Bengal Benson then organized a ski assembly in which we were instructively shown the use of skis. 19 add to the enjoyment, Helen Topodas of Troy, Lily Lord, Can- non Brown, and Senior Tease modeled the latest things in ski wear, while Swan-like Peterson nar- rated. Still near the mountains, for further pleasure we held a dance entitled, The Ides of March , named by Jane Dambrov. We enjoyed our- selves immensely as we mingled with the tribes of '60 and '6I. The months that passed were long, filled with jungle exams, and tattle-tale cards, made out by our too-honest instructors. In this year too, we were in- troduced to the jungle's famous show, “Carousel”, this year called, Look Back In Laughter . Soon our luck had brought us to warmer country; thus, basking under the warmth of the jungle sun, we picnicked be- neath eLocatrecs of Loot Jungsle™,..

T e entered the Jungle September 9, 1959. The fog from the Swamps rose mysteriously, obstructing our view. The sensation of enterinse into such an entirely new environment left us feel- ing strange and lonely. Singularly, we realized the importance of ovr three year safari. On the first day, we assembled to meet the great Chief Rodeheaver, Witch-doctor Hatch, and the two for- merly established tribes. Our native guides Slide-rule Szetela, Relations Corbin and his mate, and Lingo Auger led us to the Eek River where we halted. we decided that here would be an oppor- tune time to elect leaders; as a result, we elected Bengal Benson, president§ Penny Pilver, treasurer; Mounted Herman, member-on- the-loose} Pounding Hamer, secretary, Lily Lord, vice-president, and our governirg council: Carrot-top Lepine, Garden Burgess, Likeable Quinn, Leather Schumacher, Mayor Ryan, Wiser Bucnitz, - and Smilirg Yando. Hence, before nightfall with the aid of our newly elected officers, we drafted a constitution and adopted the name Tribe '62. Therefore, from that day forward, our banner, designed by Swimming Swan, was carried proudly by our leaders. Risirg early the next morning, we crossed the river and continued through the treacherous maze of trees and swamps. At the sight of a man bearins trinkets, the sefari assembled.

Now, more familiar with jungle ways, our journey seemed easier. Day by day we pro- sressed through the labyrinth of new experiences; however, upon arriving at Slush Mountain, we eased our tensions by presenting a dence entitled, Snowflake Soiree . The Wild Bill McCullough Quintet produced the music and had as its vocalist, Treble Tremblay. As another enjoyable diversion, the he-men in our group displayed Tarzan-like abilities in the various tribal inter- jungle sports, as the cheer-dancers stirred up the grass with their frustrated cheers, and their annual dance, this year call- ed Mid-term Madness , which vresented as its queen, Corn Cobb. (Sorn Cobb, Woman Gray, Parker Pen, Substitutes: Dearborn Colt, and Crunch Nothacker). Our football team which included such able men as Early Robbins, Buffalo Bill Loeffler, Mixer Collins, Grain Fields, Comma Conn, Ra Coon, Green Meadows, Snow Montagna, Kitchen Koch, Ocean Traft, and Bass Bazos, reigned ris Lge the coconut high over the two trees at the end of Trader Field . Our soccer team won the championship for the surrounding area - Cloudy Liatos, Smiling Yando, Sharp Scheer, Bull-ring Mador, Told ya Soja, Meyor Ryan, and Saint Jacques. Our swimming team (Rollin Solin, Bear-cat Hergie, White Li-den, Swimming Swan, Sir Oliver, and Buffalo Bill Leoffler) bravely defeated the ti- ger sharks in the Duggan River , and also won a jungle champion- ship.
