78' Grads a joyous group
They might have been re
ferred to as antsy or the j young
and the restless, but whatever,
the 137 jubilant graduating se
niors of Madras High School
listened patiendy and quiedy to
speeches, prayers and songs
dedicated especially to them at
the graduation ceremony on
Friday, May 26.
Twenty-six of those graduat
ing were from Warm Springs.
Those happy graduates were
Gladys "Mona" Jim, Larry
Squiemphen, Tim Greene,
LaDonna Picard, Whitney
Miller, Desi Hurtado, Gerald
Danzuka, Winona Spino, Sally
Rhoan, Althea Scott, Mike Leno,
Matt Conner, Simon Kalama,
Alex Smith, Corinna Sohappy,
Caroline Strong, Owen
Danzuka, Brian Conner, An
thony Shadley, Maria Patt, Jamie
Smith, Jackie Estimo, Leontyne
Tanewasha, Mina Shike, Arlene
Wewa, and Roger Stwyer.
Calvin Chinn opened the cer
emony with the invocation and
a message concerning happiness.
"Your search for happiness is
not to relive the past or put all
your hopes in the future, but to
live fully in the present."
The address, which was de
livered by Robert Anderson Se
nior Account Executive of
Belrod, Hammerback, Inc., was
regarding self-confidence. He
said that he had read in the Lon
don Times that physical illness,
emotional problems, personal
indebtedness, lack of knowl
edge, and lack of plan for life
were listed as the five reasons
for loss of self-confidence. He
elaborated on each cause and
also added, "each of you is the
rider of the horse of life, you
must make the horse take you
where you want to go in life. Set
your goals, believe in yourself,
and suck to your convictions."
The seniors accepted their
diplomas in different ways. One
boy jogged to have his diploma
handed to him and another
yelled triumphantly, not once,
but twice, after receiving his "re
ward." The benediction was pre
sented to the capacity crowd by
Sally Rhoan, as she performed
the "Lord's Prayer" in Indian
sign language.
The commencement was
ended with a recording of
Fleetwood Mac's song, "Don't
Stop."

Included in the tenth anniver
sary celebration of the Museum
at Warm Springs, a dedication
of the Korean War Memorial

During the mid-1990s Frank
Lockyear of the Oregon Lions
came up with an idea to plant
seedlings. These seedlings, more
than 58,000, are a representa
tion of each Korean War Vet
eran in the United States. Past
District Governor Lion Jay
Binder, is scheduled on the
agenda.
ReTree International and the
Oregon Lions participated in this
planting by planting several ev
ergreen seedlings adjacent to the
Museum at Warm Springs. Con
tract planters on reservation
forested-land were instrumental
in completing the bulk of the
planting.
The Museum dedication is an
opportunity for ReTree Interna
tional, the Oregon Lions, and All
Warriors' Society to come to
gether and celebrate the plant
ing. A dedication of the Korean
War Memorial Tree Plant will
take place as ReTree Interna
tional has a bronze plaque to be
mounted inside the Museum At
Warm Springs.
ReTree International is look
ing forward to renewing friend
ships with members of the All
