there is PRIDE in HERITAGE . . . Down across this land, drained by the noblest of rivers, called the Father of Wa- ters, Hows a ceaseless stream of living history. Ours is Arnericais heartland. Symbols live in names dotting this temperate region which belongs to us. A Spaniard gave the river's name to historians: Mississippi. A Frenchman first wrote the name of the territory: Illinois. But the names were not of the Old Wlorld. These names belong to the American Indians whose land this was. Wle, the logical heirs of hardy pioneers. proudly open the pages of an age now bygone. Here at the confluence of the Rock River and the Mississippi, one Indian tribe and one man rise above all others. The tribe: the Sauk. The man: Black Hawk - Black Hawk, chief and mighty warrior! Proudly, we symbolize our school with the name: Black Hawk College. As proudly, we name our yearbook, Tliz' Sauk. Wle pray these shining symbols of a distant past find new and richer substance here: now, and in the days to come. . . .
