Because we were subject to these things as a group, through it all ran a spirit of lively companionship and comradeship that knit us closely together. “We were very proud of our tribal songs and dances and each of us tried to outdo his fellows in the learning of them and in the cere-monial singing around the evening campfire. In our songs and dances, we recorded our joys and sorrows, the greatness of our warriors, our love stories, tributes to our elders. They were very beautiful and symbolic. “Our physical development was a point of pride.

FT ER reaching a low ebb in the 1946 season. football fortunes started back with the coming of Coach Floyd Knutson from St. Olaf to assume the reins dropped by Coach Taddie when the latter left in the spring of ’47. The blond V.king started from the bottom, drilling in fundamentals night after night, with the result that the boys took Excelsior by straight football 18-9 at the end of the second week of practise. U High fell in a scoring scramble 28-14, but sweet was the victory scent in Warrior nostrils when the traditional rivals in Orange jerseys were outrun, out maneuvered, out-thought and out-scored 27-0 on the Park grid. Wayzata, who was to go on to a high spot in the Conference pushed over two scores in a hotly-contested game for the season’s only loss. Mound went down by the margin of two points-after-touchdown, 14-12, and in the season nightcap, the Warriors and Robins battled to a 6-6 tie. It was a satisfactory season, pointing to considerable promise for the fall to come. Tom Matteson and Gene Schneider landed posts on the mythical All-Conference team. CO-CAPT.
