Student receives
Meet Russell Graham, a fresh'
man at Oregon State University. He
lights up with enthusiasm when asked
about his new venture about col
lege life and the subjects he is taking.
His entry to college began with a
journey years ago when, as an eighth
grade students, he was encouraged to
prepare for his future.
Russell Graham of Warm Springs
is first SMILE graduate to attend
OSU. "SMILE has the best extra
curricular program I know. It gets
your mind going. It gets you learning
subjects like chemistry and math,
says Graham.
Russell, a Native American, has
lived all his life on the Warm Springs
Reservation in Central Oregon. He
went to elementary school there, and
continued on to junior high in the
adjoining town of Madras. It was
then, in junior high, that he was first
introduced to the SMILE Program.
He continued in the program in high
school and through the activities
became interested in and challenged
by math and science. And he's been
applying science to almost everything
ever since, from ham radio commu
nication to playing the trumpet.
Many people were influential in
Russell s life. First mentioned was
George Beekman, OSU computer
science instructor. "I met him when I
was in the 8th grade and he introduced

SMILE scholarship
me to computers," Russell exclaimed.
"Chris Warloe and Art Ochoa,
SMILE Summer Camp instructors
were role models for me. SMILE
helped me understand science; it
became fun. David Vick, a SMILE
teacher made every activity the group
did a challenge, whether we were
working in the lab, doing recycling,
a riparian project or calculating time
and distance on the bus ride to
Challenge Weekend. We even built a
bridge out of spaghetti. Anything I
did in SMILE was helpful to me."
Impressed early on by a tour of
Hewlett-Packard he added, "I'd even
like to work there someday. I like
their calculators; I have one!"
Reminiscing further he added,
"Carrie Bodensteiner, the Madras
High School SMILE leader, is a great
qualified leader and she told me about
the scholarship and encouraged me
to go to college."
Overwhelmed at first, but very
happy about receiving the scholar

ECE offers ideas for Christmas gifts for your children
As the holidays approach and
shopping begins, look for sturdy and
safe toys to buy. To help you make
careful, informed choices for your
child here is some sound advice.
Choose a toy that helps a child to
learn. When selecting a toy, think
about its potential for stimulating
discovery and creativity. Are there
lots of different ways for children to
use it and learn from it? Does it
stimulate the senses and intellect?
Does it offer lots of opportunities for
success? All of these are essential
factors in stimulating self-confidence
and the love of learning perhaps
the most important gifts you can give
a child.
Choose a toy that will grow with
the child. Is it a simple toy that could
provide a number of uses? Are the
toys generally non-explicit so that
children can fill in the details with
their imaginations? Is it built to last
and does it have a replacement guar
antee if it should break within the
designated warranty period? If you
answer "yes" to these questions, then
you've found a lasting toy. A toy for
the long run.
Choose a toy that fosters creativ
ity. When you give children the op
portunity to create their own world,
they will exercise and stretch their
imaginations in the process.

The activities he takes part in at
MHS include SMILE (Science Math
Investigative Learning Experience)
Club which he has been involved
with since Jr. High, NASU (Native

sophomore year, and Student Coun
cil his junior and senior years. His
special interests include, "Women
and leadership activities."
He was a member of the MHS
football team all throughout high
school and the MHS baseball team
since his freshman year. His favorite
sport is basketball he feels because
he excels the most in that sport
compared to football. His favorite
classes while attending Madras High
School include; English 10 with

ered." A toy should engage a child's
attention, demand action and then
respond in a way that will keep the
child interested. These toys help de
velop the ability to concentrate a
skill that will benefit children from
the earliest years.
Choose toys that are geared to a
child's age group. There's nothing
worse than being frustrated by some
thing because you just don't know
how to do it, and play should not be
a frustrating experience. That's why
it's important to select a toy that is
geared to the child's age group and
performance level.
Choose a toy with a variety of
play possibilities. Variety it's a
spice of life. Think about how many
different ways a toy can be played
with.

try some of these ideas before you
come home to the kids:
Take an exercise break. Even 1 0
or 15 minutes of fast walking can
help make you feel better.
Sing. If you're in the car, turn on
the radio and sing out loud! If you're
walking, sing or hum your favorite
song to yourself.
Laugh! Read the comics or a

Special awards Goudy has re

once a year all throughout his high
school days, and varsity letters in
football and baseball. His outlook of
the past school years he feels he has
achieved maturity in some ways and
also that they have been the best
years of his life. He is feeling "hap
piness, yet uncertainty" about this
being his last year in high school. He
will miss the relationships with
classmates, teachers and the admin
istrators the most when he leaves
Madras.
His career choices will be in either
the Health or Business areas. And he
would like to attend Stanford, if not

like to comment to the remaining
lower classmen, "This is a major
turning point in your life, make it a
good one." In five to ten years Goudy
sees himself in school somewhere

decision-making. Look for toys that
give options, allow children to make
choices and have open-ended play
value. Building toys are great for
this.
Choose toys that encourage parent-child
interaction. Toys provide a
natural way for parents to spend
"quality time" with their children.
Here's yourchance to give your child
some long-desired attention in a fun
setting while sharing some of your
own knowledge, attitudes and val
ues. Select toys for all of your child's
developing needs. Try to build up a
varied collection of toys that address
the needs of the whole child. Look
for toys:
1. That teach basic concepts like
numbers & letters.
2. that are for physical activity to
funny story. Laughing helps to re
duce stress.
Eat a snack. Eat something you
really like, very slowly.
Daydream. Think about your
self in some quiet, relaxing spot such
as the beach or a park. Think about
every detail, how it looks, smells and
what it feels like.
Before you enter the door, take a
deep breath and think about some
thing that you really enjoy about your
children.
A young child under six months old will
learn fast by exploring his environment
putting anything and everything into his
mouth. Never leave small objects in your
baby's reach, even for a moment. Never
feed him hard pieces of food because he
will choke. Learn how to save the life of a
choking child by taking a CPR class. You

3. that encourage emotional and
social growth.
Choose toys that guarantee a
child's safety. Items to look for:
- Labels that state "non-toxic" on
painted toys; "flame retardani" or
flame resistant" on fabrics; "UL
Approved" on electrical toys as well
as cords and plugs.
- Small parts, such as eyes and
noses, on stuffed animals and cloth
dolls that can't be pulled or chewed
off.
- Rattles, squeakers and teething
toys should be too large to fit in an
infant's mouth.
- Age labels and warnings on toy
Packages. Remember that toys
ought for older children can be dan
gerous for small children in the same
home.

product that has been recalled, con

Commission's toll free hotline at 1-800-638-2772.
The greatest gift a child can re
ceive is your love. Make a goal to
give each child a special hug every
day during the hectic holidays ahead.
Dress children
appropriately for
winter play
Despite what many people be
lieve, for most children there is no
harm in being outdoors in cold or
snowy weather, keeping in mind that
children should be dressed appropri
ately; for example, they should wear
layered clothing that dries easily. (It's
also worth pointing out that children
shouldn't be overdressed indoors.)
Being outside gives them a chance
' for fresh air, a change in environ
ment, and an opportunity to bum off
energy by using their large muscle
groups.
There are certain children who
cannot go outside for medical rea
sons, but they are a small minority.
And certainly common sense would
not support sending your children
outdoors when the weather is ex
treme. So please remember to dress your
child appropriately when you send
them to Early Childhood or school.
Layer their clothing and let them
know they can peel off some layers
to be comfortable while inside. This
way children can enjoy their time
outside without feeling cold.
