BUCKHOUSE Not Pictured MRS ALMA FENDER (JuAlndLaL Keepers of the tepee have a heap big job, as they are responsible for the general welfare of the group. Every nook and corner in the tepee is kept spotless and warm by the efforts of each keeper. Headed by Mr. Mothka, Charlie to us, they keep up the morale of every tepee dweller, because the appearance of our reservation can- not be overlooked by even the smallest papoose. The comfort of the smallest papooses is the responsibility of these keepers. A stubbed toe has their immediate attention. A jammed locker is opened by their skilled hands. An offending chunk of gum on the floor is soon removed. A noisy radiator is silenced by their efforts. A bro- ken zipper has their attention. The new papoose in the big tepee look to these people for guidance about the lodge. The graduating chiefs are helped through their trying last days by these keepers of the big tepee. Dances and parties are prepared for with the aid of the keepers and the great messes following these affairs are cleaned up by the keepers. Assuredly, the tepee would soon become an abode most unpleasant for the little papooses, for the braves, for the scouts, and for the big chiefs.

They left us as boys, fired by patriotism to serve our country even before she would have required service of them. They have returned to us as young men influenced by their war experiences to continue their education which was interrupted by the war. They are mentally alert, seriously industrious. They inspired us while they served their country gloriously, to increase our home front efforts; they inspire us now when we see them striving at the less glamorous business of studying, to make the most of our own educa- tional opportunities. We were then, and are now, proud of our ex-service men. Their influence is good. Thanks fellows for not resting on your hard won laurels and for pointing the way for us to follow.
