2 E d ito ria S e c tio n in tr o d u c tio n We are the Chemawa American staff. We welcome you to Chemawa with this letter: Dear Fellow Schoolmates: We hope that you have had a very good start and we welcome the new and the old students to Chemawa for the school year 71-72. Our paper is for the students and will be put out by the students. The paper is for information and opinion on what is going on around campus. We hope to keep you always informed. Our paper does not want to let you down. So if you have any suggestions please let us know. To make this a good paper we hope to get all you want to hear about to make this school year the best in every way. This is an editorial page, on which will be expressed the opinions of the things going on around campus. If you want your opinion expressed, please write your “ Letter to the Edi tor” . We want to hear from you. So with this, and your thoughts in mind, the Chemawa American staff says to the students, “ L et’s make 71-72 happen!” Search & Rescue Chemawa’s Search and Rescue Ex plorer Post 123 meets every Wednes day night from 7:00 to 8:30. Various subjects are covered at each meeting. On October 9-10, Post 123, along with Post 18 of Marion County Search and Rescue, took to the field for their first training exercise. To qualify for the Search and Res cue team, a student must be in Ex plorer Post 123 and qualify through the Marion County Sheriff’s office. One weekend out of every month, Post 123 will be out in the field to practice what they learned during the Wednesday night meetings. Mr. Smith, the advisor, says, “ I think that search and rescue is one of the most important things that a stu dent or young boy could learn, becaus e we teach first aid, map and compass reading, wilderness and navigation. This could help you.” Mr. Smith is looking forward to hav ing 20 men this year. If any boy is interested, he should come to the next Search and Rescue meeting, held each Wednesday night. C hoir and Band Need M o r e People Mr. Kent Garlinghouse, Chemawa’s new music teacher, has 3 choirs in his department this year: Beginning Choir, A-Choir and Choral Ensemble. He hopes to work hard with all three choirs for programs and concerts this year. He is trying to build a choir pro gram for all the students who are interested in singing with his three different choirs. He noted that any one who likes to sing is welcome to try out. Mr. Garlinghouse is also looking for a rock band to go with the choir. He also needs a guitar and some rock instruments that can be played by a student who wants to learn or who knows how to play already. Mr. Garlinghouse also said that A- Choir and Choral Ensemble need boys who like to sing and will welcome as many boys to his choir as will try out. The Chemawa Band will play at the games and Pep rallies this year. Mr. Dennis Surmon, our band teacher, is spending the first few weeks work ing up numbers with the band. The band will be playing for our home games this fall and winter. Mr. Surmon has 3 different bands: Concert Band, Red Band and Begin ning Band. He added that he wished he had forty more students in the band. O ffset Printing M cB rid e Elects The girls had election of officers in McBride Hall for dorm council on September 19th.
