VISITS C H EM A W A
Students Work Hard for Honors
Winona Hall girls were thrilled
to have a movie star visit their
dorm Sunday morning, January 16.
Vincent Price, movie star, art
critic, and famed collector of In
dian art stopped by Chemawa on
his Way to Portland Airport. He
had been in Salem in connection
with the Sears’ Art Display.
While on campus Mr. Price had
an opportunity to view some of
the students’ drawings and enjoy
some refreshments With the girls.
A lot of the girls got to shake
hands with him and some were
lucky enough to get his autograph.
A few even had their picture taken
with him.
Some of our students exhibited
their talent by putting on a brief
bit of entertainment.
He was unable to stay more than
and hour because he had to catch
a plane in order to be in New York
City the same afternoon.
Mr. Price is the owner of one of
the world’s finest collections of
Native Indian Art.

NEW COOK— FORMER STUDENT
Joseph Bruno, a Chemawa stu
dent changed his status from a stu
dent to a full time employee as a
beginning or learner cook. Joseph
looks mighty sharp in his white
cooks uniform. We sometime have
to stop ourselves from reminding
him to change his clean white
clothes before he gets them dirty
in the welding shop. Good luck Joe
in your new vocation.
