The majority of the student body is al ways eager to attend almost every program, ball game, movie, or as sembly. We should be proud of the fine spirit that is shown by most stu dents at these programs. I have never been to a school where I have seen any finer attitude. We speak of school spirit at the ball games, but it goes even fur ther than that. It refers to the^po- lite manner in which we listen to guest speakers, how we give at tention to our manners in the din- inv hall, how well we dress and look when we leave the campus, and how we talk to strangers and to each other. We have a wonderful heritage here at Chemewa, and we want to do our part to keep it just as per fect in the eyes of our teachers and our friends as it has always been. When we go home this summer let’s all plan to show the peonle at home what we are really like by continuing the same spirit that we show here. Jim Lewis Jr. The Metropolitan Testing More knowledge was again drained from each and every stu dent presently attending Chemawa on March 31, 1966. An all day test was the Thursday gift to the stu dents. This was another Metropolitan test which is given annually here at Chemawa. These tests require an answer sheet which was sent in by mail to be mechanically scored. Though the test was long and a little confusing, some students claimed it being fun. This test was work, too, that we all know. Re sides, what’s a little work now and then? Joyce Quiianee Students Attend Summer School Health Center Busy Place Chemawa Health Center manages to keep busy whether students are sick or well. Between sick calls the staff is busy taking care of records, making plans for the fu ture, and thinking up ways of im proving the services. The staff will prepare individual immunization records for all stu dents that will not be returning to Chemawa. The students should let the staff know if they want their records. The clinic plans for the X-ray unit from Oregon State Board of Health to be at Chemewa Septem ber 15 and 16, 1966, for small films and October 6 and 7 for large chest X-rays. Always Drive Defensively Defensive driving means that we tvould rather be alive and safe, than win an argument with an other vehicle and be dead right. Mr. Burright, our driver train ing instructor, emphasizes defen sive driving as the only safe way to drive. This means that we have to do more than know the rules of the road: We have to watch out for the other driver and be pre pared to act if a dangerous situa tion should arise, or if the other driver is careless or doesn’t know the rules. We have about 45 hours of class room instruction where we learn the rules of driving and how to spot road hazards. After our class room instruction, we take the writ ten test. If we pass the written test we are ready for our lessons behind the wheel. Always watch out for the other fellow is the first thing we learn when we start driving behind the wheel.

The times that we have spent here. With friends and teachers and hard Improvement of basic academic skills and an appreciation for hon est labor are being taught to the 49 students who have been select ed to remain at Chemawa for this year’s summer program.

' | Physical education is required of all students this summer and the emphasis is upon good wholesome outdoor recreation and body build ing exercise. I I The summer session started on May 16, and will last for 10 weeks. Some of the students will have an opportunity to go home for a few days at the end of summer school before the resumption of regular classes next fall. Units 1 and 2 Travel To Bachelor Lodge Winona Hall units 1 and 2 spent a day at Bachelor Butte Lodge on Sunday, March 27. The group left campus at 7:30 a.m. and re turned at 9:00 p.m. Originally the trip was planned for skyline, but unexpected instances took place so our plans were changed. But that didn’t stop us. We went ahead and visited Bachelor Butte Lodge and watched the skiers. We drove a few miles from the ski lodge so we could play in the snow. Inner tubes from auto and truck tires were provided so we could slide down the huge hills. Alaskan and Navaio alike had a wonderful time in the snow. After all the fun, we went to a park to eat our lunch. We roasted marshmallows and wieners and ate other delicious snacks. Then we headed back to Chemawa after a long journey and a fun-filled time.
