The Origin of indian Names r Bear Chief, a YVinnebago chief of the tribe living in Wisrrorlsin, tells this story of names and their meaning. f'First,7' he says, uthere are birth names. These are the same in all families of the Winnebago tribe. The first male child is called Ku-nu, the second He-nu, the third Ha-ga, and the fourth Nan-Xi. These names are listed in a group of four be- cause to us four is a sacred number. The Hfth child is called the fourth oneis little brother, that is Little Nan-Xi. The fifth would be Little, Little Nan-Xi, the sixth would have yet another Little added to his name and on and on. MThe girls, names are also of the sacred number.. They are: Hi-nu, Wi-ha, Ak-sia-ga, and Hi-nunha. The fifth girl is named in the same manner as the fifth boy. ln other words she would be Little Hi-nunka. ln the same way are the others named, another Little being added as the number advances. uThe ser-ond system of naming is by clans or groups of families. It was be- lieved by our forefathers that when the Great Spirit created the earth and all things on it, he also created the people. Because it was hard to distinguish between one another, we were told to choose a name. And so, each is named after some color or habit. HThe clans which are named after the things of the earth or the water are known as the lower clans. Those named after the birds or the thunder are of the upper clans. Each clan has its own work to perform. Some are Warriors, some runners, some chiefs, some medicine men. But not one is better than the other in name. HA name may also bc earned for bravery or some other great deed. If the enemy comes and one man shows himself to be outstanding in fighting against them, he may choose any name appropriate for the deed which he has done. The people of the tribe will show their respect by calling him by this name. HThere is yet a fourth way to gain a name. Should one be worthless or lazy, with no ambition in life, or should one be a thief or a liar. he will be named accord- ingly by the people. To his birthname will be added the word for the bad habit, such as fKu-nu, the Cowardi, or worse. Even though the bad habit is corrected, the name will stay forever. So, always, one must avoid such disgracefj -By Marcella Kalzm. Quill Club Member. .,. l 1-r v Page Twenty-eight

-1-nn 1 5 4 The Junior Corridor Officers r The efficiency of the Junior High Corridor Officers has increased by leaps and bounds since last year. There is a reason for everything, and Mrs. Winifrecl Bolm is the reason for the marked success in the case. Her experience as supervisor of the Senior High force in previous years has been manifest in the capability of the Junior High force in its second year of existence. Mr. John Hawkins relieved Mrs. Bolm of this responsibility about January 25. Since then Mr. Hawkins has followed in the footsteps of his predecessor, and several minor wrinkles have been ironed out. The officers are headed by their captain, Leverett Russler, and are bound to several important duties. Besides keeping order in the Junior High Building, they must direct traffic both to and from assemblies, see that no one loiters in the halls after 8:25 A. M., attend the weekly Thursday morning meetings and, of course, con- duct themselves at all times in such a way as to make other pupils look up to them. After the officers are appointed by Mr. Hawkins, Captain Russler decides upon their stations. Ninth grade Corridor Officers are automatically transferred to the Senior High force at the end of the year.
