Smoke Signals June 1990 Page 7 Editor Attends Career Day On May 9th, 1990, Hunting, Fishing and Newsletter Coordinator Brent Merrill attended a "Career Carnival" at Chief Leschi High School in Tacoma, Washington. Merrill was invited to attend by Chief Leschi instructor Cheryl Van Brocklin who hosted the event along with her students. The school's Career Day got under way with an introduction from Peter Campbell of Eastern Washing ton University. Campbell is in charge of Indian Studies at the University. Campbell spoke to the students about career and educational opportunities at his school and others in the area. Next, Carol Giboncy, assistant principal at Centralia Middle School in Centralia, Washington talked about the importance of finding an occupation in a field that you really enjoy. She also took the time to share some of her experiences as a teacher with the students. Giboncy's presentation was lively and enjoyable. After the introductions the students broke into two groups and attended workshops on Health-related careers and careers in the communications field. Along with Merrill who talked about how to get into careers in Photo-journalism other guest speakers included Julie McCann from KOMO television and radio station in Seattle, Washington and Rich Buscy who is a video producer for Washington Natural Gas. Buscy showed a video that he produced for the employees of his com pany and also shared his experiences of getting into the field of video production. McCann, who is in charge of KOMO's personnel department, talked about the increasing demand for Native Americans in the radio and television industry. . .

Haller Are Your Students "Thinking of Graduate School" A matter of mounting national concern is the dwindling number of United States citizens who plan to enter graduate school to prepare themselves for careers in science or engineering. As one means of promoting interest in graduate school for students in science and engineering fields, the National Science Foundation has prepared a pamphlet briefly describing its NSF Graduate Research Fellow ship programs for distribution to college juniors and seniors. Colleges and universities nationwide are being asked to be partners in this effort by bringing these fellowship opportunities to the attention of qualified stu dents. Program Announcement brochures and application materials for the 1991 NSF Graduate Research Fellow ship competition will be available upon request in September 1990 from the Fellowship Office, National Research Council, 2101 Constitution Avenue, Washing ton, D.C. 20418 Tribal Members Honored by WHS at Annual Awards Program Receiving a gold award (for 3.8 4.0 average) was Angela Leno.
