,321 e Pat's Night School one of arshalI's night school has always been one of the largest and well- rounded evening schools in the In- dianapolis area. However enrollment has decreased due to the opening of Warren Central's night school program. lVlar- shall's has made an effort to increase their enrollment by offering a new early schedule and reducing the price per class. Night school's primary function is to provide an opportunity for students to complete their education without inter- fering with daytime employment that the pupil may be involved in. Adults or teenagers over sixteen who have not completed high school may enroll in ac- ademic courses such as math, or English in order to complete their grad uation requirements. Another function is for seniors who have failed or have not taken a class required for gradu- ation, such as government, to pick up this course in night school for the stu- dent to graduate with their class. Still another reason for entering night use xi E- 'F f' lg! ,. ,rggy , rx metro's best school is to take a class like Chemistry, which the student had not taken when in high school but needs now to enter college. In addition to the academic classes offered, the evening school division prides itself-on its personal interest courses which range from upholstery to drivers education. These classes are taken by pupils who are interested in improving skills or just getting started in a new hobby. Clifford Snyder, director of Evening School, commented The Adult Evening School gives working-married people the opportunity to continue their educa- tional needs and interests by attending evening high school. Students who find opportunities for day employment can continue their education by transfering to the evening program. -Doneva Wheeler PERSONAL interest courses like ceramics, are still another important part of the Evening School Division.

rian Johnson, Ottawa, Explorer Scout, John Marshall senior. Knowing who you are-that's important. In the American Indian Council of Indianapolis among my activities is the Pow-Wow. The Indian Pow-Wow is part of mod- ern Indian culture that reflects the pride of tradition and heritage. These gatherings are the only means an urban Indian has to contact his own society. Basically, a Pow-Wow is the highlight of Indian social life where almost every as- pect of Indian lifestyle can be found- traditional dancing, singing, dress, food, and lodging. An average dance length is about four hours. Specific styles of singing and dancing vary. Among the dances are the War Dance, The Snake, and Buffalo Dance, the Two-Step and the Trot Dance. Another aspect of the Pow-Wow are the stands and booths which display and sell jewelry, beads, feathers, buck- skins and moccasins. The trading posts provide both an insight into Indian cul- ture and a livelihood for the traders. Food booths sell fried bread, blanket dogs and corn soup. After-hour activities include a 49 which is a type of younger generation party named for 49 Indians who died in a plane crash on their way to a Pow- Wow. In a 49, songs have English verses and everyone sings and has a good time. Many misconceptions of Indian lodg- ing are shattered when one has a chance to see a real Indian tipi. Few re- alize that the tipi is a product of cen- turys of engineering which has per- fected one ofthe most durable types of shelter. All tipis face east. The Indian Council of Indianapolis is one of several Indian organizations in the country whose goal is to preserve Indian heritage. Indianapolis members include Ottawa, Ghippewa, Sioux and Cherokee. Presently the council is on a membership drive to get more Indians active in knowing their culture as well to raise the conscious thinking levels of non-Indians about Indian problems. The International Festival, Pow Wows in Illinois, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio are a few I have attended. Battle- ground, near Lafayette, is the site of one of the largest Pow-Wows in Indiana.
