THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
HOME EC STYLE SHOW
Marlene Fred, Edith Deacon, and
Evalyn McLaughlin model evening
dresses that they made as a part
of the Make and Model Style Show
that was sponsored by the home
economics department. Some of
the girls finished their projects
early and as an extra attraction,
made childrens’ clothes, which
were modeled by some of the staff
children.
SENIOR CLASS GIFT
As a parting tribute to the
memory of Ohemawa, the Class of
’67 installed wall to wall carpeting
in the school library. There is
also an engraved plaque which
will be hung in the library telling
of the gift.
PROMISES OF SPRING
“Promises of spring” seems to
have been a very appropriate
theme for the Junior Senior Prom,
Which was held May 5, 1967 in
Chemawa’s Gym.
The formal dance was the first
in a series of activities organized
in honor of the senior class.
Decorations consisted of a large
number of paper vines covered
with artificial leaves" and pastel
colored paper blooms, which were
hüng from the ceiling in large
clusters. Additional beauty was
gained by shining rotating colored
spot lights on the clusters. .
The refreshment room was de
corated with paper lanterns and
bright balloons.
Music was furnished by our own
“Meteors,” and everyone was hav
ing such a good time that Mr.
Walters allowed the dance to con
tinue a half hour longer than
scheduled.
Title I 89-10 Activities
Sophomores to Ice Follies
Visit to California
An exciting evening at the Ice
Follies was enjoyed by 295 fresh-
men,,. s,ophomores, and juniors who
journeyed to Portland’s Memorial
Coliseum on May 12, 1967.
. The program was arranged by
the sophomore class sponsors as a
part of the cultural enrichment
program under 8940.
Tickets were purchased, but
when it was found that some soph
omores were unable to attend, ju
niors and freshmen were invited
to go along. Eight buses were need
ed to transport, all of the. students.
The show was one of the most
spectacular events of the year.
Damon Begay summed it up
very well when he said, “It’s one
of the most beautiful sights I have
ever seen.”
Thirty-six juniors and seniors
spent seven days in sunny Cali
fornia exploring the educational
and occupational opportunities of
the Oakland Bay area.
Leaving Chemawa on April 23,
1967, they traveled by charter bus
to San Jose, where they were
guests of the Employment Assist
ance Office, Bureau of Indian Af
fairs.
They were given an opportunity
to visit colleges and vocational
schools in the area in an effort
to acquaint them with some of
the possibilities for advanced study
after they have finished high
school,
Industries in the area were also
visited so that they might acquaint
themselves with the types of em
ployment they might be interested
in seeking.
Later in the week the group was
guests of the Oakland office where
they conducted a similar study.
It wasn’t all study and no play,
for the group had an opportunity
to attend the stage production of
“Carousel”', as it was presented at
Circle Star Theatre. They also
toured the famous Kaiser Building
and had a guided tour of San Fran
cisco.
During the tour the students
lived in hotels and ate in restau
rants as part of their training for
living in a large metropolitan area.

atsuka, Tom Nachin, and Madelyn
Reft reported that they had a won
derful trip and that they were im

were the auto mechanic shop,

education teacher, and Mr. Joe Co
burn, teacher guidance, accompan
ied the group and stated that the
trip has given them help in advis
ing students.
The trip was part of the 8940
title I program.
HOMEWARD BOUND
It still takes a lot or organizing
and scheduling to get all 850 of us
on the right bus and headed in the
right direction. The students that
go to the Southwest leave on Wed
nesday evening and all of them
will be home by Friday morning.
However, some of the Alaskans
will leave on Thursday afternoon
and still arrive home before the
Navajo students will.
KITCHEN SERVES BARBECUE
It is no longer a surprise when
Mr. Douglas performs the sensa
tional at the dining hall. This year
he and his capable staff added
their little touch of festivities to
the end of the term by serving a
superb barbecue for the students
and staff.
