Mr. Peden, that popular shop teacher. Why, heis looking at the candy and ask- ing for the next dance! How absurd! There are no drum beats here. Good- ness, we're not hep, he wants a tango bar. I'd like for you to talk to Miss Satterlee, the girls, gym teacher, but she's busy refereeing a game right now. She is the friend of all and faithful guardian of all girls' sports. Now here are two new counselors, Miss Bohl, algebra and business training, and Mr. Knecht, math. - both always figurinil The squaws in third hour study hall unanimously elect them col- legiate and desire more of the same. I have to go to bookwam now and help pay for some new books - These fines, Miss Kaner, ought to be abolished! Are you ready as always to help us look Miss Kaner Mr.Valentine Miss Satterlee Miss Bohl up some material for outside reading? Never fail the student,', must be your ITIOUCO. Why are all those braves dashing wildly for their lockers? Oh, I know, Mr. Valentine, director of chorus and band has kept them overtime again. Maybe this extra time is the reason for the excellence of his chorusesg if so, we'll forgive him. You are probably tired now after your trip all over our wigwam, so re- lax, find our cafeteria and enjoy a good meal for now you've m6t all of the Council of the Elders. We hope you have enjoyed meeting them as well QPJ as we enjoy their counsel, and their lessons. Truly counselors, we hope that we all make good to please you.

James Mathews Miss Bevis Advisers , . ,,,.. . . . . ...,. i Mr. DuBois The campsite was beautiful as the tribe of forty-two came as papooses in the fall of thirty-eight. This tribe had roamed separately for many moons. These sturdy Indians immediately began to find new friends. To celebrate their entrance into the tribe of Red Raiders, a big war dance was planned and was called a little kids' party. This celebration called all mem- bers from their tepees on a very rainy night. The Council of Wisemen worried about some of the papooses, but all of their canoes stood the rain and wind of the thunder god. The tribe of forty-two became stal- wart braves in the fall of thirty-nine. Soon these light-footed braves met at the East' Peoria Wigwam for a Hobo Partyf, Just' a few of the braves had enough cour- age to come dressed in the prevailing style of this festivity. On and on the tribe of forty-two de- veloped and at length became first-class warriors. A play, Polishing Papa, was produced to earn Wampum so that the warriors could have some powwows dur- ing the following season. Soon the braves donned their war paint for a patriotic party where dancing was the chief amuse- ment. Between powwows and earning of Wampum, the tribe chose a ring as an in- signia of unity. Many of the braves ob- tained their insignias. These allow them to recognize all members of the tribe of Red Raiders, as Well as these of forty-two. Onward moved the season and on a moonlight night the braves donned their formal moccasins and gala ceremonials to hold the first Junior Prom away from the big Wigwam. Never before had such a bronzed-skinned group of braves and I Mrs. Harris princesses met to have a War dance at the Inglaterra Ballroom in Peoria. . Many of the braves were positive they would have to call the medicine men when they discovered that the princesses had planned a spring picnic. The school busses carried the braves over the trails, through the rain to Detweiler Park where smoke signals were coming from every camp fire. The tribe of forty-one gave the Senior Hop to which the worthy tribe of forty- two was invited. Each of the braves took his favorite maiden to this May dance. Indian summer and the tribe of forty- two arrived at its last hunting season with many festivities and council of wars to be held in one short term. The social season opened with the juniors and seniors com- ing to a powwow to celebrate Christmas. Again the tribe of forty-two needed Wampum, so the play, The Skull, was produced. This mystery called all the friends of the tribe to the East Peoria Wigwam for some mystifying experiences. As fully pledged chiefs, the seniors attended their last Red Raider Junior Prom and Senior Hop. The final gatherings were the Baccalaureate Service and Gradu- ation, at which all conquering chiefs re- ceived final awards and honors. The tribe of forty-two has completed the journey from papoose to chief and has weathered the storms sent by the gcd of thunder, the rain god, and the great fire bird. Now in the light of the dying camp fire, whose every ember reminds us of the powwows and councils we had at E. P. C. H. S. we know that we face an entirely different world. We are proud that we can lift our heads upward and say, we belong to the great- est tribe on earth - We are Americanslv ...15...
