had to have sponsors sign her appli
cation,

ing as her talent. There was also a
physical fitness demonstration and
questions from the master of cere
monies and a judges’ interview,

gate, school and her hobbies.

pageant, with Angie being the only
one from Chemawa, The other nine
were from McNary High,

Chemawa Doctor Claims
Dr, Robert Beasley, 27, the new
doctor for Chemawa’s clinic, now
takes care of minor medical problems
for Chemawa’s students.
Dr.Beasley said the most common
medical problems he deals with
here are colds, infections, and mus
cular and bone complaints, plus a
great many athletic injuries. So
far all Dr. Beasley has seen at our
clinic are daily health problems.
Dr. Robert Beasley and an under
nourished friend pose for Roy Aishanna.
“ This is what happens to people who
never get to the dining hall on tim e,’ ’
Beasley said.
He said the people here are young
and healthy with no serious medical
problems.
The work here for Dr. Beasley is
a change from the job he had before.
He said it was not as challenging
in that there are no chronically ill
or dying patients. Instead of work
ing late into the nights, Dr. Beasley
has pretty much an 8 to 5 job here.
The doctor mentioned that the
only real improvement he would like
to see in the clinic would be better
X-ray facilities.
Dr. Beasley is new to the North
west. He has lived in Oklahoma
City and has never been up this way.
He wanted to get out of Oklahoma
because he wanted a change of
scenery. He asked for an opening
in New Mexico, but couldn’t get
one. Instead he was told there was
an opening in Oregon at a boarding
school named Chemawa.
Dr. Beasley apparently accepted
the opening, because he now works
here at Chemawa. He had never
been in Oregon before and had little
information on it before coming.
Dr. Beasley isn’t sure if he wants
to specialize in anything yet.
His attitude toward Oregon is
pretty acceptable. He has noticed,
he said, the availability of land,
the mountains, the ocean and the
agriculture. He also mentioned that
the people are pleasant.

G rie s t Picked
Janet Griest, a junior from Ambler,
Alaska, was named as Chemawa’s
Student of the Month for November
by the Optimist Club of Salem. This
is a new award, and Janet is the
first Chemawa student to be named
for it.
Every high school in Marion
County picks a student for this
award, which is based on extra
curricular or non-school service to
the community. They are honored
with a certificate and a banquet by
the Optimist Club.
“ This award gives recognition to
students who are really working and
serving their community, but who
don’t get the special recognition
that the student body president or
the star halfback normally gets,”
said Chemawa Activities Director
Marion Marshall.
Marshall added that a committee
will be set up to consider nominees
for future awards. Any Chemawa
boy or girl in grades 9-12 is eligi
ble.
