The Tribe Nokomis in unremembered ages fell from the full moon One day with other women she was swinging from a grapevine when her rejected lover cut the swing and she fell through the evening twilight like a star onto a prairie There among the mosses she bore a daughter Wenonali who grew tall and as beautiful as moonlight She was wooed and won by West Wind and a son Hiawatha was born His mother died and the lovely Nokomis cared for her giandson She built a tent among the trees near the edge of a shining river that winds and winds until it broadens into a lake Years later an Indian chief came to Slt on 1tS edge He built fires to give warmth and through the smoky haze he dreamed of the future He saw homes schools churches and industries in a march toward progress He looked at the silvery water spilling 1tS surplus over the dam and then rushing on with ltS silvery song to soothe a turbulent world He cried I shall call it Lake Nokomis When youth launched his yearbook in 1913 Lake Nokomis had courage and all the glamor of the future And he said I shall call the book Nokomis Humboldt High like Lake Nokomls IS today a symbol of life Stu dents are on the march walk1ng with vigor and freedom of movement faculty chiefs their guardian sp1r1ts interpret the signs along the trail Their main concern is that tribesmen will be useful to their tribe and to the world Once at an Indian village braves watched the approach of a chief bearing a large beautiful pipe with a great stem decorated with eagle feathers and beads Awed at the symbol tribesmen recognized the appeal for peace and welcomed the pipe bearer As each Indian touched the pipe to h1s lips he pledged I shall work for the peace of all tribes Lake Nokomis reflects the same promise as it looks north to the river that winds and winds All IS well murmurs its sparkling waves Then it continues to pour its clear waters into Life s swift race BBS L9 0 l , .
