The name is a tradition and near legend throughout Indian country. The name is a status among many older Indian people, people who represent the near 7000 who have graduated from Chilocco in its 94 year history. In 1978 the graduating class will add to the tradition of Chilocco graduating Indians who will readily take their place in society. The big question is, Will we add to the con- tinuing success that Chilocco graduates aspire to? Are we adding to those who aspire to uphold the richness, pride, and success of the Chilocco tradition? Realizing that much of the success of graduates of Chilocco is attributed to the joint efforts of the school, stu- dents and parents, these same principles must be applied to future success. In this respect Chilocco has altered programs to meet prevailing needs of its student clientele. In 1978 this need is prevalent. Thus, in its aspiration to meet prevailing needs, Chilocco will take on the endeavors of providing a concentrated vocational technical program to Indian youngsters who aspire to such training as a permanent means of a livelihood or as a stepping stone to higher goals. The comprehensive vocational program will be backed up by supportive programs designed to enhance the vocational success of each graduate. Graduates of Chilocco represent all walks of life in our country. Their success can be partially attributed to the discipline of vocational education. Many do not follow it to- day but will relate their story to the fact it was a stepping stone. Secondly, when we evaluate the travesty and pain of Chilocco, the beginning coincides with the beginning of de-emphasis of vocations at Chilocco. Ten years is long enough for a school like Chilocco to flounder and attempy programs all other schools throughout the country are providing. Chilocco always provided a uni- que program for unique needs. Now, in 1978 we have determined that this unique need is still prevalent and will strive to meet it as we re-emphasize a concentrated vocational and basic education program to add to the rich tradition and pride of Chilocco grad- uates so that the oldest of Chilocco graduates can identify with the youngest graduate as a proud legend. 8 jimmy Baker Superintendent, Class of 1960 Naomi Tommie teams banking accounting procedures.

Boxing at Chilocco began on a club bases in the ’20’s. During 1932 a training coach Joe Rainman from Wichita, Kansas arrived at Chilocco to select a team to represent Chilocco Indian School in a boxing tourna- ment to be held in Kansas. Many young Indian boys went to the tryouts and a necu- lus of the following people formed the club that year. Benny McIntosh, flyweight; Fred Merrick Jake Seoja and Bert Ahboak, featherweights; Ernest Tahquctta, lightweight; Lewis Curtis, Robert Victor, welterweights; Otho Bcnn, middleweight and Junior Munsell, light- heavy weight. The Indians gained recognition as one ot the most colorful teams in the district with one champion and a team trophy at the Mis- souri Valley Golden Gloves in Kansas City. Winners were Benny McIntosh and Junior Munsell. They moved on to Madison Square Garden in New York City, N.Y. and fought in the Golden Gloves there. This was the beginning of many boxing champions at Chilocco for a period of ap- proximately 20 years. Along with the box- ing talent, the coaches that should be re- cognized were: R.R. Oehmcke, L.E. Correll, Roger Denman, Ray Colglazier and Earl Grinnell. On March 3, 1949 the most color- ful sport was discontinued at all BIA schools including Chilocco. Some schools reinstated the sport in the late ’50’s and early ’60’s. But it wasn’t until 1974 that boxing re- turned to Chilocco and true to the Chilocco Boxing Club’s historic form it was a dynamic comeback. Bill Karty, Bill Grant and New- man Littlewalker were the coaches in 1974. Wrapping hands, learning to shadow box, punching a heavy bag, keeping the hands up, and jabbing straight-all these boxing fund- amentals stressed with hours of practice pro- duced championship boxing again at Chil- occo . The boxing club used the name, Chilocco Indians and a gone forever oppor- tunity came back home. Hard work, sweat, and also a committment on the coaches part produced a school-minded organization which is genuinely interested in concentrat- Story of Success ing on the welfare and development of the young people of the school. Boxing gave to many young boys DIS- CIPLINE, not just a boxing style and being able to walk and talk about boxing but the ability to discipline the mind into channels that produce not only body development but good citizenship as well. In 1974-75 many Chilocco Indian champions were pro- duced: Silas Johnson, Papago; Ronnie Buf- falohead, Ponca, Jimmie Cline, Otoe; Regio- nal Golden Gloves winner and Indian Natio- nals participant, Stewart, Nevada; Dwight Howe, Ponca, Finalist Rcgionals, Sports- manship winner; Sherwin Wilson, Papago, Finalist, Regionals and Sportsmanship win ner. A year later in 1976 Chilocco again earn- ed recognition throughout boxing circles with a fine-honed boxing club. Six winners were crowned at the district in Blackwell for both open and novice fighters. Later in the Regionals held in Hutchinson, Kansas. Orvin Flyinghorse won in novice and Tim Parker made his way to the finals. In 1977 two more winners at the Hutch- inson Regionals were crowned, Orvin Fly- inghorse won three consecutive bouts with knockouts in the first round in the open division, with the toughest match lastin 2 minutes. In the novice division Clendon Warrior won three bouts by decision. On March 30, 1977 Orvin Flyinghorse traveled withthe Southern and Northern Oklahoma Golden Gloves teamto Hono- lulu, Hawaii. He won his first two matches easily but was stopped by a close decison the second night. In April 1977, Chilocco Indians travel- ed to Carson City, Nevada at Stewart Indian School to enter the All Indian Nationals. Orvin Flyinghorse went to the finals and won the Sportsmanship award. Tim Parker and Clendon Warrior got to the semi-finals. Although boxing isn’t considered a team sport (such-as football or basketball) there is teamwork involved. We are no one tribe of Indians but Indians winning together. It is the individual teamwork that counts. Boxers, coaches and promoters make boxing great at Chilocco and Chilocco great in Box- ing. When and where it comes to boxing, “Chilocco goes to fight!”. 64 — Borrowed 5iac. ieu; '75 Indian School Journal Volume No. 75 Chilocco.

The big parade on Saturday, October 29, 1977, capped the entire affair. This parade follows the route of the main Thoroughfare in Arkansas City, Kansas, just to the north of the Chilocco Indian School. Many floats classified under various categories lake part in this grand parade including our grand masterpiece. We were alt especially proud of the Chilocco float this year and cannot overlook the fact that many hours of planning and hard work went into this project- Mr. Francis Kirkland, Welding Class instructor, with the assistance of welding students often, makes the basic metal framework required while Mr. Henry Hendrickson, a car- penter laboriously works out the detailed wooden frame requirements. Then the float superstructure decorations and final form are built up from the ideas and drawings made by Mr. Angelo Jacovelli, Yearbook, newspaper sponsor and managing editor as well as an F.nglish teacher on our academic staff. Mrs. Ida Lamev. Business F.ducation and Typing class instructor, along with Mr , bandy Wilson. Arts and Crafts leat her, Mr Tom Hardin, Driver instructor and Music teacher, all worked on the final decorations of the beautiful float which took two first place prizes this year, the best homemade one and the one that best stayed with the theme. Autumn Jubilee. Last, but certainly not least of the rewards for all the work are the wonderful comments on our magnificent float along with the positive relationship for the Chilocco School and some 50,000 people estimated to have watched the parade. This was fine publicity for the school. Those who labored lovingly on the protect certainly deserve a big applause for their work. By Terry Dawson A new dimension has been added to the print shop recently with the purchase Of an IBM Electronic “Selectric Composer This machine and similar machines on the market today are gradually making the lineotypc obsolete. The IBM romrs equipped with a working memory that lets you justify, format, and correct electronically...up to 8,000 char- acters and codes. Even though the machine costs S8.300. it wdll be a great benefit to the print shop students especially girls, since there is a possibility of employment directly out of high school. The requirement for the efficient use of this machine is that the stu- dent must be able to type with speed and accuracy.
