Dear Wowiha'i: We, the Class of February, 1931, may be called Warrior Maids who have just passed through an ordeal of loyalty and courage to prove our worthiness to take our places in a new life-a life which will present many trials. We may feel sad at leaving this great tepee where we have spent the happiest days of our maidenhood, and at going out into the world to face life with all its joys and sorrows, but if we go ever onward and upward toward those ideals which have been our greatest aim at Kensington High School, we cannot fail to be victorious. All of us need to be really brave, strong Warrior Maids, always ready to work toward helping this splendid country of ours onward toward greater heights. We, the Maids of February, 1931, wish to sincerely thank Miss Fenimore, our Coponoh, our sponsors, and our teachers for aiding us in the four years of our happy high school life. Also, we thank those true hearts at home who have so unselfishly sacrificed that we might get a better start in life. Sincerely, RUTH KEYSER, Class President. l

Dear Wowiha'i: Kensington has given you two things: the tools with which to work and ideals toward which to work. Your dreams will not he realized over night. There will he discouragf ment and failure to face. There will he times when your ideals seem visionary, and you will be tempted to be content with what you then have. An outstanding trait of the Indians was endurance-to stand firm through tribuf lation, to push forward relentlessly despite all obstacles to the goal. You may not see the fulfillment of all your dreams, hut you can endure unto the end to pass the torch to those who shall follow you. Sincerely, MABEL E. WILD. Dear Wowiha'i: Patience, and selffcontrol under hardship and courage, confidence and endurance to know and play life's game were goals set for all Indian youth. May the Class of February, 1931, be good Indiansng on the agefold Daily' Task Trail that the feet of your predecessors have worn deep, may you have an Indianflike patience and selffcontrolg and if it falls to you to blaze new trails, may you do so with courage, confidence and endurance. Sincerely, FLORENCE M. JOHNSON.
