THE CHILOCCOAN 1962 FORWARD People On The Way Up” John Glenn, America’s foremost astronaut was not the only one who went up this year. All over the United States people have been going up — maybe not into outer space but advancing to greater knowledge, to better positions and new achievements. Chilocco has assisted with this upward and forward movement by helping Indian boys and girls. The post graduate program has been expanded, the program for students below the ninth grade has been revised, and the physical plant has been improved. Related to these improvements, Indian youths have shown that they are interested in raising their level of education by accepting training in the many specialized fields offered at Chilocco. In addition to the school offering an opportunity for students to learn basic information, students may also explore some aspects of personality development which perhaps may assist them in life. It can be said that Chilocco often gives students a foothold where previously there has been none, but it is up to the individual to climb and keep climbing as far as possible. The 1962 Chiloccoan is given to students with the hope that they will continue to be People On The Way Up”. 1
