42 THE JUNIOR LIFE As these people move about a great deal and transport everything on horseback, they necessarily become very skilled horsemen. Some of them are Boh Stcrchie, Harvey Chapman, Boh Wiik, Glenn GrifTen, Jonas Johnson, Thomas Vlassis. But here comes the Sachem, Robert Grono, with his Medicine Men, Harry Goodyear, Robert Gerber, Robert Helgerud, Howard Gross-man, George Pearson, and Glen Peterson, who can tell us some more. We would enjoy seeing both the Snake Dance and the Corn Dance performed by Howard Barr, Lawrence Bohlig, Glenn Settem, George Nelson, Lucille Aagaard, Betty Gislason, Marcia Rchl, and Helen Grapes. Some of the papooses who are beating time and making quite a noise are Mildred Martinson, Robert Nyvold, Gloria Reeves, Lorenzo Coleman, William MacGregor, Constance Vogel, Dorothy Schultz, Edward Wilde. The sachem asks a quartette of women to sing for us. They are Alice Swanson, Agnetta Erickson, Melissa Lindsay, and Rosemary Werling. We learn from the chief that the following are deserving of recognition for being so capable along some lines.

Big Chief of the Sum-Ate-Bay-Scts (SB), Maxfield Peterson, tells us that they are from the eastern seaboard. Here they are able to carry on agriculture, hunting and fishing. Standing against the tepees are seen several snowshoes, spears, birchbark canoes, toboggans, and long bows, all typical of this particular group. The medicine men accompanying the chief are Jay Porter, Clifford Mercicr, John Williams, and Christ Anderson. Among the leading warriors we find Robert Schonebaum, Clifford Johnson, Cleon Taylor, and Robert Bennett, while the hunters for wild game are Paul Mahoney, Charles Nisscn, and Stewart Ellis. Not all tribes have use for snowshoes but the Sum-Ate-Bay-Sets as well as the O-Nine-Be-Gas have developed them to a high state of perfection. Among the cleverest are Vernon Lundbcrg, Robert Swanson, Howard Donald, and Edwin Keith. Here, too, the birchbark canoe has served as a model for canoes so widely used by the white man today.

Hie dancers we see are Kenneth Block, Robert Shouse, Gordon Porter, Herman Rating, Court land Cole, Edwin Winter, assisted by the squaws, Ruth Jensen, Loraine Olsen, Isabelle Nordquist, and Lucille Simpson. Beating the drums we see Robert Johnson, Alice Gunther, Tom Moore, Glen Salter, and Harold Beckman, while in the background are some squaws singing. They are Judith Ornes, Aletha Miller, Harriet Patterson, Adeline Arlandson, Dorothy Page, Gwendolyn Shank, and Margaret Moore. See those groups of children by the tepees. What can they be doing? Why, the boys arc spinning tops. They are Fred Stinson, Burton Shervin, Dean Kennedy, and Robert Schoening. The girls are playing with their dolls: Harriet Hummel, Marion Ball, Marie DeRoma, Cleo Hale, Mary Huggins. Others running around with little to do are Bernice Johnson, Theodore Vasatka, Vernon Hanson, Margaret Williams, Mildred Carlson, and Evelyn Wilde. Upon interviewing Big Chief, Richard Young, we hear many very interesting things about his people as follows: Medicine Men Charles Stamas Burton Frank David Strccd John Kohn John Bcrtclson Runners John Richardson Clifford Lundccn Charles Aslcsen Talmagc Carey Pony Tenders Harry Worth Quentin Hanson Arthur Lowry Lawrence Lund Double Ball (Game) Harriet Friend Mary Du Lac Ruth Grono Betty Stauffer Warriors Allen Autcn Grant Brown John Coffman Donald Martz Howard Day Benny Hclmcrson Courtland Cole Charles Eckcrstrom Leslie Johnson Robert Mallory Cooks Audrey Atherton Anne Matthews Elizabeth Mungcr Grace Johnson Snow-Snake (Game) Karl Randolph Kenneth Haug Harry Morgan Douglas Gibson Bead-Workers Margaret Madigan Helen Ojala Helen Floback Phyllis Campbell Jeanette Isaacson Hunters Lawrence Peterson Eugene Underwood Robert Lykkcn Donald Kjorlicn Arrow-Head Makers Gordon Porter Clyde Jodell Kenneth I.undecn Bill Mich Hoop-and-Pole (Game) ('lark Grover Leon Doskas Malcolm Mueller Edmund Johnson Next to the U-Seven-Be-Das are the De-Sept-Ay-Nos (7A) from the Southwestern deserts. These people are wanderers by nature depending upon wild plants and animals for their food. Fish were never eaten because of a taboo. Those outstanding for their success in raising sheep arc: Floyd Morrill, Leroy Weber, William Brown, Leonard Tuma, Donald Merrit, and Robert Enstad. Among the rabbit hunters arc Lawrence Bohlig, Albert Myers, Mitchell Aaronson, Erling Martinson, and Warren Pickard.

TIIE JUNIOR LIFE 43 it we find that George Record, David Hale, Robert Erickson, Donald Payne, Roger Naeseth, and Harold Mayes are very clever. But look at these braves running up to the chief four abreast. We learn that they are the outstanding runners of the tribe and have been giving themselves a little try-out. They are Joe Dahl, Paul Ford, Robert Swanson, and Junior Affeldt. Associated with them as scouts arc Omar Lindherg, Ralph Oasheim, Leonard Page, Billy Stewart, Wayne Johnson, and Robert Hanson. We are sorry not to meet individually all the outstanding members of this tribe, hut we have learned that the following arc accomplished along certain lines as follows: Marksmanship Harold Engdahl Walter Solstad James Flake Robert Anderson Robert Halvorscn Pottery Agnes Johnston Catherine Linncll Ruth Kurnquist Ellen White Lorraine Taylor Tanners William Colby Ray Waddick Stanley Flobcck Sherman Walgren Herbert Evans Basketry Lorraine Garden Violet Masologites Lydia Behlen Dorothea Lindsey Shirley Peterson Endurance Robert Burton John Johnson Billy Mead Arden Engcn Richard Lindquist Be AD WORK Mary Louise Hcusscr Shirley Pearl Wigcn Belva Hoincs Jean Vanslrum Frances Wellcome Dancers Eugene Bailey Richard Small Phyllis Knutson Audrey Hanson Carol McKecn Fish Nets Clyde Thorkclson Harold Udcn Harold Engdahl Chari sc Freese Franklin Flake Arrow-Makers Harry Hokanson John Hoyt Frederick Winter David Hale James Rotsch Quill Dyers Cecelia Anderson Vera Eckert Arlcen McDonald Josephine Jones Edith Carter Song Makers Lorraine Nordquist Ruth Peterson Charlotte Zcglin Jeannette Olson Horse Hair Weavers Marjorie Dickens Helen Johnson Gail Brancel Sylvis Brolin Beverly Fa Icon net There seems to be quite a bit of excitement among those of this next group, the Mor-Hi-Octo-Saws (8A) with Henry Quist as their chief. One group is dancing what is known as the Eagle Dance while another group is playing hoop and pole. The dancers are Richard Clark, Lynn Rolig, Douglas Martin, Bill Wright, and Norman Bell. The drummers and the rattle shakers who are accompanying them are Maurice Krier, Jack Lindholm, Donald Johnson, Edward Lund, and Leon Belor. The dancers are arrayed in some wonderful leather robes which are quite light weight and yet warm. 1 hesc were made by Barbara Herbert, Coral Fish, Lois Erickson, Marjorie Pierce, and Jean Ohlin. The game, hoop and pole, is played with large stone disks which are pushed by long poles. Each player tries to interfere with the other player’s progress. Those playing this game are Maxwell McKib-
