As freshman David White, now
18, was on his way to becoming one
of the many dropouts Madras High
School produces. I le said his grades
were, "Not good," and he laughed,
"I probably had a point-something
CPA."
Then things changed - he wanted
to graduate. And he did, as part of
the largest graduating class of MI IS,
140 students, lie said of his gradua

was my way of repaying my mom

after that they went to Hawaii for

but had one complaint, "It shouldn't

Over the past year White has
been involved in many fundraising
activities for a graduation trip with
10 other Native American seniors to
Disneyland and other theme parks
in California. White said he enjoyed
going to Disneyland the most, "Be

Next fall White will attend The
College of the Redwoods in F.ureka,
California but is unsure of a major.
I le says he wants, "to get away from
Oregon - from home - for a while."
I Ic plans on playing football at the

he'll go on to a four-year college.
After college he plans on going
to a vocational school to become a
cabinetmaker, which is his goal in
life.

following
accident
A Warm Springs youth was trans
ported to St. Charles Medical Cen
ter, following a motor vehicle acci
dent that happened Sunday night,
Aug. 5.
As of earlier this week, the mat
ter was still being investigated by the
Warm Springs Police Department.
The wreck happened at milepost
six on Tenino Road, when a driver
apparently lost control of a vehicle,
reportedly striking a power pole.
Details of the incident were not
available at press time this week.
Unconfirmed reports were that five
youths - three girls and two boys -were
in the vehicle. One of the girls
was transported to St. Charles.
On Wednesday she was reported
to be in fair condition
