PUBLICATION CLASS At exactly 7:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, dorm doors fly open and out pour students, basketballs, ghetto boxes, and hacky sacks just itching to get out and enjoy an evening on Che- : mawa’s campus. The court area and the recre ation center seem to be the most popular places for the students to spend their leisure time, with the gymnasium and CAEC coming m second. ,e Mike YellowRobe and Jennifer Timmons can usually be found in the rec center playing pool, and if you’ll focus your eyes over to the Cruising to tne courts, you’re bound to see our president, Monte Munyan, kicking a hacky sack and shooting for a new high score. Frequently Monte has to duck quickly to escape one of Lonnie James’ sometimes "not so great" football passes to Pat rick Billie. When Munyan for gets to duck he often intercepts these super bowl passes with his head. Looking down into the courts you’ll find Jackie Andrews and Arthur Smartlowit both playing with their own teams, snapping the ball into the hoop for another two points. Mike and Monte show us that to run Student Council you have to be a little “Off-the-Wall.”_______________________ If Guy Ford isn’t playing ping pong, it’s a sure bet you’ll see him and Les Costel in the weight room, trying to improve their al ready muscular physiques. Both of these men are doing well and looking good. Ben Jojola and honey JoAnne Lane are spectators who just walk around and visit with every body. This is sometimes hard for them to do so, especially when Raymond Cagey’s within two miles with his portable ghetto box, jammin out with Leo Edwards and Michael Jackson. arcade, you’ll most likely see Santos Windells trying to get a new world’s record on one of his favorite video games. Guy Ford and Brian "Butter" Bill are the ping pong players of CIS and are often seen challenging people to a "quick merciless game." Wade Hidalgo and Robin Marsh rule the foos-ball tables, while Tony LeBeau is king of the air hockey table. In a small little corner of all this commotion, you’ll find Byron Lee really try ing hard to concentrate on a tough game of chess. Out of the. rec area you’ll see (and hear) Leon Enick and his gang war hooping about and screaming the Cnemawa yell. They say it increases the circula tion, but the matrons don’t al ways agree. Right about now, the aroma of apple pie should be filling the air. If you follow the scent, you’ll come to find Edward George happily filling the orders of many Chemawa students as they place their orders for evening mun chies up in the PPS building. If you were to take a quick glimpse into Unit 9, you’d prob ably catch Leoda Yallup streat-. ched out on the couch watching T.y. If she’s not there, you’ll find her with the other cheer leaders next to unit 10, practic ing hard making up new cheeers for the football players. At the gymnasium, it’s a sure thing that you’ll find Myron BoneShirt, Anthony Ozenna and their teams getting down on a serious full court game of 5 on 5, or 6 on 6. Due to an increase of shop lifting incidents at Freys’ Thrift- way, Mr. Ed John, academic vice principal, placed the supermar ket temporarily off limits to students. Mr. John said many small items were stolen by several students, put pointed out the majority of students are honest and obey the rules. Students who shoplift not only break local and state laws, but give themselves and the school a bad name, said Mr. John. They are written up, given a large number of demerits, and placed on final probation. One student already faces Review Board for his shoplifting crimes this quarter. Mr. John said students who shoplift usually do it because they think it’s cool, or are dared into trying it. Mr. John said that he doesn’t want to punish the en tire school. At the sarpe time, in order to reduce such incidents he feels he must show those few that he and the store owner view these violations as serious matters. If incidents continue at Frey’s K-Mart, or any store the stores will be off limits for longer periods than the current two weeks. When the sh o p p in g stops students will once again be allowed to shop at Frey’s Thrift- way. Said one student, “ A few al ways try and make it bad for everyone.” WANT ADS Have something to sell?

There are forty students in the class. Publications is both journalism and yearbook combined. On October 6, the reporters went to the University of Oregon in Eugene for a press conference. Ms. LaCroix, was very excited about the trip because of all the opportunities there were. Our school had the second largest group there, we had 38 students out of two thousand. The paper will be put out monthly, and LaCroix wants the paper and yearbook to reflect student interests and concerns. Also to be a student publication. The class is hard work and the students in the class are begin ning to understand long hours. Some thought it would be all fun and little work, but it is very hard and time consuming. When Audrey Jones was asked why the class was special to her she stated that it was "Because of the freedom, trust and inde pendency Ms. LaCroix and the editors put into each and every person to get the job done." Jones’ goals for the year are to "Put out good stories so that my buddies will be proud of me." C r e a tiv e C o r n e r I will look across the Cascade Mountains, and across the Rocky Mountains. Across this Great Land, of so much Freedom.. . and of so many cages. Publications By Shane W. Swimptkin Many students head over to the CAEC building to thaw them selves by getting a piping hot cup of coffee or tea. Scott Winsor can be found there often, either mun ching down on popcorn, or just kicking back and "jawing" with all the girls who come in. All of this is just a typical night on campus. Never a dull mo ment!!!!! And I will smell, the suffocating, heavy stench of smoking marijuana; bloom... into the beautiful fragrance of an innocent Rose.
