School Spirit Has
Varied Meanings
We at Chemawa are lucky to be
offered such a wide variety of ac
tivities for our enjoyment. 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.

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?

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.
CHEMAWA LOVE SONG
Chemawa you dear eld school we
love,
Your beautiful trees and green,
green lawn
The lovely, blue sky high above
The stillness on the campus in the

The gentle breeze making the

In our memories you will stay.
The times that we have spent here.

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.

Will in our memories remain so
dear.
