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’

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

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!!
