show the underclassmen what the Sen ior? are really made of, and what we can really do when we put our best foot forward. Kathryn Almquist Some of the second year typing and business procedure students are getting a chance to learn their lessons by actual work day con ditions. Certain student are being selected from the business depart ment to work as student trainees in offices on campus. Trainees are now being used in the girls placement office, boys placement office, and the school bank. Most of the students enjoy work ing in these offices. Sometimes, when a mistake has been made the students that work in the bank have to work late to find their mis take and balance out the bank. Sally Ann Matfay Girls Get Prettier GIRLS' GUIDANCE PROGRAM Mr. Alden, a beautician from Portland, Oregon has, for the past three years, been coming to Chem- awa’s campus once a month. He re styles or cuts the girls hair for them if they desire. He also gives them many tips on how to care for their hair and how to take care of their skin and nails. Pauline Demmert Books Become More Popular As new books are added to the shelves of the library, Chemawa students increase their reading ap petites. With 200 new books being added to the shelves during the month of November, circulation climbed to 1308 separate items checked out. In December another 300 books Were placed on the shelves and the circulation increased to 1427, or ap proximately one and one-half books per month per pupil. Student librarians are a great help in handling the extra work in volved in the increased use and in the placing of new books on the shelves. After-Class M ail Rush The girls in Winona Hall are usu ally seen rushing back to the dorm to see if they have any mail. Some times they are the lucky ones and sometimes they aren’t. Betty Moto BUSINESS STUDENTS LEARNING BY DOING Auto Shop Notes Power mechanics has been a very interesting course this year. The past few months we have been learning about automobile engines. We have taken an engine com pletely apart and are now learn ing to put it back together prop erly. Some of the things we have learned are about refacing and grinding valves, cleaning pistons and installing new rings, adjust ing bearings and replacing inserts, and the care and use of the proper tools. When we have time we also learn about washing and polishing cars, greasing and servicing, and proper record keeping. We have also taken educational trips to such places as Eyerly Air craft where they manufacture car nival rides, Holt Manufacturing Company where they make heavy equipment and special machines for special jobs, Towmotor Com pany where special machines for carrying things were made. Steve Levi On October 24, 1965 the Winona girls of Units 7 and 8 sponsored the Sunday evening program. Alice Mandregan played several piano solos, the Barters sang two songs, and her group played a skit titled “Twenty Years From Now.” Rev. Stevens had an announce ment pertaining to the Sunday school program. Diana Shorty told of her inter esting trip to the Bay Area where the Seniors went to explore the op portunities available to them at junior colleges and in vocational training schools there. Special guest speaker was Mr. Tadlock, School Social Worker. He spoke to the girls about the im portance of health protection; At the close of the program we sang our school song, On Chemawa. Audrey Natkong Driver Training Is Fun Some of us are fortunate enough to be allowed to take driver train ing while at school. Each student takes a class in driving which gives him the rules and laws and general knowledge about operating a car. After he complete? this course and passes the exam to get his state permit, he is allowed to sit behind the w h e e l/- We start out by drivihg only on campus but as we improve our ih- structor, Mr. Burright, takes us on to the open road. We have opportunities to drive over to Keizer and sometimes out onto the freeway. If we do a good job and are able to pass our state exam we can get an Oregon drivers license. Victor E. Lekanof
