, i. - f hs f E. f D dicaition The Senior Class of 1929 dedicates this volume of The Indian to the crumbling landmarks of older generat- ions,-red men and white, that people- ed this countryg to the-fast disappear- ing wild life of prairie, woods, and streamg and to the passing traditi- ons of this section ofthe Middle XVest. An occasional rail fence, still stand- ing, weather-beaten but a brave reminder of the neers who built homes in ness and compassed the deserted school house by a decaying monument to staunch, is sturdy pio- the wilder- range. The the road is the people who foresaw the power in knowledge. The historian and the poet have lefl some record of the life, the customs of our forefathers, but no written memorial has caught the spirit of these pioneers as our imagination knows it. The dedication of this year book is a humble token of our ap- preciation ol' the early history of this part cf our native state.

The title ol' the lrook, The Indian, is more than just the name, or a symbol. lt re- presents a spirit, and that spirit sug- gests the splendid history which lies hack of the community in which we live. Patriot and poet of our native state have spun golden threads which are all interwoven with the pattern of our nation's history. These.we shall be able to trace asuwe grow in knowledge. Often, however, we fail to appreciate the significance of that which is close at hand. Therefore, we have attempt- ed to gather together such bits of local history as we can record by sketch, photograph, and printed word. We do itwith the hope that we may help our school fellows to realize more fully the dignitynand the romance which is a large part of our background. 5. Zi! 7 '.c, .

In May A , xy ' 'KWM ' ' 5 1929 the property which includes Mounds Park ' was purchased for the purpose of establishing a 'N ' e State Park.
