Three Hohzoni Days of Beauty Relieve Mid- Five days before the Ides of March, some 30 students comprising membership in the Shalako hidian Club, Dr. N. G. Tate, chief counsel, met to map final plans for a hair-raising three days of pow- L| »w wows, dances and myriad other activ- P j,., P Ities to which the campus community was invited most cordially. Purpose of the celebration was to signal a renaissance of Hohzoni Days (Days of Beauty), a festive occasion which was, years past, a highly anticipated Fort Lewis feature, but one which had not made much smoke since 1961. Atop the agenda in importance was the selection of a queen and attending court to reign over the three days ' dalliance. Lending stature to the event and to make it regal as well as enjoyable, Shalako Club members spread the red carpet to wel- come on-campus Miss Indian America XII, Marcelle Sharron Ahtone, who shared top of the totem with ' I HihiiiiiiiHiiiriiii local royalty. Shalako Club planners f left no time unused in the Thursday, ' Friday and Saturday series of events which began officially March 10. One of the most enjoyable highlights of the affair, however, was the court contest between the Kittyhawks, an Indian women ' s hoop squad, and a group of Shalako Club men dressed in skirts and kerchiefs. The two opposing groups of ballhawks feigned serious court attitudes as they hobbled the ball for a Kachina Doll trophy. A general round of activities began Thursday with an exhibit of Indian art.
