4 Girls Compare Chemawa and Sherman Echo BigSpring, Mary Jane Louie and Zoya Melivodov, all from McBride Hall, went on a four-day trip with Mrs. Pentecost to Sherman Indian School in Riverside, California. The three girls went to Sherman to see how they run their school, to see how it is different from Chemawa and to compare and bring back new ideas. While Mrs. Pentecost went to meet ings, the girls went on a tour of the school. They stayed in the honor dorm which is co-ed, and went to regular classes. When one of the girls was asked how she thought Sherman was different from Chemawa, her reply was, “ Their academic courses are just about the same as ours. Their campus seemed to be cleaner. The students down there seem to put forth a lot of effort for things they wanted or would like to have.” “ I also feel their dorm rules were not as strict as ours. They have a lot of freedom. They are not told when to go to bed or when to shut off their lights. But it’s their responsi bility to get up for their detail and get to their classes on time.” The girls added that the kids at Sherman are friendly and polite. “ I had a really wonderful time,” one said, “ but it still was really good to get back to Chemawa.” CHEM AW A AM ERICAN Volume 68 Number 5 S c o u ts A id Chemawa, Oregon 97306 March 23, 1972 S h e r iff Five Chemawa students helped the Marion County Sheriff’s Office after a fatal plane crash occurred during 5th Period March 14th about two hundred yards west of the Chemawa campus.
