16112 Snphnmnre Gllasz 31-Iiztnrg In the Indian summer of 1914, a tribe of Indian braves and fair maidens joined the Four nations of the great league of A. H. S. This tribe of youths was called Freshmen by the other tribes and was not allowed to sit at the council fires of the league. At the first assemblage of all the tribes, Chieftain Willett instructed and advised all his people in regard to their conduct. He made it clear that if the Great Peace should continue no rivalry nor jealousy should exist among the tribes. The Fresh- men heeded the advice of the wise chief and profited much. In January, 1915, a small band of half breeds was allowed to join the League. These half breeds were looked down upon by the upper tribesmen but strove so hard to learn the manners and customs of the Four Nations that some of them were adopted by the Freshmen tribe. In the spring of '15, the Senior tribe withdrew from the League and went to con- quer new territories. In the same month the tribes people of the League were dispersed for three moons. When they returned a new chief of chiefs was choosen. The Freshmen tribe was now given the name of Sophomores, a name they honored. A new tribe from an inferior league was given the name of Freshmen. Chieftain Kies, the new chief, now permitted the Sophomores to choose from among them, a Sophomore chief and other tribal officers. Pennington, a Sophomore warrior, was chosen. This brave's sire was the chief of the Indians that claimed the right to the large tract of land purchased by Wm. Penn. Penn dealt so squarely with these Indians that the chief named his son Pennington. QThe word originally meant Wind, in the Iroquois languagej Patterson was chosen Councilor to the Chief, Gray to collect and disburse the wampum of the tribe. Miss Lamey of the League's nobility was selected as advisor of the Sophomores in their various camp-fire councils and conquests. The Sophomores furnished many warriors for the main fighting force of the League. Five of them were rewarded with the emblem A for their brave deeds. The Sopho- more Pow-wow, which was held at the Gray tee-pee on the old Hiteman trail, was one that made the other warriors envy the Sophomores. Three days were set aside for the annual basket-ball contest between the tribes. In this the Sophomores were victorious, defeating all opposing teams by many points.
