THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN CARNIVAL DEEMED GREAT SUCCESS “Come one, come all” , was the cry at the All-School Carnival, held in the gym on Sunday after noon, October 26. Students purchased tickets at the door and then used them at the various booths set up by classes, dorms, and organizations on cam pus. Students had a chance to try their hand on the trampoline at one of the booths, and at another, they threw balls at a tin can and if they were good and hit the can, a Che- mawa student was dunked in a barrel of water. The Freshman class sponsored a dart throwing booth where students tried to hit the picture of George Washington on a dollar bill. If they were lucky enough to hit it, they won the dollar. Inter-dorm council had a cake walk, which was very popu lar with the hungrier students at the Carnival. These were just a few of the 19 booths set up to provide challenge, fun, and excite ment for Chemawa students and staff. Besides providing money for the booth sponsors, it made an otherwise uneventful Sunday after noon a day to be remembered by all who attended. 3 CHEMA WA CHA TTER WINONA HAS SLUMBER PARTY S tu d e n t Assem blies H eld Girls of Winona Hall arose blurry-eyed and very sleepy Sun day morning, November 2, after During the afternoon of October their slumber party held the night 28, classes were shortened so before.
