CALAVAN, Superintendent Message Three hundred years ago this country in which we now live was the abode ot a few hundred tlieusind indians, wha lived mostly oft the Coun- try. Such a mode of existence required a large fTYl x'llY'l of lwnd m feed and clothe even Ji lew people. The lnflian boy was taught many things, and these things he learned well, because in order to survive he rnust be a good hunter and a good warrior. However thorough his training, it was very meager compared to the education given our youth today. Twelve years of training only aive the student the tools of education and train him tor citizenship in a country supporting mil- lions, where thousands lived before. High school graduation is I1 good start, but in no way is it a substitute for a vocation. He must noxv proceed with the tools he has to learn some- thing well, in order tc survive in a world of keen competition, VVl1at1vver 1 lwoy or girl chooses as his or her vo-ation, it is cur prayer that he will pursue as issiduausly and learn as thoroughly as the Indian lucy whuse survival depended on his Cunning.

Q SJ .5 SCHOOL BOARD Mr. Francis Chervenkn. Mr Harold Fostex, Mr. Richard Fryur. Message What may we learn from the Indians? The needs of our coast Indians were easily met as food was plentiful in the form of fish, clams, and wild life, as well as berries and potatoes. Winters being mild their housing and clothing problems were simple. Travel was by canoe and they spent much time sitting around their camp fires. These indians were not very active because they did not have to be. The plains lndians were not sa well situated. Harsh winters forced them to migrate or build shelters: food had to be raised or captured and stored for the winter. They were active because they had to be. The lndif1n's life pattern was very well estab- elders lished. The young were taught by their to do those things necessary to supply food, cloth- ing anfl shelter. Education was direct and mean- ingful. They learned by cbservation 'Ind irnita- 'ion, and they succeeded and were happy to 'he degree they worked and learned. Nc!-I lock at our crwiranirieri' 'ind the area' 'arnplexity of our way cf life. For us to succfzed and be happy wc need an -id11c'z'1cn far beyond simple observation and imitation.
