Life At Intermountain Indian School During the past week a feature article on a Navajo Indian student at the Intermountain Indian school has been under preparation for the (it will appear soon). It was our idea that following a student through a days activity would best illustrate the activities at the school, and perhaps an insight into the childrens unusual way of News-Journ- al i life. . It has certainly been a satisfying experi- ence. Miss Wilma Victor, principal of the elementary school, picked a student to act as the subject and pose for the pictures. His name is Jimmy Begay and he hails from a hogan located not too far from Santa Fe, New Mexico. His father is a veteran and has a little education himself. Jimmy is in the third grade at the Intermountain Indan School for he attended school on the reservation previously for two years. He is 13 years old. Though it wasnt accomplished in one day, we sat in on most of the activities that Jimmy goes through each day. ' - The over-a- ll most impressive thing of the venture was the enthusiasm the youngsters exhibited in each of their activities. It nt hard to see that the Indian school is a tremendous success in the eyes of the students They love it. Like any youngsters, Jimmy liked swimming and basketball better than reading and writing. ' (And incidentally those youngsters will one day have basketball teams to compare with high schools around here if they keep progressing as they are now.) An unusually excellent student, Jimmy now reads well, writes in excellent penmanship, and draws and paints beautiful scenes of his home country. With the exception of the drawing, he is now further progressed than most of the Indians on the Navajo council, the ruling body of the Navajos, for most of them cannot write or even speak English. We watched Jimmy write a check for 50 cents and cash it at the student bank. He has a deposit of about $3.00 and when his deposit gets a little low he writes his pop back at home (just like any boy away from home at school) for a couple of extra bucks. Because his father is a little better off than most Navajos he usually receives it. Jimmy seems to be one of the more popular students at the school. Recently they held an election for student councilmen and all of the kids in his class got out and campaigned for him as vigorously as the Democrats did for Thomas. Different than Thomas, Jimmy won the election with more votes than any other candidate. Sociologists have expressed amazement that the Indian school can be successful for the deal sociological conditions, they theorize, is built around a family group. At the Indian school, a casual observer would surmise, the students are regimented and have little of the tender affection so necessary in a childs life. That is not true. Each of the children there knows at least five adults intimately, besides all of. the members of their class and home rooms. The house father and mother of each dorm and the school teacher are the vital trio, whose affection and care makes life happy for the kids. And from our observations the vital trio cannot help but love the youngsters, and they practically always do. It is interesting to note that is a very minor problem at the Indian school testifying to the success of the i Brigham City, Wednesday, December 13. 1950 A weekly newspaper, established in 1896, published at Brigham City, Utah.

The cab was all littered with cigarette butts, plus candy and gum wrappers. This annoyed the Judge and he spoke to the driver about it. To his surprise the cabman answered right back.
