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.

Mighty Seniors Make Plans
THE GREAT CLASS OF 74
This is a great year for the Seniors.
They are all anxiously waiting for one
special date. Which one? 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)
