PAPOCSE - FRESHMEN The papoose had arrived. This season they seemed braver than usual. They were quick to learn! the ways of the tribe but not quite as able to grasp the laws. In time, tihey knew the regulations for living in the tribe, however, and it looked as if they would be a very powerful part of it in the future. To lead them through the stage of infancy they chose Eileen Shields, pre identg Dick Shields. v-ice presidentg Gerald Snyder, secre- tary-treasurerg and Miss Larson as class advisor. As Miss Larson left in the middle of the year, Mrs. Barmore took over the job. The hunters put them in their place soon after their arrival at am initiation which was held before the Magazine Dance. They did not wear the customary ceremonial garb but the boys were attired in the girls' dresses, and the girls wore long-legged underwear that wasn't too becom- ing. They both were highly painted writh traditonal Indian War paint. Early in life they learned to stalk the prey. They went on a scaven- ger hunt at which they ransacked barn and attics of the dwellings of the Indians of the tribe of Rockton. They then returned to the lodge of Hononegah and feasted. Having struggled bravely through the most trying period of being the insignificant papoose they are ready to take up their bows and arrows and advance to the hunter stage. May the hunt be a success!! li

HUNTERS The papoose had been born. Ve ry timidly they began their life in the tribe. To lead them through the try ing days of infancy they chose ,Glenn Ilisher, presidentg Eldon Coots, vice presidentg Betty White, secretary and treasurerg and Mr, Hicks, faculty advisor. .They had a hard time at first. The Hunters kept them busy Working for them and in the fall gave them their first lesson in self- protection at an initation. They enjoyed two pow-wows du ring the course of ,the first season. At the second one they discarded their ,papoose clothes and came dressed as beggars. Leone Stultz and Wendall Roth were thought to be the best dressed for the occasion. They prospered-they grew at last they were Hunters. Their prey, ofcourse, were the innocent papoose. The hunt had begun and Victor Ellis, presidentg Guy Hopkins, vice-president, ,Edna Cox, secretary and treasurerg and Mr. Hicks, class advisorg ,were chosen as leaders to go ahead and lay the trail. After they had subdued the papoose at a festive initiation they celebrated by having a feast and war-dance at which they all threw away their weapons of war and had a good time. In their class they have two out- standing warblers. Both Glenn Fish- er and Richard Porterfield have won prizes in music-. Blanche Bell and Glenn Fisher were the leading characters in the Operetta presented in the spring of 1941. Richard Porterfield was chosen as the best boy so- prano in the ,national contest during his Freshman year. 'llhe Hunters deid not shirk in combat- Ledell Dickerson receive a major leter in football. Minor letters were earned by Victor Ellis, Glenn Fisher and Newton Wood. Guy Hopkins and Victor Ellis, received minor letters for being on the tribe's second -string basketball team. Patsy Stultz and Betty White kept up the tribe's Spirit by leading the cheering at the games the ,warriors played in. For two years they have been growing stronger and more powerful and writh the ,coming of the next season they will be the braves of the tribe of Hononegah. 1B
