Some mornings are cold and blistery. It is heap big decision over whether to get out from under warm blanket. When the alarm rings, some Warriors raise one heavy eyelid and then close it again. Other braves jump into their moccasins and rush out to catch their big yellow steed. ' Any brave who is late, or has missed a day of tribal instruction, must have a smoke signal note from home to excuse his absence. Without this ex- cuse, the tribal elders will believe that you are an “In- dian Ditcher. No matter how you track your way to school, keeping on the trail and getting there is half the fun. 6 Getting There !: activities Homework ’ Many believe that Santa Claus is not part of the In- dian tradition.

Before the dancing fire, many tribe councils con- duct powwows. The Calumet tribe held elections in the spring to choose braves who would serve on the Student Coun- cil. Warriors with great wisdom were selected for Honor Society and Quill and Scroll. Learning to speak with foreign tongues, some CHS braves joined language clubs to study the customs of people who live beyond the great mountains and distant waters. Many Calumet braves were active in service and pep organizations. Members of these councils helped others and chanted the praises of our teams when they took to the warpath. Acquiring skills for the betterment of the tribe, some warriors joined voca- tional clubs. These braves make big effort to prepare themselves for future occupations. Yes, many tribesmen banded together in organizations to make powwows of friendship.

Led by Big Chiefs Lin- dinger, Traicoff, Starewicz, Stigall and Sopko, our mighty warriors did battle in contests of football, basketball, swimming, wrestling and track. The women of the tribe were also brave in their pursuits. Chiefs Baird and Payne proved that other tribes often speak with forked tongues about their volleyball and basketball strengths. Yes, little papooses, our tribe has shown great might whenever they have put on their warpaint and yelled, ' ' scalp ' em! Like the strong oak and the straight arrow, our braves have stood tall on the warpath. f isi. Smeltzer wins country MVP The Boys Cross Country Team finished the season 1-5.

Many members of the tribe will rise in rank now that the Chiefs (seniors) have graduated. Next autumn when the leaves change color and fall from the trees, we will have a new crop of Tenderfoots (freshmen). However, for the braves who tended campfires, 1985 will always remains a special memory. In the years to come, tribe members will con- tinue to tell their young braves about ‘ ' How, We Stacked Upr in 1985. We tribe historians of the Chieftain staff wish to thank Mr. fames Spasoff, sr.; Mr. fames Spasoff, jr.; all of the personnel at the studio; and Mr. Steve Talsma, Newsfoto representative, for their assistance.
