4' ' I F OREWORD Do you wonder why the Annual has been named Cokato? Close your eyes and picture in your mind a river bordered by fields of corn cultivated by lndians living in wigwams that can be seen on both sides of the river. This, in the middle of the eighteenth century, is a true picture of the appearance of the tract of land now occupied by Central. As the Indians were the first to live where our beautiful school now stands, C6k2i't6, an lndian word meaning, in the center, has been chosen as an appropriate name for our year- book, because not only is Central located in the place where the Redskins lived, but it is also in the center of Franklinton, the first white settlement, and in the center of our own proposed Civic Center. The history of the Indian tribes in this part of the country dates from about the middle of the eighteenth century, according to an account in the History of Franklin County, by S. A. Vesey. When the first settlers arrived, the lndians were numerous, but friendly. The Wyandots had an encampment on the ground now occupied by Central and another where the Penitentiary now stands. During the years of the early settlement of white people along the Scioto, meaning Deer River, the Indians were accustomed to roam through the country and some of them lived among, or in close proximity to the whites. The inhabitants of Franklinton and of the other settlements in this part of Ohio were in a state of feverish anxiety and in constant dread lest the red men should open hostilities. But great was the feeling of relief when, on June Zl, l8l 3, the Indians agreed to observe a permanent peace, which they faithfully adhered to. On the spot where our numerous clubs now meet, the Indians held their pow-wows before the heap big chief and indulged in their fantastic war dances around the blazing camp fires. For over a hundred years, steady progress has been made until now, Central, our beautiful school located on the bank of the Scioto, has trans- planted the once popular wigwams of our Tillakums, ffriendsl the lndians. ig sxgiiliigijj,15:32-graeif-iili f:1gQig.,i'fQ,,, .j W ,ggi ' 5 ?- st :Jiri .ii is 'C ' i eg ,cj 2
