-l-l'12fTl2 Hunterdon County, of which Flemington is the county seat is replete with Indian lore. Literally, thousands of val- uable relics of this disappearing race have been discovered or unearthed in practically all parts of the county. The site of Flemington itself was the home of Tuccamirgan, Delaware Chief, who befriended the First settlers in this area. I-Iis grave, and that of many of his braves is within 21 stone's throw of our high school. It seemed fitting, therefore, that the 1936 lfvlro COIN- memorate through its theme, the memory of the original inhabitants of Flemington. This, the staff has attempted to do through the medium of the cover, the fly leaf decorations, division pages. and a motif carried through the entire book. The division page captions have been translated into significant English names ipplicable to Indian life and custom. The fly leaf spread depicts the various types of lodges, the totem pole, the record of important events, captions the table of contents page: the chief with his council is symbolic of the faculty and ad- ministration, while the motif is carried through the entire book by Indian emblems on appropriate pages. Indian youths playing at what later developed into the American game of hockey is the subject of the athletic section division page. The drawing of the buffalo dance common to most Indian tribes serves to introduce that portion of the Echo alloted tai clubs and organizations, and a barter scene in an Indian village prefaces the advertisements.
