God save our chief, and bless this land NVith plenty, joy, and peace, And grant henceforth that weak minds r Amongst noble braves may cease. VVhat a strange commotion had prevailed in the Lodge of Learning all day! 'Maidens hurried hither and thitherg braves did likewise and a general upheaval existed everywhere. The peace pipe had just cooled from being smoked by the Great Chief, beckoning us all to a. ten moon council. Members of the Winabaga tribe, having become braves and maidens, had arrived prepared for the worst. Each had his spear, his bow, his quiver, his battle axe, and his knife, and each had also a shield of hides which he might don in case of a surprise attack from the hostile Pawnees who had preceded them by twelve moons. Tense was the excitement., for the maidens and braves had great diiiiculty in finding the many wigwams mentioned on the birch bark scrolls. In the largest of the lodges they gathered for a council fire to choose temporary leaders. They promptly elected Wabasso Tuttle chief, and Nyoda Flinton delegate to sit at the council fires of the other tribes. Q7

1927 The Leonfine 1927 These noble leaders encouraged their people t.o participate in competitions with their neighbors. In athletics the Winabagoes took a big part in sounding the warwhoops, if not in the actual battles. However, Sacco Starret and Big-Blouse Andrews excelled in football and later Light-Foot Keville came in third in the road race. Five moons had elapsed undertemporary leadership when the time came for the serious undertaking of choosing a permanent chief and helper. Ki lNIoran and lvinna Anderson were named. Honors of a. different. nature soon fell to Never-Laughs Goodhue and Kewane Bell who shot downi' algebra prizes. Then it was time for the tribes to depart upst.ream to their summer haunts for the Deer and Sturgeon llloons. lVhen the Fruit llloon had shone on them for eight days, they again paddled downstream to t.he big wigwam. This was the time for the lllinnebago tribe to play the part of warriors to the incoming freslmian tribe. lVarfare was suspended long enough for elect.ions at which they made Light-Foot. Keville chief, and Ki Moran tribe delegate. During this year a few members of the tribe were able to help produce a vaudeville given by all the tribes. but they hope t.o do more in later years when some of their number will be the Big Chiefs of the Lodge.
