June Class As young, boisterous, bubbling, over-grown papooses, we were finally admitted to the Big Wigwam where we would learn to be fine, courageous, young braves and loyal, fair, young maidens. We learned quickly every nook and cranny in the awe-inspiring tepee. Indeed, we were soon tracking down a large share of glory in the tribal ceremonies. In fact, one of our number was claimed as a fine, young brave fit to fight with the Warriors. The second harvest quickly came and passed. We now showed our benevolent squaws and patient medicine-men (teachers to every one else) that we young braves could fight and do our duty as every young Watrior should. We tracked the big game and brought home the buffalo meat. A chance at last presented itself, for by the third harvest we were ready to protect the Wigwam. Fit Warriors whose deeds might be proudly written among the legends of the tribal story-tellers. It was our very fellow braves who made up a large part of the fierce war-party which scalped the roaring Lion and the Fighting Colonels. That harvest, we took into our tribe the last of the Mohicans (I mean Lawrence-Parkers) a fine lot of husky braves and fair maidens. Now as elders of the tribe, we, with all the dignity and pomp of stately Warriors, carry on the ceremonies and faithfully fulfill the customs of our ancient and honored forefathers, as a final preparation to leaving our old camping grounds to set up our own tepee in some distant, or perhaps neighboring, forest and thus in time to send to the Wigwam, dear to our hearts, our own pafx o e to become husky Warriors beneath the guiding hand of the faithful and patient Medicine Men.
