Midnight Hike taken by Cheerleaders By Teresa Jacobsson What turned out to be a well- played game for the Chemawa football team turned out to be a major disaster for the varsity cheerleaders on September 16.

Tony said he will n o t go out for mascot next year unless there are more boys ou t for it, too. ride back started out nice, but unfortunately the van witnessed a major wreck. The young teens in the car had been drinking. With only fifty more miles to go the girls stopped off at a rest area. After traveling only yards away from the stop, the driver of the van gave the girls the news that they had run out of gas. The van driver flagged down a truck and with two of the .girls went for help. Eddie Mike The rest of the girls sat in the van for about fifteen minutes and finally decided to flag down a car. Finally, a traveling bus slowed down and offered them a ride. After a twenty minute bus ride the Chemawa cheerleaders, with their assistant advisor, Bernice DePoe, took a brisk walk through the trails and arrived "safely" to the comforts of the campus at a weary 4:00 a.m. New A.D.

He hopes that through the concern and support of teachers more students will eventually come to Chemawa. He added that he will try and be available for any student that may need to talk to him, for any reason. His personal goals for the year include making sure all students have the opportunity to be in any sport and to achieve their maxi mum ability. Chemawa’s A.D. predicts that not only will this school year bring new and exciting accom plishments from students and staff, but that our cross country and basketball teams will go to state. His future plans are to “ Stay liere at Chemawa until the end where this school will have to ilose.” skating Favorite Activity By Veronica Viera Out of a list of 45 possible ac tivities students ranked roller skating as their favorite recre ational activity. An interest sur vey was taken during registra tion to find what Chemawa students liked to do for fun. Horseback riding took a close second place with its 105 votes as an event students would like to participate in on a regular basis. Seeing extra movies, attending more dances, and playing a wider variety of video games cap tured third, fourth and fifth places respectively. Taking the final places of inter est were concerts off campus, concerts on campus, going to the beach, making money from jobs off campus, and participating in a rodeo club. These suggestions will be turned into recreation. Students who would like to pursue these ideas may also con tact their student council repre sentatives.
