Joe's Indian Dances
by Joe Nomee
Some people think it’s hard to learn
to do a war dance, but it’s just as
easy as learning now to drive a car.
First, you have to get a friend who
knows how to drum to help you out, or
you get a record. You listen to the
first part of the song or the beat, then
you try to make your feet keep time
with it.
After you get used to that, you can
start trying to get a little better every
time you dance, until you think you’re
as good as you are going to get.
Then you can start dancing in con
tests to see how well you can do in
competition or to see if you can win
any prizes. Before you start dancing
in different places for prizes, you
should make yourself a costume.
I’ve found that there are different
kinds of contests that people can enter
wherever they go. Here are some that
I have seen, but there are probably
more. There is the war,dance, the
man and woman’s owl dance, man and
woman’s rabbit dance and woman’s war
dance.
There i§ also one dance that only
the men do. This is the supper dance,
and the women don’t take part in it.
What's Cooking
In Baking Class ?
Baking classes for interested stu
dents are held every Monday and Tues
day night from seven to nine in the
dining hall. The student volunteers
make 800 donuts a night. They learn
baking skills and provide the dorms
with a snack at the same time.
Since most of the volunteers are
girls from Winona, Winona has received
most of the donuts, according to Food
Supervisor Mr. Douglas. Any inter
ested student may participate.
In one night of donut-making the
students go through 30 pounds of
flour, a gallon of evaporated milk, 3'/2
pounds of shortening, 3 pounds of
sugar and 24 ounces of yeast. The
icing iequires 25 pounds of powdered
sugar and almost 20 pints of milk.
The donut-making process takes 90
minute's from start to finish.
The purpose of the program is to
give students an activity to become
involved in, to develop better work
habits, and to introduce them to a new
career that they might like to follow.

During our Student Council meetings
we talk over such things as money,
student problems, and things which
would be important to you and us. So
if ever you think the Student Council
is not doing its job, 'think again. The
entire Student Council of Chemawa
ras a very big responsibility.
The Student Council consists of the
President, Vice-President, Secretary
and Treasurer.
Other members are
from the dorms and other organizations
such as projectionists, rally squad,
lettermen’s club, annual committee,
loan committee, boys patrol, rec. club,
Ag. club, and the Freshman, Sopho
more, Junior and Senior classes.
We discuss such things as how the
dorms are being run and the problems
of the students in the dorms and at
activities. The President conducts
the meeting. The Secretary reads the
minutes of the previous meeting. Mi
nutes are like a rundown of what went
on at the last meeting. Then we have
the Treasurer’s report, in which he
tells us what we have left in the
Associated Students Funds. Then he
puts into a motion checks which must
be paid out to people and organiza
tions which need to be paid.
Then we listen to the organizations’
reports. After that we discuss the
dorm reports and class reports.
Following the reports we go into
old business, which must be discussed
in order to go on to any new business.
New business is then discussed to
make changes or suggestions on such
things which have been brought up at
the discussions. Here we talk about
getting things fixed or who we want
for an activity which is to be held on
campus. When new business is through
being discussed, we adjourn the meet
ing and tell when the next meeting is
to be held.
All this is in your favor in one way
or the other. When you’re in need of
help the Chemawa Student Council will
try to help if possible. So when the
Student Council asks to be backed up
by the student body, you be there to
lend a hand, because all they repre
sent is you! So, in order to help you,
you first must help us, the entire Stu
dent Council, so that we are strong.
