CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH

 The Woolworth Sit In From 1960
   On February 1, 1960, four black men staged a sit in at a Woolworth counter waiting to be served. Franklin McCain and three other freshmen from the local university sat at a �white�s only� lunch counter at the Woolworth�s in Greensboro, NC. An older white woman was sitting nearby made an encouraging statement to the young men. �She says, �Boys, I am so proud of you. I only regret that you didn�t do this 10 years ago.�
   The Greensboro four were refused service that day, but they stayed there much to everyone�s amazement.
   This one protest, which led to others in more than 100 cities in 1960, lives today in a Greensboro museum built in the former Woolworth store where four young college students made history.

AWALK DOWN MEMORY LANE
  For the remainder of the school year we will be taking a walkd down "MEMORY LANE" flashing through the years of the "GREAT CHIPPEWA HISTORY."
   On to the 1968-1969 School Year
 The Principal of Chippewa Middle School was Mr. Andrew Pochodylo.
 The message in the yearbook from the principal was as follows:
 �I have in my office some famous sayings: A person who shows promise has learned how to keep them. Success comes in cans�failure comes in can�ts. Reputation helps you get a job. Character helps you keep it. Better to cause happiness where you go than to cause happiness when you go. Chippewa students can be proud of their promise, success, reputation and character. Together they spell happiness.�

  ~Chippewa �Intermediate� School still houses grades 6-8 and will continue to do so until its closure.

 ~Student Council Officers were: 1st Semester: Karen Picklehaupt, Frances Reish, Diane Regan, Diane Young.

 ~Student Council Officers were: 2nd Semester: DShelia Sutton, Cathy Booth, Sue Weiss, Melissa Langolf; Mr. Skulan was sponsor.

  ~The Chippewa Homecoming Queen was Sheila Sutton. Her court was Barbara Beattie, Peggy Wedge, Vickie Burgett, and JoAnne Herbert.

 ~There is a number of teaching staff members who continued to stay at this great school until their retirement. They included our former principal, Mr. Ed Bean, Mr. Dave Naplin, Mr. Bob Steward, Mr. Bob Sult, Mr. John Unger, Mr. Paul Williams, and Mr. Fred Witter.

   Let�s Take a Look Back to the Year 1969
   The year 1969 was a turbulent time as well as an exciting time. Some of the headliner events of that time were:
   •   Richard Nixon became President of the United States.
   • 250,000 march on Washington in protest of the Vietnam War.
   • The first man is landed on the moon on the Apollo 11 mission by the US and Neil Armstrong and Edwin �Buzz� Aldrin become the first humans to set foot on the Moon and the famous words �That�s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind�. will become mart of our history.
   • Charles �Pete� Conrad and Alan Bean of Apollo 12 land on the Moon to become the second set of American astronauts to walk on the moons surface.
   • The US institutes the draft lottery to determine draft into US Forces for Vietnam War
   • The U.S. Air Force closed its Project (Blue Book) concluding there was no evidence of UFO�s

   The Year 1969
 • Popular Culture -
   The music came from groups including the Doors, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, and the Beatles and the most famous music festival of modern times �WOODSTOCK� took place on a New York Farm on August 15th to August 17th with more than 400,000 avid music fans attending to see The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Crosby Stills Nash and Young and others perform live. Fashions reflected the anti-war sentiment with military jackets adorned with peace signs, and other trends including long unkempt wild hair and headbands showed the feelings of anti establishment felt by the youth.

 • Technology
 • • First transplant of human eye
 • • Seiko sells the first Quartz Watch
 • • The first automatic teller machine ATM is installed in the US.
 • • The Pontiac Firebird Trans Am the epitome of the American muscle car is introduced.
 • • The Microprocessor is invented opening the way for the computer revolution.
