vision. 1 Imi have a deep interest
in the social sciences and 1 have
taken several extra courses in
pscholojjy, sociology and anthro
poloy which will he of value to
nu it) everyday nursing ex
perience as well as help towards
mv master's decree in nursing
which I hope to he ahle to com
plete within the next two years.
I want to he a nursing teacher
and administrator. I am especially
interested in the organization and
function of nursing schools, hut
the prohletns which face the
nursing profession in general
also are a matter of concern and
interest to nu. It will he the re
sponsibility of the nursing ad
ministrators of the future to work
out thc.se problems and I hope
to prepare myself to do my part
in finding solutions to them.
I can't say how very grateful
I am to the Indian Hducation
Program for helping me ret my
edtication. It isn't vnly the fi
nancial help, although of course
this is certainly a very lare con
sideratin. but I think the per
sonal interest and friendly cooper
ation of the men who handle the
personal contacts with the stu
dents should receive recognition
tor the important contribution
they are making to the success
of the program. Fin sure that
their knowledge and understand
ing help has made the difference
between success and failure for
many students who had no other
place to seek this kind of help. I
am most sincere when I say that
I have the highest regard for
every one of the men that I have
met who are associated with this
program. The wide variety of
learning available to the members
of the Klamath Tribe through this
program makes it especially im
partial and fair to everyone,
whether they want a decree in

Two students under the Klam

on the O.T.I, honor roll for fall
term. To be on the honor roll at
O.T.I. . students must achieve a
term grade average for all courses
of at .least 3.5, which is equival

formal studies or vocational
training. I'm grateful to it every
time I see other students who
without this benefit have to quit
their education for lack of funds
or because they are unable to
make their grades when they
have to work to support them
selves at the same titm.
I regret that I will be unable
to take advantage of this program
next year because my husband
and I will be attending North
western I'niversity in Chicago,
but I certainly feel that I have
been very fortunate in being able
to take advantage of it for the
past two years and I think it's
value cannot be overestimated.
I hope your holidays were as
happy as ours, and that the com
ing year brings you both personal
happiness and health, and well
deserved success in this worth
while program.
Sincerely yours,
