Qeptember Activates 9tudent Life As summer faded into fall, the Cherokee nation, with its enrollment of 2218 students, gradually trans- formed itself into a united Indian reservation. Septem- ber brought many changes to SH. Mr. Frank Clark, principal-elect, headed a new administrative organiza- tion of three units, foundation, college preparatory, and vocational and technical divisions. This new program was designed to provide each student with a saleable skill or for college entrance. Aside from academic responsibilities, students in- volved themselves in spirited activities of various clubs and organizations. A barrage of candy, license plate, ribbons, and notebook sales characterized the first month of school. Also, many students journeyed to Corpus Christi for the only out-of-town football game.
