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.
The four hour trip to Madras
High School began with a close
call head-on with a careless
driver.
After the Madras football
game was over the Rally Squad
was treated to pizza by Mr. Hen-
selman. The beginning of the

When asked why he liked be

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.
Chemawa’s new Athletic Di
rector for 83-84 is Mr. Edward
Andrew Mike, Shoshone.
Born in Lone Pine, CA, Mr.
Mike stayed in sunny California
where he received both his
undergraduate and graduate de
grees from UCLA.
During this time Mike met his
wife, Theresa, a Winnebago
from Nebraska.
One of Mr. Mike’s first teach
ing jobs was at Sherman High
School in Riverside, CA. He also
taught at Big Pine, CA, wher he
was also athletic director. He
then moved on to Stewart Indian
High School in Stewart, Nevada
where he became their Athletic
Director for about ten years.
With the closing of Stewart in
1981, Mike, Theresa, and their
seven children moved here to
Salem. Last year Mike was a
home-living specialist in the
dorms.
Some of Mr. Mike’s hobbies
include fishing and Indian danc
ing (both traidtional and fancy).

dents become excellent athletes,
sportsmen attd students as his
main concerns and responsibili
ties. 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.”

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.
