FALL HOLIDAY ISSUE PAGE 9 Taylor Encourages Goal Setting Todd’s Rock By Todd George (an outpost of industrial Newcastle). Brian had a stint in the second-hand car business and ran his own auto roof ing firm before “A C /D C ” tapped him back in 1980. Ever since he’s written lyrics for a lot of “A C /D C ’s” biggest songs like “H ells Bells,” “Y ou Shook Flick of the Switch Angus Young and Brian Johnson are the frontmen o f this hard rocking band. This Anglo Australian rock groups records have sold some 24 million copies worldwide, m ost of them to boys m the demin brigade. T he band's latest A tlan tis Record release, “Flick o f the Switch,” is now adding appreciably to the sales figure. “A C /D C ” is now on a cross-country tour that will run through early winter. Nearly ten years after the -formation o f “A C /D C , its success remains strong. Brian Johnson now ranks as the m ost successful singer of H eavy M etal music to come dttt o f Northeastern England. Johnson, son of a coal miner, is now (hipping away at a different vein; m in ing rock gold which enables him to a n v e a Porsche 911, a 1952 W oolsey, a Range Rover, a Chevy Blazer, and a Harley Davidson. It w asn’t alw ays H arleys and May Taylor, Chemawa School Board spokesper son, smiles during a school board meeting at Chemewa. Behind .every school adminis- ration there is a school board nade up o f members represent- ng the geographical boundaries >f the school. Chemawa is no lifferent. Our school board has > members who represent tribes n Washington, Oregon, Mon- ana, Alaska, Idaho, and all >ther areas not covered in the Ive states listed. We would like our readers to , jecome better acquainted with ¿he school board by featuring me member in each issue of tbe laper. This first issues features Ver- anica “ Mae” T aylor who is the president o f Chemawa’s School Board. Mrs. Taylor Is an enrolled member o f the Nez Perce Tribe. She was bom and raised and currently lives in Lapwai, Idaho. In 1970 Mrs. T aylor began her work on the board as an al ternate for Idaho representa tive. In 1973 she was elected as a full board member and has maintained that position. Taylor defines the school board as a group of elected re presentatives that not only oversee the budget and all the departmental programs, but supports Principal Gerald Gray in his policies by sanctioning the implementation of school programs that benefit students. Taylor added that the day-to- dauy operation of the school belong to Mr. Gray and Mr. Van Peters, but the board over sees the full scope o f the school’s operating prorams. One major program Mrs. Taylor; the school board is ad vocating, supporting and are directly involved with is the A1-, cohol Community Intervention Program which. Mr. G ray has implemented. “ Alcoholism and dnig abuse are very present among our teenagers, and the contagious disease is spreading. I feel Chemawa students who want an education are often ignored because students with problems (drugs and alcohol) are the focus o f attention. We need to have programs for kids with problems - intervention pro grams. T h a t is why we are training people in community will make a difference, is need a lot of help. Too they don’t really have i to really care about I feel strongly that this m is going to make a dif- 3,” explained Taylor, responding to these cri- reas of drug and alcohol ms, M ae feels th at lts can learn to take bet- vantage o f the basic foun- ß taught here. She is also mg advocate of setting establishing good work religious training tor ’ people, and accepting e responsibilities by belonging to various student or ganizations that help young people develop relationships and skills needed for the future. Preparation for the future begins now, stated Taylor. “ In dian 'kids live in two worlds with two sets of laws: reserva tion laws and state laws. There is a lot of pressure, a lot of dis crimination b y non-Indians in cluding teachers and sta ff because of ignorance. Blacks are passing us up and pushing aw ay.” ' The answer is not to be over whelmed by the pressures, she said, but to take advantage o f the opportunities to learn of the non-Indian world. “ We m ust still keep our cultural Indian values,” Taylor added. Mrs. Taylor has been married for 29 years. She has three chil dren who range in age from 28- 17. She graduated from Lapwai High School, attended Lewis and Clark State College for a time, and earned her L P N D e gree from St. Josephs School of Nursing in Lewiston, Idaho. Watching football and basket ball games, fishing, camping, playing golf, beading, crochet ing and com husking are among Taylor’s hobbies. In the conclusion Mrs. Taylor reminds students that she and other board members and the staff are all available, to help the students. | “ I hope students will do the best job they can by setting goals for themselves and work ing towards them, but never losing their identity,” she con cluded. TOP TEN By iQpy Luton Chemawa Indian students are like other typical teenagers they enjoy ,listening to the to 40’s and rocking out whenever possible. In a recent survey taken by staff students voted the song “ FO O LIN ” by D ef Lep pard as Chemawa’s number one song. The other top nine are as follows: 2. “ Juicy Fruit” 3. “ Say, Say, S ay ” 4. “ Can’t Get Over Loving Y ou” 5. “ Candy Girl” 6. “Come on Feel the Noise” 7. “ Lick It Up” 8. “ Islands in the Stream ” 9. “ Every Breath you Take” 10 “ Pretty Young Thing’ CHEMAWA AMERICAN 1983 Porsches for Brian Johnson. F o r a tong t o he was a resident at N orth Shield a Me All N ight Long,” ahd the “Flick of the Switch.” On stage in t h e , recording studio, Brian’s recording partners include guitarist Malcom Young; Cliff Williams on bass; Simon Wright on drums, who comes to “A C/DC” from England’s hard rocking Tyton. The best known emblem o f their success, however, remains the energetic Angus Young. On stage he’s the un- defeatable lead guitarist. Off stage he prefers to paint oils, or study the battles of World War II, and cautiously stays away from the alcohol which has been so strongly linked with the legend of the band. The story of Angus is basically that there was a schoolboy outfit ben eath the silly costume, and a kid prepared to be the next big noise rock- n-roll. Back in 1974 “A C /D C ” toted its books and satches into "Adelaide.” Driving the band was another Scottish immigrant named Ronald “Bob” Scott, who was part-time chauffeur, and part- time singer. The group was reorganized (with new basses Mark Evans and drummer Phil Rudd) and Bon Scott SONG DEDICATIONS By Làcey Luton and LaVelle Walker TO: SONG Lynda Tillman Leo Edwards Cheryl WhiteHawk Walter Payne Sherry Browning Robert Wahpat Gene Baker FROM: Always on my mind Every breath you take Three tim es a lady Wanna be starting something *1999* Cutie pie Hot studd All the girls here at Come on feel the noise ♦CHEMAWA* Harold Bilsie Always on my mind Cheryl Old Chief The best of times Timmy Ears FrybergHot stuff r ft* i Maneater Wanda Wells Cutie pie Darrell Running- Rabbit Love hurts Tina Webster You’re ffly everything Steve Axtell Maneater Rose Wall Secret Admirer Sécret admirer Good friend always The girls A good friend ???

Loren Yellowbird Kanet Wolfe David Bearchild Nelson Wallace Todd Boyd Jay & Roy Casey Fitzpatrick Ruth Paul Paul Moore KimWhiteMan Darrell Ferguson saw an opportunity. He charmed his way into a practice session and soon joined the band. Bon proved to be a good showman and a powerful singer. Under the direction of Harry Vanda and George Young, “A C /D C ” ham mered out such m etal works as “Let There Be Rock,” “Powerage,” and “If You W ant Blood (You’ve Got It).’’ T he last two feature Englishman Cliff Wil liams on bass guitar. Then “A C /D C ” picked up high powered management. The breakth rough seemed to be at hand' w ith the malease of “Highway to H ell” back in 1979, but Bon Scott’s love affair with the bottle reportedly was getting ou t of control. Bon Scott was found dead in the back seat of a car in February o f 1980, after a hard night o f drinking that had lasted until 3 a.m. The only significant change in “A C /D C ” is the departure of Phil Rudd,- the drummer who’s been re placed by Simon Wright. Many bands that achieve “A C /D C ’s” level of success lose intensity which enabled them to make it in th e first place. It’s to this groups credit th at it has continued to work hard to better it’s sound as it has gone on. So if yeu are a real, genuine hard rocking headbanger, I urge you to dig inside of yóur pocket and buy the bands new album, “Flick of the Switch.” The Switch Is On!!
