Uraibi, Arizona April 1, 1955 hir. Kenneth llIarmon Sherman Institute b Riverside, California p Dear Sir: I may be ate in wri ing you working on a new school for the Navajos, when I received your letter. Of course you can see what my education has meant to me since leaving Sherman. I have alwavs followed the carpenter trade whichl learned under differentfinstructors there. I sure appreciate the training, and I'm glad I got I ' 't' this letter but I was away on ajob at Pinon the opportunity and took it. I have worked at many places since those days at schoolp in towns and on the Hopi Reservation. I held the foreman's job on carpenter work under the E.C.W., and in the P.W.A. as bridge foreman. All my help was Indian labor. Last summer I enjoyed having at one time all former Sherman students. I now have a group working under me here on this new Navajo day school. ' -Ray Seumptewa, '21 Waano Cano Uoseph Theodore N oonanl, famous Cherokee Indian artist, became 4 member of the Sherman alumni family by taking as his bride last winter Christine Reuben, '52. Superintendent Donald H. Biery attended the wedding at Los Angeles. Waano Gano has many artistic honors to his credit, among them the distinction of designing the Indian Honor Award medals pre- sented to the greatest living Indian at the Chicago Century of Progress. He also exhibited his work at the Century of Progress. l , -. -f if . ., ' ' .1 ' - A 3-fr ,jg . 5 ' 'ff ,. K 4 1 4 '4- 1' ,-'H 3, I A. la I? 47.13 ' I .f .X 5. .J,,.,l.., -ian . ,. 1.

Many learn too late and to their sorrow that time wasted in school is dearly paid for . . . As1 write these lines 1 think not of what little success 1 may have had but what 1 could have acquired while attending Sherman . . . Having been on a reservation for several years, 1 have had excellent opportuni- ty to study returning students. 1 would say this: Choose the line of work you desire and have some' adaptability for and master it. H' Be not content with whatever degree of efficiency you may acquire . . . Sherman is a splendid training institution. My sincere thanks go out to the instructors who tried to give me more than 1 sometimes gave the proper attention for assimilating . . . It is incumbent upon the studentsito create the demand for training and Sher- man Institute will do the rest.-Emil Benson, '14 -Twenty-ihree'
