Students Experience
Apt. Living Under 8910
Apartment living at Metro Ma
nor was a real thrill as well as
an exciting educational experience.
Nancy Yazzie, Grace One,. Alice
Johnson, and myself, Gladys Wells,
had the privilege of living in
three bedroom apartment for two
weeks. We were given a specified
amount of money from which we
had to pay all of our living ex
penses. Nancy Yazzie was our fi
nance manager and she had to bud
get our money so that we had
enough to take care of our
bills, pay for our groceries, save
enough cash to pay our cab fare
and operate the coin laundry.
Sometimes if we overspent we had
to do without something else.
Our apartment was beautiful
with colored appliances, tile bath
room, wall to wall carpeting, and
television.
Sometimes it was hard to get
up in the morning and catch a
cab in T order- to get to class oil
time. However, it was wonderful
to lounge around till noon on Sat
urdays or stay up late on Friday
evening to watch television.
Because of this adventure, we
will not be afraid to go into
a large city and live in an apart
ment house.

THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
Chemawa Store Holds Interesting History
Seventy-year old store building serves
its purpose well as Annie Mann, Donna
Begay, and Darlene Wongittiiin purchase
some goodies from Julie Olanna.
LONLINESS NO PROBLEM
Chemawa students should not
have time to become lonely, if they
take advantage of all the things
there are for them to do and
enjoy.
Most week-ends have movies and
at sometime a dance, Saturdays are
an opportunity for most students
to either work in town, go to town
shopping, or get caught up on their
laundry and studies.
Sunday is church day and there
is an occasion for every student
to attend the services they prefer.
Sunday afternoons are times when
friends or relatives, who are in the
area, come by campus for a visit
and share news about friends and
relatives at home.
{ Who has time to get homesick
or lonesome?
By Paul Jackson
W hether, it is a tube of tooth
paste, a roll of film for the camera,
or just a cold drink, a trip to Che
mawa Store holds promise of ful
fillment.
The store which has been a focal
point for social life as well as per
sonal needs has remained in its
Same location on the south end
of the campus since 1905.
The . front portion of the build
ing houses the local post office
as well as the main part of the
store, and is the remains of the
old train depot, which is reported
to be almost 70 years old-
Mrs. Robert G. Henderson, wid
ow of the first owner, still re
sides in Salem, and in a telephone
conversation gave several interest
ing sidelights concerning the his
tory of the place. '
Originally the post office was
called a mail kick. This name was
attached because the early morning
train used to kick the mail bags
off as it went by. Occasionally the
bags would split and scatter mail
for a quarter of a mile down the
tracks. When this happened there
was a call for all students to turn
out and collect the mail.
Biology students cut up frogs to learn
about the internal functions of the hu
man body.
SPRING TESTING OVER
M r. and Mrs. Lee L. Begay cut the
wedding cake at Winona Hall reception.
Every spring , students have the
feeling that their brains are being
picked, as a result of the Metropoli
tan and California testing sessions.
Students grumble a lot, but most
of us are really glad to have the
opportunity of finding out how well
we rate with other students our
own age and grade.
