It is the intention of this yearbook staff and Student Council to have this Chiloccoan serve as a memory book and a history book. It’s theme is distinctly Indian and because the students are proud of their Indian heritage the division pages depict Indian life of the past. The pages between each division page are representative of Indian youth and their life today, especially on the Chilocco campus. Follow the Chilocco students through the school year. The memories of Indian life in the past and the rich history are alive in the Indian youth today. Robert F. Ken- nedy once said, “Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not.” Today, young Indian people are asking for the older generations to tell why Indian life is like it is — they realize that there is no reason why the Indian heritage must change. However, they realize also that they are living in a very modern cen- tury. In their life time, they have seen man land on the moon, presidents assas- sinated and watched a war develop in which many believed they had no real part to play. The Indian youth of today ask why and dream of Indian memories as they once were. A yearbook is not something that just happens. Many people worked to make this book a success, sometimes against many problems. Much of the groundwork was done by Mr. Lincoln Morris now in the printing department at Haskell Indian Jun- ior College. Mr. Walter Means developed and printed the pictures and Mr. Rupert Cooper printed the book with the help of Debbie Wakolee and Lou Watashe and other printing students. Adele Zephier, senior, learned to shoot pictures for the yearbook and took many of the informal shots captured on these pages. The yearbook staff was under the guidance of Miss Joy Spicer, who took pictures and helped students with lay-out, identification and the many decisions which had to be made. Thus, it is our hope that this yearbook serve as a memory book of the 1971-72 school year and as a history book to tell what happened during this school year. It is impossible to record all the events. Most of all, may this yearbook be a fitting memorial of the student body at Chilocco. C lasses Introduction To the Classes This yearbook is dedicated to the young Indian People, who are trying to make something of themselves and their lives, here at Chilocco. Whether or not they realize it they are becoming more of an adult, than they would if they were at home. Here they learn to cope with their problems They ore also preparing to leave here with the ability to stand on their own two feet. When they are cider they will look back upon their past, thinking how nice it was to be in a school where their peers were of their own race. Chilocco is a beautiful school helping to unite the Indians. Everyone who graduates here will be looking back and saying, I'm proud I graduated from CHILOCCO INDIAN SCHOOL. Seniors of 1971-72 Closs F� ower — Pink Roses Class Colors — Moroon ond Pink Closs Motto — What You Are To Be, You Are Becoming The Senior Class of 1971-72 has accomplished part of their goal, but the future still lies ahead. It could be fulfilling for the ones who extend their education May they grow wiser and use their good judgement to their fullest extention Life is what you make it. whether it will be fulfilling or worthless. All the seniors have been working so hard through this whole year, they all have been going to class and meetings for information of what they need for their last year here at Chilocco Indian School.

Haring and Supervisory Education Specialist, Pupil Personnel Services, Dee L. Gregory.

His daily work schedule is always full, but he makes time for the students who want to talk with him. His aim in helping young Indians is for them to get an education and be proud of themselves for succeeding. He treats the students like re- spectable people and they love and respect him because of this. In dealing with the many problems that Chilocco has today. Mr. Sahmaunt has really tried to keep this school open for many, many young Indians. Most of the time his meetings involve this very idea. He's a “great guy to the students at Chi- locco. Perhaps Mr. Sahmaunt himself, says it best when he said, I meet hundreds of young Indians who need someone to believe in them and to whom they may confide their hopes and dreams. I have dedicated my life towards helping them reach an adulthood that they will be proud to live. Daniel E. Sahmaunt is a Kiowa Indian whose great-grandparents were Chief Stumbling Bear and Chief Kicking Bird. He was born in Meeks.

Kim, Mark, Jay and Andrea. Mr. Sahmaunt believes in Chilocco Indian School He has made known to the student body and staff that he is very willing to work to make Chilocco a good school. His faith and ability to lead, and work hard are indications that one man has dedicated himself to the continued education of Indian young people. 37 Administrative Assistant Donald Dominick oversees the budget and spending.

And so was every loss not easily forgotten For from each loss we gain- ed new knowledge, perhaps a small piece, but helpful. This new knowledge will help in our fight for victory in future games to come. Members of the football team line up in readiness for their weekly game during the season.
