Four Students Ride with Sheriff Four students from the model class, Rita George, Ned Griest, Frances Pat rick and Fred Walker, went on a field trip to Silverton in a patrol car with Corporal Thomas of the Marion County Sheriff’s Patrol on March 27. The purpose of the field trip was to give the students an idea of what the duties of a patrolman are and also to see what it is like to go on a patrol. “ It was fun,” said Frances Patrick, describing the trip. “ It was exciting, and I wouldn’t mind being a patrolman because it seems to be very interest ing.” C h o ir P r e p a r e s C o n c e rt fo r The Choral Ensamble and A Choir are busily getting ready for and put ting the final touches to the music they will be singing for the Spring Concert May 5 and the Senior Ban quet May 20. Only the Choral Ensamble will sing for the banquet. They will perform eight songs: “ Exodus,” “ The Sound of Silence,” “ Everything Is Beauti ful.” “ We’ve Only Just Begun,” “ Scarborough F air,” “ Close to You,” and “ Georgy Girl.” Both choirs and the band will per- torm for the entire student body at the Spring Concert. If the weather is good, the concert will be held out doors on the main quad. In case of bad weather, the groups will move to the Auditorium. The Ensamble will again be singing eight songs. Each member of the Ensamble is also learning how to conduct the others in a song. This trip is one of many projects the model class has been working on. They have been taking field trips in the Portland, Salem and Eugene areas. Ths.model class so far has studied units in air pollution, drugs and aico- hol, juvenile deliquency and marriage and family. They have also held “ mini c lasses” in subjects ranging from philosophies to “ how to buy a used car” , note taking and research papers. They have also found time to study guitar playing.

Winona Tries New Ideas Winona Hall, the biggest dorm at Chemawa, has been trying out new ideas for recreation and dorm life. The dorm this year has a population of 170 girls with two to six girls in a room. The staff consists of 12 aides. The aides make the girls feel more at home by giving them someone to talk to when they get lonesome. Each aide has a unit of 16 to 20 girls. The aides were asked how they liked working with the girls. Miss Francine Phair said, “ I really en joyed working with the girls, and it was a great experience.” Mrs. Linda Goulden added, “ I liked working with my girls and the staff.” The Instructional Aide and Supervi sor for the dorm is Mrs. Lorene Phil lips. The counselors are Mrs. Myrna McMurtry and Mrs. Martha Hutchins. Miss Arlene Colon is the Dormitory Manager, The Winona Hall Dorm Council con sists of Jean Morris, President; Loret ta Samuels, Secretary; Karen Pinkham, Treasurer; Sarah George, Representa tive. Throughout the year the different individual units have taken trips to many places. Ka-nee-ta, in Warm Springs, the Portland Zoo, bowling and movies in Salem, mountain trips and hii and hikes. They have had slumber parties in the dorm and are learning handcrafts also. The girls with the best-looking room get treated to a steak dinner off campus. The different units will be taking more trips and planning more parties before the year ends. Some of them will go to the Ice Follies in Portland or on a hike to Silver Creek Falls near Silverton. They also plan over night camping trips, and date parties on the patio of Winona. The whole dorm will be going to the beach on May 4. Mrs. Phillips says, “ The students and staff are looking forward to an even better appearance and life in Winona Hall before the year is over.”
