Poge 2 KLAMATH TRIBUNE MARCH 1958 k"Z-' "V V;"'' LEROY JACKSON STUDYING SCREEN PRINTING AT OREGON TECH It's ;m "allright" course, states I.eroy Jackson about the mtci'H printing work lie is taking at O.T.I. innlcT the Klamath Kduca t it hi Program. I.eroy started the course last September ami lias just cmipletcd his second term. I.eroy sees miiiic disadvantages to the course---"you have to get in tin paint, wash screens your self, splash gas all over yourself" hut looking at it from an over all viewpoint he feels that he is getting some good training. "I like anatomy hest," says l.e ioy in evaluating his main sub jects. In this course he and the lest f the students learn how to draw all aspens of .iiuman figure. Another subject the class has taken is opaque wash and right now they are concentrating n colors--how to mix them, what colors complement t'ach other, what colors make up other colors, etc. s fur his allied subjects, I.eroy feels they are f varied tjuality. Human lclatious, a psychology course, he likes fine, lie recently completed a term project in it, writing up a developmental his tory of another O.T.I, student, for which he got a B plus. Methods of study. howecr, he considers "pretty dull." "I don't think anybody liked it. Some gu s weien't bowing up when they wcjc supposed to. Psy chology they come ccry time---make all their clasv,v" I.eroy agrees that scieen print ing is difficult and that he is having to put forth a lot ot ett'ort. "It serins funnv to be in thete with all those high school gradu ates. Hut I do some work that's pretty good---bcttcr than some of them. My instructors help me with things I get stuck on." I.eroy has lived most of his life in Beattv but received the greater part of his prc-O.T.I. education at St. Mary's Academy in Albany. He has a wife, Cather ine, and three children, all of whom reside with hint on campus at O.T.I. He says that he has al ways been interested in art and that before enrolling at O.T.I, he did a number of oil paintings, his favorite subjects being animals and scenery. He has enjoyed a' certain measure of financial suc cess with his work as he has found buyers for one picture which he paired of a ship, two elk pictures, and two cougar pic tures. He admits, however, that some of his output he just gave away. Another hobby is singing and playing the guitar. In regard to termination, I.eroy acknowledges that his family has already received the election bal lots which were recently mailed out by the Management Special ists. As far as the outcome of the election is concerned, he predicts "most of them will want to get out". He takes issue with current movements to postpone the elec tion, feeling that it should be held forthwith.. "It's about time they should be doing something. They can't go on like this all the time. They should get out ami live their own life instead of living on payments. You can't expect a payment all Ed. Program Students On Honor Roll Klamath Kducation Program students on the.OTI honor roll for winter term were: Phil H. Tupper, Paul Bclhn, Vince Bod ner, Irwin Crume, and Randolph David, Jr. Bodner, Crume, and David, all enrolled in the auto mechanics course, received -J.00 or straight A averages.

CHS SPRING FETE ANNOUNCED Mrs. Pretoria Bell, commercial teacher at C'hiloipu'n High School, announces that the school's spring fete will be held on Wed nesday. April 30, at the high school gym. beginning at 8:00 p.m. The festivities, which will be under the over-all direction of Mrs. Bell, will include such items as a style show, exhibits by the shop and home economics classes, folk dances, special and choral music, ami a one-act play. There will be no admission charge and all interested persons are cordially invited to attend. the time." However, I.eroy sees advan tages in both alternatives af forded by the election, ie., re maining in or withdrawing from the Tribe. Withdrawing, he feels, may give individuals the opportunity to buy decent homes, etc., and to attain a college education. How ever, the potential loss of hunt ing and fishing rights should give pause for reflection. "I don't think the Indians will make it without the deer up there. That's what they all eat deer meat and fish. I know that's what we used to live on." On the other hand, staying in the tribe, he fears, may be tptite unsatisfactory. "I've heard that their per capitas were going to be smaller. I don't think those who stay in will like small per capitas." A charwoman was telling a a friend of her prowess in polish ing floors. "When 1 started to work here the floors were in bad shape, but since I've been doing them," she said with tpiiet pride, three ladies have fallen down." DANCERS ENTERTAIN TOURNEY CROWDS Contributing a lot of color to the All-Indian Tournament were the Indian dancers coming from diverse spots. The three main groups of dancers were, from Reno, Xevada, Warm Springs, and Xixon. Xevada.

Reno and the Warm Springs Gjrls col laborated on a roi;nd dance and the latter also treated the crowd to a proposal dance, a skip dance, and a butterfly dance. Prizes were awarded to the first three place winners in the danc ing and also to the dancer w ith the best costume. Tony Shoulder blade took the first place trophy and with it $35.00 in cash ; Gordon Frazer came in second and re ceived $30.00; Harry Miller from Warm Springs took third and a cash award of $25.00.
