It is for this purpose, to broaden the mind of our students, we have organized our society. The Ta Ta Pochon Society was organized October 4th, 1921. It is composed of the Freshman and Sophomore Col- legiate and Senior Academic classes. The members were in- stantly inspired with spirit and enthusiasm. They agreed to join hand in hand to climb, and reach the goal for which they were striving. The first program was rendered October 14, in true Indian fashion. Sever Anderson was honored as first president, Vivian Peterson as vice president and Sylvia Erickson as Sec- retary and Treasurer. The Society was initiated by an Indian program. The Ta Ta Pochons appeared in Indian custom- dress, feathers and moccasins. The president, Chief Big Thundery advised his tribe, who were filled with energy and ambition and thus they began their work with the aim to- ward success in mind. One-year was expired in the history of our society with favorable termination. Many of its members have left us, but new ones have entered to take their places carry- ing the same traits of vim and vigor as the former. Their sin- cerest wish is to keep their society in the front rank. The society work has been rather heavy and along the literary line. Efforts have been made for regular programs. They have been cheerful, instructive, clear and greatly enjoyed. The students are realizing more and more the practical gain de- rived from society work and have availed themselves of the opportunity of learning therein. Qui- members have become more skilled in imparting their knowledge to other students. flivery bird builds a different nest,' so every individual is different also. I-Ience from the many new ideas new ones are added to the student. The society thus enlightens our student. It enables him to take to pieces the whole web of his mind and make such mental readjustments as additional information seems to require. W'e hope to have our society contribute its share to the education of its members. That our students shall not have 'book learning' alone and that they shall not be profound and elegant classical scholars only, but that they shall be able to impart their knowledge so that it may bear effects upon their associates. That it may advance the individual's mind as well. proportion to the vigor and activity of his mind.

TA TA POCI-ION VVhat a great advantage the more practical education scheme is to us today! lt enables the student to render more freely, his opinion upon topics open for discussion and bring his ideas -out clearly. He can interpret thoughts from his own reasonings and needs not rely entirely upon his book knowl- edge. lt is the convocation of an inclividual's class work and opinion from his side of view transported to his fellow stud- ents. The student like the tourist is placed into a new state of society wherever he goes. He sees new fashions. He hears new modes of expression. lt is dependent upon the range of

May our society work express itself in each one oi us. Wie shall always remain loyal to our name and motto. NVe shall meet the other societies and lead them on with us to success. NVe hope to have our successors loyal to the red type in truth, strength and bravery as we have tried to be, and constantly striving to justly improve our organization, realiz- ing the part it is playing today. SONG We taught the white man how to raise his fields ot Indian corn, To make the Indian Wigwam or to hunt at early morn. The pale face took our hunting grounds to satisfy his pride - And drove us from our native home , But we're loyal to our tribe. i Forthe sake ot Ta Ta Pochon WTe'll tread the war path now, United 'neath our standard Wfhat could make the red man bow? In the years of war and trial The red man stood the test, And of all the Indian pow-wows Ta Ta Pochon was the best! Ch, then hail, ye Ta Ta Pochons, Fling all your banners wide. The day has come when you must be The College hope and pride. Hail, ye champions of brotherhood, of truth and liberty, Yes, ot all the Indian pow-wows Ta Ta Pochon for ME!
