6 Chemawa American Fishers Trip The commercial fishing classes went on a field trip to the Eagle Creek National Fish Hatchery on October 15. The Hatchery is located east of Estacada. The students watched fish come up the fish ladders up into the hold ing pens, watched the eggtaking process, fertilization of eggs, incu bation process, and the guide talked on the cycle of different species of salmon. The class was given some fish for smoking. The fish was given to the students.

You guessed it--graduation! Hopefully, there will be 126 seniors graduating in the Class of ’74. Where do they all come from? There are 74 seniors from Alaska, 40 from Washington, 7 from Oregon, 4 from Idaho, and last but not least, one from California. How do you like them apples? Some of the Seniors were asked what their future plans are. Here is what they said. Marlene Moses from Snoqualmie, Washington said “ I am planning on attending Washington State University in Pullman, Wash ington. But my greatest ambition is to travel around the U.S.” Mary Solomon from Bellingham, said, ” 1 am going to Western Wash ington State College.” Bertha Yeltatzie from Hydaburg, Alaska, said, “ I’m gonna go to bus iness college somewhere, most likely in Portland.” Sandra Thomas from Warm Springs, Oregon, said, “ I might go into A.V.T. or maybe go to college.” Andrew Skinn from Selawik,Alaska said, “ I am going into AVT (advan ced Vocational Training).” Melissa Tulee from Wellpinit, Washington said, “ I am going to go to junior college somewhere.” Frank Nicoli from Ekwok, Alaska, said, “ I am going into AVT.” We wish all the seniors good luck in whatever they plan to do after they leave “ Good Ole Chemawa.” W hat's C a llig ra p h y ? Calligraphy is a class for fancy handwriting.lt is taught by Mr.Loyal Smith. The calligraphy class is taught in the shops buildings. The course was first offered last year during Christmas as a mini-course and was taught by Mrs. Papenfus. Student interest was high enough to make it a regular course. Mr. Smith has been studying c a l ligraphy on and off for a few years. He said that a few students are doing fairly well in the class. He added that some students can learn how to do calligraphy very easily, but for others it is not that easy. There are now more boys in the class than girls, Smith said, and he added that students did not have to have special equipment to do c a l ligraphy. Club Helps Trucker A stranded truck driver was given a helping hand by our Chemawa Amateur Radio Club. Robert Eckman had a truck stranded on a beach near Yukatat, Alaska. Mr. Eckman tried contacting Anchorage by radio, but couldn’t get through. So he tried to get anyone who would pick up the call. Mr. Donald Varnum, the Club sponsor contacted the Anchorage Civil Defense Director and made arrangements for a bush pilot to deliver the needed parts to rescue the stranded truck. Ouch! Foster Kalama doesn’ t like the Idea of the t.b . skin test very much, but he and every other Chemawa student received one. (Photo by Roy Ai shanna)
