Chemawa Prints Project Day 23

I continue to work through the envelope. I am currently digitizing the twenty-first envelope.

CH 2283 is a stunning print. It shows two female students, one with a blindfold over her eyes. They stand in front of a chalkboard; a reindeer is drawn on the board. Are they playing a game like pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey ?

CH 2976 and many other nearby prints are labeled "Fry bread sale in classroom." To whom did the students sell fry bread? Did they receive the profits? Was it a fundraising event?

There a few peculiar prints of adults with a device (CH 2324). One student in the past thinks they are doing "NBC training." This would refer to nuclear, biological, and chemical defense training. What was the precedent for this particular instance? CH 2324 is interesting because it seems like the adult on the right is fooling around with the instrument.

Print CH 2336 stands out because it depicts four students performing in traditional regalia.

I came across the first print that I can recall of the student band playing in a classroom -- CH 2378.

2301-2400, 2921-3000/3226
