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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
