The summer is at a fast pace
and waiting for no one and it
will soon be Autumn. The stu
dents arc winding up their
summer employment and look
ing toward another school year.
The hallways around the
organization will soon be quiet
after the summer programs are
all closed, where these past few
weeks were busy with the hustle
and bustle of students doing
errands and other jobs which
kept the hallways busy. To some
departments it was a big help to
have the youngsters on hand to
do the leg work. A lot of jobs
gives the students a chance to
see just how each department
functions. This helps some to
decide on a career in certain
areas while it also gives the students a chance to see the negative
side of jobs that appear to be all peaches and cream until one is
directly involved on the job.
There are those students who have enough insight of the job
situation and still have several years before they strike out on their
own. ..and at the present time they choose the outdoor jobs rather
than to be cooped up in a office at such a young age. They feel
being outdoors at this time is better and when they get older and
are ready to enter college, thats when they will become serious of a
career job during the summer months.
Almost every department had at least one student working,
some offices and departments had several, especially the grounds
(crew and the outdoor recreation jobs had several students on the
job. The summer recreation jobs keeps the students on their toes
wiost of the time because they supervise summer recreation activi
ties for the kids at the Community Center, for swimming and other
outdoor activities like hiking, rafting and other activities that need
constant supervision over the younger children.
The next step for all the students is school shopping where they
will take all their savings and get ready for that opening day at
school, while all the departments who have employed these stu
dents will be back to normal again.
The patent ol Joshua Spencer
(Piumcsha burn victim) would like
to express their deepest, heartfelt
appreciation to the caring com
munity of Warm Springs.
The cards and letters sent to
Joshua make his days more beara
ble. He looks forward to each letter
and card he receives and at times
has his mother read them over and
over to him.
At the time of this writing, he
was in between surgeries (he was
awaiting his fifth one). Each day
Joshua has made some progress,
he is able to walk further and not
on his tippy toes, and to stand
straightcr than the day before, lie
is a very courageous boy.
The prayers can be felt by all in
his room, so he knows that a lot of
people are praying for him (them).
The loving support that was given
was greatly appreciated.
Since the accident, Joshua and
parents have found out they have a
lot of relatives from Warm Spring
s.liis grandmother on his dad's
side was Cynthia Swiztlcr.
So again, many, many, thanks to
all of you that shared our concern,
prayed for our strength and the
recovery of Joshua and helped out
in anv and everv way.
