■■■■ Make A N ew Friend This Summer We occasionally get letters from people living in other areas who would like a Pen Pal. With a long, lazy summer coming on, this seems like the perfect time to pass a few along to you. Route 3, Box 88-B Clinton, N.C. 28328 May 10,1976 Dear Sir, I’m writing to your school for some pen pals. W e’re studying Indians now in Ethnic Literature and I figured that maybe if I got to know some Indians now that, that would be interesting to talk on. I’m in the 12th grade and I attend Hobbton High School. I like all sports, sewing, horseback riding, motorcycle riding, cooking, meeting new people, swimming, reading, writing and alot of other things. I have dark brownish black hair that is medium length, brown eyes, 5’5” and weigh 130. I like any kind of music. I’m 17 years old, but would love to hear from different ages, and both sex(es) male and female. I like to write poems and I’m in different clubs at school. To name a few they are: Future Homemakers of America, Future Teachers of America, Photographer of Journal ism class, Pep Club, Lab Assistant, Chorus, 4-H, and Beta Club. I will write anyone that writes to me. And if they care to enclose any information that can teach us more about the Indian people. Please write soon! Thank you! Yours truly, Margaret Jones P.S. When the pen pals write please include a picture. . . Dear Chemawa Indian School, I would very much like to have a 9th grade girl as my pen-pal. I am also in the 9th grade. I am an artist and I have been drawing and painting Indians for nearly 2 years. I also read and study about them. I think Indians are beautiful. Take care now. Please have her write to me as soon as you can. Thank you very very much. My address is: Joe Modine, 24 Grove Road, North Haven, Conn. 06473 Sincerely, Joe Modine Honefoss: 30/4-76 Hello!
