FEW HUNDRED years ago, tribes of American Indians lived and died here where our high school now stands. At certain seasons of the year, however, necessity and their own warlike spirit drove them afar in search of wild game and adventure. On these excursions they carried with them choice morsels of the lean dried meat of the bison, carefully treated to form a special and highly prized food called pemican. The etching on this page portrays the Indian squaw engaged in making pemican, while the lazy chief, smoking his pipe, looks on indiiferently. In recent years this word pemican has been given a new meaning, that of informa- tion or thought condensed within a small compass, in other words, a digest or sum- mary of events. Thus, from the two different interpretations of the word we have derived the meaning and the purpose of our book. Its name, THE PEMICAN, is suggestive of the Bison, symbol of the High School, and the book itself is intended to summarize a year of life at Senior High, compressing within a small compass choice bits of an eventful nine months.

As the years pass svviftly by, the pictures on these pages will help us recall the April morning when we stood in hushed silence vvith a feeling of intense loyalty in our hearts, vvatehing the Stars and Stripes first raised to the top of the flag pole and then sloyvly lovvered to half mast. As the sound of taps died away, we bowed in silent prayer both for our lost leader and for his sueeessor. lfollowing this ceremony, a memorial service-one of the most beautiful and impressive ever conducted in this school-was held in the auditorium. The nmsieal selections consisted of 'l'he Lord's Prayer, sung by Bronson Matney, and the two hymns, 'ABeautiful Savior and HA Ivlighty lfortrcss ls Our Cod, by the a cappella choir. Dr. P. L. Conrad, pastor of limmanuel Lutheran Church, after reading several comforting passages from tl1e Bible, spoke on the text, Give honor to Whom honor is due. Referring to the statement made by thc President some months ago that no generation, no nation has ever undergone so great a test as our own, the speaker con- tinued, No other president, no other statesman, no other American has had upon him so many burdens and tasks, and faced so many tests in a lifetime, as did Franklin D. Roosevelt . . . lle made his mistakes, but hc also made master strokes and he made history. 'l'he last written words of President Roosevelt, which were to have been delivered in honor of Thomas leffersou on lcfferson Day, are worthy both of the man they vvere intended to honor and of the man yvho vvas to give them utterance. The writer is dead, but his yvords live on: lf civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the seienee of luiman relationships-thc ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together and xvork together in the same xvorld at peaee. XYe go foryvard toward the greatest contribution that any generation of human beings can make in this vvorld-the contribution of lasting peace. l ask you to keep up your faith. 'l'he only limit to our realization of tomorroyv yvill be our doubts of today. l.et us move forward vvith strong and active faith. 1 ln the ripper left of the panel is pictured a small section of students paying homage to President Roose- velt: at loxver left, the attaching of the flag to the halyardg and to the extreme right, in a hushed and halloyved manner, students tiling from the campus into the auditorium for prayer. is .X
