Young Warriors Legend ANY, many moons ago, before the coming of the white man, this great country was inhabited by the Indians. In a great valley surrounded by tall mountain ranges, in the wigwam of an aged chief- tain, dwelt a youth. lluring the day he would retire to the forest to learn the secrets and language of the woodlands. At night he sat by the wigwam of the aged father, to be counseled in the ways of man and of the tribe. Daily he grew in courage, wisdom, strength, endurance, speed and agility. His body and soul were fast reaching the highest type of physical and spiritual manhood. Strict temperance and self-denial were endured by him. At length the time came that he should go forth from his life as a youth and begin a new epoch in his life. Having prepared himself for this undertaking and casting all influences he chose a far distant peak and started on his journey toward it. Vilith a confident and happy stride the young brave started forth. For a while the path was smooth and wide, but later it beca.me rough and narrow, and at times it. seemed to be impassable. f f? A l A I W The brave trudged bravely and cour- ageously on, constantly loyal to the goal which he had set out to achieve. He reached other peaks and was tempted to abandon his journey. Persevering, he struggled on. XVeakened, by the weary journey, yet. he did not. despair or become discouraged. When failure came he would rise again. Throughout his journey he applied the cousel and wisdom he had acquired during his period of training. After great conflict and self -denial he reached his cov- eted goal. Standing motion- less with uplifted arms he praised the Great Spirit. Then' preparing his campfire he seated himself and smiled upon the colored hues of the setting sun, symbolizing the fulfillment of a task well done. So does the student of today prepare himself for the future by his school life under the guidance of teachers. He also selects some goal in his life toward which he struggles. Some fail, and becoming dis- couraged content themselves with smaller peaks. Others, like the young Indian, reach their coveted goal. Page Eleven Y,
