Senior Class Prophecy 0 We, the Senior Tribe of 1950, have an encampment site standing on a forest hillside. In this camp are nine Indians who have drastically changed the Indian customs and have civil- ized the Fort Lebanon Tribe. Chief Squaw Mrs. Hummel tried to prevent these nine Indians from changing the Fort Lebanon Tribe, but her efforts were in vain because Squaw Irene Kilmer is now designing and making the new Paris-style dresses for the tribe's women. She has completely enchanted the tribe with her dressmaking, and has brought some civilization into the tribe. One day she was asked to mend an admiral's coat, and much to her surprise, she found the admiral to be her old Indian chum, Bruce Kilmer, of the United States Navy. Admiral Kil- mer is visiting the encampment to see what happened to his Indian friends of long ago. Upon leaving Squaw Irene, he decided to enter the tent named Clipper. Here he im- mediately recognized another old friend of his, Paleface Eugene Klinger, who had ventured into civilization and returned to the encampment as a barber. Many of the young palefaces now walk about with a crew cut. After leaving the Clipper tent he decided to visit Chief Squaw Mrs. Hummel, who pre- pared some herb stew and baked buffalo for him. About an hour after he left the chief squaw's hut, he felt feverish and ill. He entered the tent of the Medicine Man and inquired about having his temperature taken. The Medicine Man then called his assistant squaw, Nurse Elaine Heffner. Once again Admiral Kilmer was surprised to see another of his Indian chums engaged in bringing civilization one step closer to the encampment. While in conversation with Squaw Elaine, two pretty young Waves entered the office, thinking this tent to be the Bar-X. Much to Admiral Kilmer's sur- prise, he recognized that these two former Indian friends had joined his branch of the serv- ice. They are Lt. Fern Heinbach and Lt. Margaret Hummel. They were all sitting and dis- cussing the drastic changes that their former Indian chums had made in the Fort Lebanon Tribe and Encampment. Nurse Elaine mentioned that close by, Squaw Claire Ann Seigfried was teaching English in a tent to the young Indians. Upon hearing this, they all decided to visit her tent and see how she had progressed. Squaw Claire Ann had just completed her last class for the day and was surprised to see her former Indian chums. They all conversed for a brief time till Admiral Kilmer mentioned he had to leave. Admiral Kilmer arrived at the horses' stalls and harnessed Hickok, his horse, for the journey back to civilization. As he started to ride, he realized his horse was lame and imme- diately returned to the encampment and sought for someone to tape the horse's leg. He was directed to the tent called Horse Sense and as he entered, a squaw stenographer stepped forward and told him to enter the doctor's office. The stenographer, to his surprise, was another of his latter chums, Squaw Shirleyann Heim. When once inside the doctor's office he recognized the veterinarian who was Squaw lean Bailey, the last of the original Indian nine. After Hickok's leg was taped, he was able to return Admiral Kilmer on his journey to civilization. As Admiral Kilmer rode away, he took one last look at the encampment site of the Senior Tribe of 1950 standing on a forest hillside. TWENTY-TWO
