Chemawa American 2 E d ito ria l S e c tio n Pages & Paqes Scribblers Nellie Macauly, a senior from Cignik Lagoon, Alaska, Sharon Watt, a junior from Colville, Washington and Michael George, a senior from Plummer, Idaho, are working as pages in the Oregon State Senate. They started working when the session began in January and intend to work until mid-May, or until the tax package is passed, which may not be until June or July. Their main responsibilities as pages are to deliver messages about the Senate Chamber and to gain knowledge and experience so tha*t they can profit from what was differ ent from their home, village or school experience. This is the third session that Chemawa students have worked as pages for the Oregon. Senate or House of Representatives. The Legislature meets every other year in the. State Capitol Building. Dur ing p a s t:years a number of Chemawa students have also worked as honor ary pages. “ My job. as a page is very inter esting,” Nellie Macauly said. “ I learned what they are doing and how they are helping the people. I also got to know the Senators and other members who work there.” What do students think? We know what a lot of students think, because we read it on the w alls, tables, and desks. Whv do students write on anything and everything? We don’t really know, but we think they want to let their feelings out. If that’s so, they should talk to someone and tell them what they think. Maybe it’s because they want to be remembered that they carve their names on buildings or desks. If they do that for that reason, they must be scared that they won’t be remem bered. The math lab has to be repainted every time the walls get covered with remarks and names. If this writing on the walls and ruining of desks and tables would stop, this school would- not have to put so much money into buying paint and new furniture. Did you ever see any matrons or aides carve their names in a window sill or spray-paint their name on the side of a building? Of course not! They are all pretty much mature.Peo ple will remember these people years from now just for what they are. If we don’t want to talk to anybody about what we think, we might write it on paper, then throw it away if we please. THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Member o f O regon S c h o la s tic P re s s , N .S .P .A .

Many of us complain about not having many places to go or not having many things to do. In stead of just complaining don’t you think it’s about time we did some thing about it? F irst of all, why not decide where you’d like to go or things you’d like to do then write about it and bring it to the staff. Tell the staff about places you’d like to see and things you’d like to do. L et’s see if we can get them to arrange for the act ivity. L et’s not just sit around and complain to a friend. L et’s do some thing about it!!! ■■ C a n d le lig h t D in n e rs H eld in M itc h e ll H a ll Caption th is cartoon & w in a fre e blue slip !
