April i s Education Month and
here a t Chemawa the many and
v a rie d e d u c a tio n a l e x p e r i
ences ta k in g p la c e b o th on
and o ff the campus are occu
pying a good sh a re o f each
student* s day.
I n i t s b r o a d e s t m eaning,
education i s a p ro ce ss th a t
begins when we are born and
c o n tin u e s th ro u g h o u t l i f e .
However, to our young people
in h ig h s c h o o l, e d u c a tio n
must have a s p e c ia l and more
personal meaning i f i t i s to
serve than in l a t e r years.
At Chemawa, we work to pro
v id e f o r each s tu d e n t th e
w idest p o s s ib le e x p e rie n c e
in general education as well
as the o p p o rtu n ity fo r p e r
s o n a l knowledge t h a t th e s e
s tu d e n ts w ill soon go fo rth
in to a world where each must
fu n c tio n as an in d iv id u a l;
where each must evaluate and
decide h is course o f actio n ;
where each must have regard
n o t only fo r h is o r h er own
proglem s, b ut a ls o fo r th e
problem s o f o th e r s ; and f i
n a l l y , where each m ust be
w illin g to a c c e p t -responsi
b i l i t y fo r th e consequences
o f b i s actions, i f indiv id u al
freedom i s to have re a l mean
ing fo r a l l .
T his has been a good y ear
a t Chemawa. With stro n g s tu
d e n t le a d e r s h ip , a c a p ab le
and d e d ic a te d s t a f f , and a
s tu d e n t body which c o n tin u
a l l y s t r i v e s to widen i t s
educational horizons, we look
fo rw ard to many more such
y ears.
