Old Trees
Removed
Some of the students and staff,
also other people that wrote to the
Chemawa American are wondering
why are the trees being cut down.
The reason why they are being cut
down is because they are to old to
stand. They are afraid one of the
trees might fall on one of the stu
dents walking around campus. Most
of the trees were hollow in the mid
dle. That’s why they’re being cut
down. So, I’m very sorry they had to
to be cut down.
I felt kind of bad myself, when
they cut the trees down.

Chemawa’s Title-I funded Com
puter Assisted Instruction (C.A.I.)
program in Basic Skills-Readi^e.
Language Arts and Math continues to
be popular and effective with stu
dents.
Bob Henselman, Title-I C.A.I.
Program Coordinator, reports that
more than 80% of the students taking
part in the C.A.I. project indicated
on a survey that they like to work on
the computer lessons.
According to Henselman, so far,
progress for all groups working on
the computer lessons is greater than
the expected .5 grade equivalent for
one semester of work. At this time,
grade equivalent gains of 2 or more
years in the C.A.I. curriculum mat
erials seem likely by the end of the
school year.
Henselman also said that the
C.A.I. program is trying to improve
services to students by requesting a
change to CRT (television; term
inals. The new terminals would not
make the noise of the present te le
type terminals that are used in the
C.A.I. program. It would also be
easier to read lesson materials from
the computer programs.

Changes
After Christmas vacation, most of
us who had classes in Academic 3
were wandering around lost.
Our
teachers were moved to different
classes because of the condition of
Academic 3.
When Academic 3 was built (about
60 yrs. ago)it was used for a grade
school.
It cost around $6000 to
build then.
Nowadays to have a
building built like that would cost
$100,000. Now the roof leaks and
the heat is hard to control.
Mr. Robinson’s Social Studies
classes were moved to Academic 7.
Mr. Klein’s Social Studies were
moved to Trailer 3 (west). Mr. Wit-
tman’s Careers was moved to Trailer
3 (east).
Miss Graham’s English classes
were moved from Room 1 to Room 11
. in Academic 1 to make room for
Mr. Robinson’s class.
Mr. Simmon’s math class was
moved from Crampton Hall to trailer 4
They plan on using his old class for
the Student Center next year.
Most of the staff and students
liked the move. They say that i t ’s
quieter. It puts you closer to your
other classes and there aren’t so
many tardies.
