N the fall following the pleasant summer of 1902, a new tribe took its place in the circle about Old Alfred's council fire. Strong and sturdy were its braves, beautiful and good its maidens. There were orators with keen,clear minds among them. There were fierce warriors ofthe gridiron and supple artists ofthe diamond. There were maidens good to see. There were shrewd veterans of the platform. 'THESE were men and maidens who could do things. TI-Us was the tribe ofSiczes. Their power and influence grew and Hourished as victory after victory perched upon the banner ofthe Blue and White. Fresh in the minds of the tribe of the preceeding year is that memorable event ofthe morning of October SIXTH when the tribe Siczes marshalled its men and maidens for feast and fray. The banquet was spread, the feast enjoyed, song and story circled the festive board, the toasts sparkled with wit and humor, the yell was given. All was over. But no tribe of Phives was there. The spirit of sleep had seduced those tired warriors and their scalps hung from the belts ofthe Siczes. Memories too ofthe battle of the Gridiron and of the struggle on the battlefield ofthe Diamond surge back across the mind of the tribe and they shrink again as they seem to hear the triumphant warwhoop ofthe Siczes. A vivid picture comes too of that flag of Blue and White waving its victorious folds above Memorial Hall. The Procs! Do they remember those procs-those innocent braves ofthe tribe of Sevn? How they worked to remove the last vestige of them. How they dug and scraped and swashed, discomfiture adding beauty to their faces. The procs came off but not until the city fathers had come, had seen, had laughed. ' Banquets! Yes the Siczes are adepts in the art and held one more in 1903. The Sevns galloped their horses up and down the town striving to attend. Too late however, they realized the superior generalship of the Siczes. They were beaten-those Sevns. All these and more valiant deeds have the warriors of the tribe of Siczes accomplished. These are the marks upon the plastic mass of college life which make the Siczes THOSE wHo CAME, wHo saw, wno CONQUERED. And as they have conquered in the past so will they do in the future, for up from the yales of future time we hear echoing and re- echoing back over the years that are to come the triumphant war- whoop of those mighty braves of the tribe of Siczes: Wahoo! 'Wahool Zis, Boom, Bix I Yell, We Yell, For A, U. 'O6. 30
