STREET SCENE IN BISHOP HILL DEDICATICDINI Ninety years ago a vessel captained hy John I3jorIc, set forth from Geile, Sweden, bearing on it a group oi reIigious dissenters. Under the Ieadership oi Eric Janson and imbued with an indomitable energy and an unpreaIcahIe iaith in God, they founded the Bishop I-IiII coIony on a IoneIy expanse oi IIIinois prairie. Knowing that any history of GaIva, of IIIinois, or of the great Northwest itseIF,wouId be incompIete without the mention of this settIement and its Iounders, we, the Class oi 1936, dedicate this GaIahi to them and their descendants.

F RE RD In this tenth volume of the Galahi, we, the staff, have attempted to link present-day Galva High School with the Bishop Hill colony. Each division page has been planned to represent some event or phase in the development of the colony that is also pertinent to that section of the book. It is our desire that everyone who sees this annual may realize the courage, the faith, and the persistence of those liberty-loving Scandinaviansg realize too that those same qualities are necessary in a modern educational institution. Within each division and supplementing the main theme of Bishop Hill, terms from the Norse mythology expressive of that section and its activity have been used. Since all of our readers may not be familiar with mythology we are here printing a glossary of the terms. AESIR: The chief Gods. Teachers. BIFROST: The bridge between heaven and earth. Extra curricular activities. BRAGI: God of the Drama. Band, glee clubs, dramatics. LOKI: God of laughter. MIDGARD: Abode of the lower people who have not reached Valhalla. Under- classes. ODIN: Chief of the Gods. School board and executives. RUNES: Alphabetical signs made by carly peoples, written or engraved in stone. Calendar. Advertisements. SAGA: Tales of heroism. Club articles. SKULD: The future. Class prophecy. THOR: God of thunder and war. Football, basketball, track. URD: The past. Senior activities. VALHALLA: Paradise for heroic warriors. Senior section. VALKYRIES: Handmaidens of Odin who battle for Thor. G. A. A. VERDANDI: The present. Class Will. VIKINGS: Strong men of the North. G club.
