The Great Pumpkin came out of the patch and paid a visit to the dance. The pump kin was greatly admired. The supervisors of the ag club are Mr. Morrow and Mr. Bunsen. The of ficers are, Lincoln Enoch, president; Luke Edwards, vice president; Olga Nick, secretary; John Henry, treasurer and Phillip Taylor, representative. The ag club consists of about 30 members right now. They have plans for a calf project so that students can raise calves and sell them at the end of the year. They also plan to raise game birds. Six volunteer students will work with the calf project, two of them raising each of the three calves which have now arrived and are located in the barn beside the Art Center. When spring comes the student volunteers will sell their calves and will be al lowed to keep the profits for their own use. The project is designed to show students the value' of raising animals as well as the experience of caring for them. R e o r g a n iz e s The N.I.C.E. is growing rapidly. Fifty students were present at its last meeting—41 regular members. The group meets regularly on Tuesday at 6:30 in the McBride rumpus room. All students are invited to attend; At the last meeting we adopted a con stitution, bylaws and code of ethics which we drew up ourselves. Lindsey Howtopat and Robert Tomaskin represented Chemawa and N.I.C.E. at a conference in Mt. Edge- cumbe, Alaska. We were proud to have them representing us. Because of the reorganization this year, it was decided to have one advisor and several assistant advis ors to help our different committees. Mrs. Grape was elected as advisor. Mr. Kihega, Mr. Logan and Mr. Seaton of Brewer Hall have offered to help, as have Mr. Wassillie of Mitchell, Mrs. Shepard of McBride and Mrs. Goulden and Miss Phair of Winona. Mr. David will help the art club. We hope that by dividing our club into committees we can offer more activities for student enjoyment. We nave formed committees so far for war dancing, singing and drumming, leathercrafts and carving. Students interested in joining one or more com mittees may sign up with the officers, committee chairmen or with Mrs. Grape. Interested staff members also contact the officers or Mrs. Grape.
