Chilocco is one of the outstanding agriculture schools in the United States. Being Iocatec in a state which is famous for its agricultural production and being attended in large part by Indians who own land of their own which is often being farmed by outsiders, Chiloccc should be playing an important part in increasing Indian use of Indian lands in Oklahoma If the Indian young people took full advantage of this training and began to operate their own lands they would obtain a greatly increased income trom this resource. Chilocco also offers valuable trade training for Indians who must depend upon wage employment in industry. Many ot its graduates could create opportunities for themselves as individual businessmen, in many of the small towns of Oklahoma as a result of the training which they receive at Chilocco. There is need for carpenters, for mechanics, for shoemakers and for handymen of many types. Competent individuals could make a place for themselves that would be independent of the variable employment opportunities offered by larger industries. Many Chilocco boys and girls are distinguishing themselves in college and securing positions ot responsibility following their college graduation. Recently Chilocco has assumed a new responsibility of great importance in enrolling boys and girls from the Navajo tribes who must find permanent homes tor themselves away from their reservation. The school is well equipped to serve this purpose admirably, 3 Y ill-Y., Foreword- ,I This, the 1949 issue of the Chiloccoan, records for you activities and functions of the Chilocco School. May it serve its purpose in the years to come by refreshing your memory of the many happy ex- periences that you as a student or employee had during the year. 4 x L Dedication MARTIN SANDERS Martin Sanders Instructor in Carpentry, has endeared himself to Chilocco d Chl o I-le is students during the past nineteen years he has been employe at iocc . an alumnus of the Class of '29, I-Iis work has included instructor in cleaning and Dressing, and he served for many years as Scout Master. He now sponsors the Trades Club. As a student, Mr, Sanders was a member of Company C, l8Oth Infantry and for the past six years he has been Staff Sergeant in the local National Guard. his family golfing and the Masonic Lodge of Among his personal interests are , , which he is Past Master of Blue Lodge, Knight Templar and a 32 degree Mason. -le is a member of the Cherokee tribe. Mr. Sanders, while training boys in the skills of carpentry, helps them gain a fine sense of responsibility for being a good workman and a good citizen. It is in appreciation of Mr. Sanders as an instructor and as o favorite Chilocco alumnus ' ' ' h I949 CHILOCCOAN. that the Senior Class dedicate to him t e 5 A dministration L. E. CORRELL Superintendent Greetings to the Senior Class: You young people are rapidly approaching the completion of the second goal in your efforts to obtain a good education. Please remember that an education is only valuable if you make use of it. If you have learned some- thing worthwhile here at Chilocco, put it to work immediately because only by usage and repetition can you hope to continue to improve on what you now think you know. If you leave a piece of brand new machinery standing 6 N idle without care it takes only a few months until it becomes rusty and cannot be used economically in the future without a lot of effort, brushing up, re- greasing and reconditioning. The very same thing is true with an education. lf you use it, it will always be a source of pleasure and will be useful to you and to those who live around you, but if you do not put it to use, it is soon forgotten and will be of little value. Time will tell what use you have made of what you have learned while here at Chilocco but then it will be too late if you have not taken advantage of the skills and knowledge learned while in our school. I am writing this brief ,greeting for your little class booklet, the Chil- occoan, which, when printed, will make a written as well as pictorial record of your high school days. l hope you will read and reread this booklet from time to time so it will serve as a reminder of the things you did well while you were students at this school. I hope that it will stimulate you to do bigger and better things as graduates. lt now looks as if there will be 87 graduates in this year's class--49 boys and 38 girls-not a very big class. ln this year's class we have one member who represents the third generation to attend the Chilocco School which, as you know, was started in 1884. The fathers and mothers of many of this year's graduates attended this school, and the value of the total train- ing of the people who have been students in this school is hard to measure but it certainly has played a very important part in the gradual raising of the living standards of the Indian people. In this year's class we have at least five girls who are definitely planning to take nurse's training and at least ten boys who will go on to college besides several others who plan to take up special courses above the high school level. There is one unusual thing about this class. For the first time in the history of the school every honor student in the senior class comes on the boys' side of the list. Most years in the past it has been top heavy the other way--the girls have been in the majority, but for some reason the boys in this class seem to have a monopoly on the top grades, and undoubtedly, your valedictorian and salu- tatorian will be boys. You have a fine class motto: Either we will find a way or make one. lf you would actually live the thought in that motto, nothing could keep you from succeeding. You have called yourselves the '49ers. What a wonderful thing it would be if you could do as worthwhile a job as the real '49ers did when they opened up this midwestern country. Remember that when you leave the doors of the Chilocco Indian Agri- :ultural School you literally leave your protected guidance behind, for what- ever you do in the future will be more or less on your own initiative and your own responsibility with very little personal tutorage from the people you will look to for future educational or business guidance. lt has been a pleasure to be your superintendent and l hope you will join the ranks of the Chilocco Alumni Association with the sincere desire to make your diploma mean something. 7 Office Staff Afdvnk Charles l-l. Laughlin, Chief Clerk Miss Beulah Neet, Purchasing Clerk Claude Hayman, Cash Clerk Mrs. Jean l-lamburger, Secretary to the Superintendent The Main Office building is one of the smallest on the campus but there is no doubt that it is one of the most important, for from the Main Office, through the efforts of the employees working there, go all purchase orders for supplies and cquipment to keep the school well supplied and running smoothly. There, too, and in the Principal's office, are kep- the records on all af the students attending Chilocco School, and most of the correspondence for the school is handled in these offices. Many and varied are the duties of these employees I H . . , W :ffl W. if 'N i s i ' , , V i Sa . 4 ,i 3 l -1 . i - . ti V' -,' , 1:-1 i fm 1 www , Rf' 1 .,.,,X,,., ., ,, C i Miss Eyalena Sockey, Secretary to the Principal Frank Whitetree, Property Clerk Mrs. Elsie Shilling, Clerk-Stenographer 8 N i ERNEST C. MUELLER Principal lwemories of Clvvilocco At my desk in I-laworth l-lall, I ponder tasks both great and small. And so, this morning, l am face to face With the problem of filling up this space. You came to Chilocco from far and near For knowledge, training and experiences dear. I-low well acquired depends upon you, For campus and buildings do not make a school. Where classes were met with regularity Much progress was made as all can see. But there were a few who tried to shirk, And readily found themselves in the mirk. ln vocations of agriculture, home economics and trades All had an opportunity to work and make grades. For it was here that skills were developed true, Just because each was given a chance and job to do. But is was life on the campus and in dormitories too, That brought out the best and true characters in you. l-lere you learned to work and to play, And so with Chilocco l hope your memories will stay. 9 f 1 The Advisory Departments RAY COLGLAZIER Boys' Adviser MRS. MARY FRANCES WERNEKE Girls' Adviser The home life of the Chilocco student is spent in the homes spoken at as Home l, ll, Ill, IV, V and VI. ln the homes the living is much the same as in the homes with their parents. The boy or girl receives counsel from the advisers and assistants on many personal matters. Students re h' ' p sent t eir grade cards to advisers much the same as, when living at home, they would to their parents. Home lite including games, recreation, study periods, relaxation, per- sonal ' ' ' care and many other home activities take place in the student homes.

Life in the dormitories places responsibility upon the individual, from personal :are to maintaining standards for group living. Their rooms are of special interest and con- cern to the individual. Here indvidual likes and dislikes are expressed rather freely. The student is permitted to decorate and maintain his room in a very simple manner or he may choose to add pictures, decorations, and trimmings to his taste so long as it conforms to normal healthy living. Above we see pictured Amos Factor doing a little brush-up work before retiring. John Vale, a member of the tennis team, looks over his racket before leaving the dormitory for a few games on one of the courts. Richard Schell holds down the top bunk of a double decker for a few moments of relaxation on a Sunday afternoon, Jess Boles, -dressed in levis, the regulation garb of the l-lill-Billy Band, is lost in a Westerner. Eugene Howe looks into space from his perch on the rim of the campus fish pool. l-le is, no doubt, thinking of that last boxing match held at Chilocco. Last but not least we find Lee Roy Bacon busily catching up on his studies. Lee Roy's activities as president of the student council make it necessary that he plan his work well. Each bays' dormitory has a democratic form of government with their leaders' being elected. All matters pertaining to their dormitory are discussed by the boys. Study and re- creational periods are provided. A House-Mather lives in each dormitory with the bays to aid them in every way possible. . 12 5 .yn n-A GIRLS' ACTIVITIES The boys and girls have many opportunities to learn the social graces of living. The upper picture shows Jack Wilson, Norman DeRoin, Lois Glory, Eldon DeRoin, and Joyce Nelson at a refreshment table at the Practice Cottage. Center picture: Bonnie Kate Bell, a Cherokee from Mississippi, in the snow. The upper right picture shows the Group Leaders of Home 5. These girls work with the Adviser in making the girls feel happier and helping in many ways with the Home. The girl leaders are elected by the girls in the Home. Reading from left ta right: Addie Cunning- ham, Head Group Leader, First Semester, Grace Ben, Harriet Poorhorse, Head Group Leader, Second Semester, Delores Jimmy, Mary Ann Greenwood, Frances Choate, Bettie Owens, Emerydean Eades, Juanita Walters, Mrs, Mary F. Werneke, Adviser. The girls enjoy many moments of relaxation in the homes. Lower left picture shows left to right, Rosemary Wano, Frances Choate, Mary Ann Greenwood, Grace Ben, Sarah Jane Thompson enjoying the papers and radio. Every girl is given the opportunity to use her imagination and individuality in her room. Shown center, Wanda Seabolt and Sadie Seabolt, sisters, at their dressing table designed by Sadie. As in any home the housekeeping needs to be done. Lower right shows Bettie Owens with the polisher shining the floor while Emerydean Eades follows with a dust mop. Every girl has her part to do in the home to keep it looking neat all the time. 13 Health illn- Miss Aagot Marie Knudsen, R. N., Nurse in Charge. Dr, L. E. Lyon, D. D. S., Contract Dentist. Mrs. Eleanor Snell, Hospital Attendant. W G. Weston, M. D., F. A. C. P., Contract Physician, The School Infirmary is staffed by a Contract Physician, Nurse, Dentist, and Attendant There are two clinic periods daily, morning and afternoon, to take care of daily routine treatments. Students who are ill are given hospital care, and isolation is provided for communica- ble diseases. Surgical cases are referred to the Pawnee Indian l-lospital, or to the local hos- pital in Arkansas City, Kansas, after the parents' permission has been obtained. ln cases of emergency where parents cannot be reached, the Superintendent has the authority tc grant permission. Preventive and remedial work include physical examinations for all students when thex enroll, immunizations against typhoid fever and small pox, Wasserman tests for all students' :hest x-rays for all athletes before they enter into any kind of competitive sports. The State X-Ray Mobile Unit generally manages to come once a year, everyone on the campus has his x-ray taken at that time. First aid supplies are provided for all student homes and shops. Classes in First Aid are offered at intervals for both students and employees. 1 ff . 2 . 'Ei f ev '2 +L . 54.

The girls in the department have opportuniti. to become members of these clubs. 1 The department also sponsors a general assembly, a party and a style show, and assists with other school parties, teas and social activities on the campus. Special dinners for clubs, classes and other school organizations are prepared and served by the girls in the foods classes in co-operation with the school cafeteria. Each year an outstanding senior girl is selected to represent the Home Economics de- partment. The award is based on scholarship, personality, leadership, ancl citizenship. 41 The pictures below show some of the members of the assembly program furnished by the Home Economics Department. ln the lower left picture Addie Cunningham is announcing the numbers while Frances Choate is operating the controls. ln the upper left Juanita Walters is shown at the piano accompanying Olivia Warrior.

JOSEPI-IINE WAPP JUG-Q, Instructor Weaving is, indeed, an art, and requires much patience and constant effort on the part of the worker. To the general public, Indian Weavers or Indian weaving means the Indians of the Southwestern part of the United States, but to Chilocco and Oklahoma, weaving means the manufacture of articles by hand through the use of ,the loom. Fleece is first tglien from the sheep and carefully washed and corded. Then it is spun into yarn and finally itis woven into a finished afghan, tie, rug, or material for a suit, dress, shirt or other article for everyday use. The Chilocco Weavers have produced many fine ma- terials and articles during the past few years, but these materials and articles are in such demand by the general public that very little is on hand at any given time. 5 , ' -, + .rl L V. , .525 ,E F7527 LA in . , I t?f.gf,f1:, TT' I I i Lena Amos, a Freshman, does finger weaving.

Trainees in the various trades have the opportunity to acquire knowledge in science, mathematics, social studiesand English as related courses. Class room theory is given in relation to a trades course and each trade maintains an up-to-date andrtully equipped shop laboratory where students participate in projects similar to those ot the industrial field which will be encountered when the student leaves school.

Also with the aid of the student council the club has tried to make the school as a whole, the student body, more conscious that every one enrolled at Chilocco is part of the school and that all must do their part, individually and collectively. The club has grown to where its members are representatives of most all the four classes. More and more freshmen each year are making themselves eligible for membership by making one of the four athletic teams that Chilocco sponsors, and earning letters, which makes them eligible for membership. 62 N The Student Council mmm STUDENT COUNCIL 1948-49 Front Row: William Jessie, Charles Underwood, LeeRoy Bacon, President, Lois Glory, Richard Schell, Johnny Morgan.

Council members represent all departments and classes of the school. Regular meetings are held weekly in a council room set aside for such meetings in Haworth Hall. Business matters dealt with include student entertainment, policies, campus controls and good fellowship programs. Membership is held by popular vote of class, department or home members. A class or or- ganization has the right to recall a member if cause can be established and likewise the council can ask that a member be relieved of membership for non-performance of duties. lt is indeed an honor to serve as a member of the Chilocco Student Council. Installation of Student Council members comes early in the school term. Above is pictured the Candlelight ceremony held in September l948. Each member takes a pledge ond is issued a Council pin which is the official badge of the organization. The I947-48 council sponsored the erection and dedication of a World War ll Memoral. Each year the Memorial is Re-dedicated on Armistice Day. This ceremony is pictured above as presented in l 948. Winners, in the best costumes contest held annually in connection with the Hallowe'en Party sponsored by the council, are shown with their o'possum and hound dog G5 they ODDSGFQCI Gt the l94B showing. ln addition to the student council each dormitory is staffed by group leaders. These student officers are in charge of certain areas of the home and campus, and assist materially in student government. ln recognition of their services 0 party is held annually by the council for the group leaders. Above are pictured group le0dGfS Gnioying games at the social. Winter sports at Chilocco are not confined to indoor activities but quite often during the yeor the ground is covered with snow and ice. The winter ot '48 and '49 was no 6XCSDfl0n in this respect, for even more snow and ice covered the spacious grounds. Boys and Qlfls soon revived the customs of playing such games as fox and geese, sleding, skating! Gnd even a few sott snow balls were hurled at favorite friends. 64 'S Student A ctivities Christmas time at Chilocco is one to be remembered by the many who do not have an opportunity to travel to distant homes. Each class room plans an activity and program which is held during the afternoon of the lost day before the holidays. Then on Christmas Eve all of the students gather in the dining room for an hour of relaxation and the age-old custom of receiving treats. Above we see pictured a group of girls seated around a dining room table enjoying a bit of conversation after having received sacks containing candies, nuts, and fruit distributed by Santa Claus. Special music is provided by several groups from the vocal and instrumental music classes of the school. The boys' quartet comprised of Charles Underwood, Dyton Good, William Jessie and John Davis were always willing to add their bit in rendering vocal selections whether it be a party, religious meeting, or civic program. While mentioning special groups, special recognition should be given to the Veterans' Club and its officers. This group of young men have given much to life on the campus and are recognized for their earnest desire and effort to get an education and be a part of the regular student body. Many interesting scenes appeared at the various departmental parties held during the year. Boys responsible for this fine art work are many, but Teddy Draper, an ex-leather neck, and John Huskett, an ex-gob, must be given credit for most of the fine scenery. Here they are shown with one of their creations Slow Boat to China, Other interesting scenes in- cluded many of western and mountainous as well as oriental and tropical subiects. 65 I Y ,,,, - 41 ,A f vf. in ogre- Z, , 52 FY ,- 5 fu KX gf HKS SWQBXUKMAXX XnY'x1xNYxxxuX S1 ? f Q , Q42 if sf I .ee N Faculty Snaps 50 l, --4'l2 5f7.'2Lff',5- ,f 7255 I 'If 5 1 .,', '- vuff' HAZ: '35, q1'i,,J 'L.W. 572 if sin 1 1 ' f - llf -z-23+ -' 4' f ff V if L 'V . -' v ',.C-jci r , K I l li Q l x ?x M flight' hu 1- -Q. l rf!
