The cover of the yearbook is a picture of a silver Indian dancer, we placed it there to show how proud we are and to represent us and our school. The divider pages are pictures of places located on our beautiful Chilocco cam- pus and the themes that go with them are made up by the members of the Year- book class. Look through the book and learn of our lives, our thoughts and our ways, as we are today. Remember today the Indian has much to be proud of as the 1974 Chiloccoan talks about “Chilocco Indian School.” - ‘ v . ! •« i • i 1 HP ‘ - «•£ ■ f - £ • - V. -V V Introduction We students this year at Chilocco are trying to make something out of our- selves and our lives. We met new friends, learned to live together, and now we know how it feels to be around our own people. When we become more of an adult, we will look back upon the past, and re- member how once it was all a part of us. Everyone will remember the times here at Chilocco. The ones who graduate from Chilocco will look back and say, “I graduated from Chilocco Indian School, and I'm proud!” Qraduation Requirements Chilocco Indian School requires 18 units for graduation.

Many of the clubs are very interesting and enjoyable. The most popular organization is the Indian Club. It offers an opportunity for stu- dents to express themselves culturally in their dances and songs. Once of the newest organization on campus is the Good Tyme Club. It deals with students who are interested in alcoholism and drug abuse. This club helps the students to overcome drug and to understand the effects of alcohol. Chilocco has an active recreation center which is employed by students. Several new games have been added for students’ pleasure.

All areas are taught by certified personnel, many with certificates in more than one area. Vocational teachers teach under a Trade and Industrial certificate. Of the thirty-three teachers, thirteen have a Masters’ degree. There are five Language Arts teachers, two math teachers, two science teachers, two social studies teachers, two business teachers, two home economic teachers, four physical educa- tion teachers and ten vocational instructors. Other areas include music, art, drivers education and foreign language. I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to students and staff for bearing the burdens at Chilocco until my arrival. Now we can begin to develop a real- istic and meaningful future, capitalizing on an “aware- ness” that changes must take place. To the Seniors of 1974. I say “Congratulations” as you add to the list of Chilocco's alumni and begin life en- deavors with much more independence than ever be- fore in your life. I also say that you will continue to bear burdens, but finding fewer people helping you bear them. It has almost reached the point where all decisions affecting your life will be made entirely by you. To the students and staff who return, we must con- tinue. but face the realities of needed changes. These needed changes will be planned together to maximize use of local ideas and suggestions. Some changes have already occurred, namely the demolition of nine facil- ities. This itself has perpetuated other changes; how- ever, much more is in store. When changes develop in technology, it most often requires changes for other institutions. When educa- tional research reveals facts, educational institutions should adjust to needed changes. In view of facts that approximately eighty percent of all occupations do not require a college degree, it is farcial to say all Indian students should get a degree With these few facts in mind. Chilocco should plan needed adjustments. It must be able to prove to students that what we offer is meaningful and needed. We should provide opportuni- ties for wider explorations by students through experi- ence, to help determine a possible future occupation. With these as examples of a fe possible changes, we must also beef up existing proven programs. For those who return next school year we hope some areas will not be recognized. This will mean that we are adding to Chilocco’s rich tradition rather than being that tra- dition. It is time for renewal. I hope all of us will spend some time thinking about this. As the doors open for the Fall term, let us be prepared. Let us push forward with- out looking back. Let us stay together in our thinking, and efforts, in striving to accomplish Chilocco’s educa- tional goals, which are designed to be realistic and meaningful to our students. Let us face the challenges headon and share in the cultural heritage of our Indian students. Only when we understand its meaning, will we fully appreciate it. 73 Mr. Francis Drexel, represents the Osage tribe on the school board. The board meets once a month, us- ually in the Men’s Club.
