The tribe followed the trail of learning in the year of one thousand nine hundred and twenty- four, which led them to the B. U. H. S. Reservation with other tribes. The maiden, Floy Hodges, succeeded William Leonesio as chief of the tribe when the latter was wounded in a fray and was able to lead his little band no more. Mr. Oakley Morris was chosen as wise man for the tribe. About seven moons ago the band had a Bow-Wow dinner at Andreas Canyon with the Junior tribe. On January 1, 1928, the Senior tribe was granted a day of feasting and revelry, while the other tribes were working hard at their tasks in the Big Wig- wam. This festival was held at Big Pines. The Senior and Sophomore tribes met in a grand debate Pow-wow in the Assembly Hall on Thursday, March 1, 1928. The Sophomore maidens made a brave stand before the Senior maidens but were badly defeated. The worthy brave, Jack McDonald, won the great championship in the County Oratorical Contest. The whole tribe is justly proud of him. His oration dealt with the enforcement of prohibition, or the abolition of fire-water. His desire was that the laws of all the tribes should be honored, not broken. The honorable Seniors have truly earned the privilege of having their portraits in the “La Revista” for the inspiration of future tribes to follow in the footsteps of a tribe which has accomplished many great things in its four years’ stay on the B. U. H, S. Reservation. The Senior tribe has an unusual vocabulary, and in spelling they won the highest percentage. About two moons ago the B. U. H. S. Reservation shone with white and green. The Senior tribes were there. The whole tribe marveled at their garb. Big Chief Moore gazed with approval until the tribe went on a pow-wow. The maidens and braves climbed on the sturdy vehicle of the reservation and went off in a cloud of dust to visit their neighboring tribe, Beaumont. Later, when the rest of the braves and maidens had gone to perform their respective duties, the Senior tribe came back. Big Chief Moore gazed with disapproval, and five hours of heavy duty was their plight. They worked and worked, and when they no longer were subpoenaed they again donned their sweaters to show that peace was desired. The Junior tribe held a feast in honor of the great Seniors in May, 1928. Toasts were exchanged and the peace-pipe smoked during the evening. Later the Senior tribe gave a grand Assembly entitled the “Followers,” which the three neigh- boring tribes attended with a great Hip-yi-hi-hi-he. One evening in June, 1928, there were fourteen braves and maidens who left this Reservation and went out to seek new hunting grounds in other valleys. —B. N. ‘28 PAGE THIRTEEN
