Mrs. H. Bowen. Mr. C. DeGrush, Mrs. R. Caldwell DEDICATION In the Indian villages, the older war- riors, who had proved themselves to be brave in time of battle and wise in tribal life, were set above the other Indians. They were honored and obeyed with great reverence and because of their superior wisdom and experience, their advice was asked on all important mat- ters. To Mrs. Bowen, Mrs. Caldwell, and Mr. DeGrush. whose combined teaching careers total seventy years and whose con- tributions have been an inspiration to the students and faculty of Lake George Union School, we sincerely dedicate this 1950 Georgian as a token of our esteem.

La e George Union School, La e George, T ew Tor ALMA MATER Oh lake of crystal water, Surrounded by yon hills, The mountain peaks rise up To kiss the blue'nd skies and rills. Our high school stands upon the mound, We gaze at all thy charms, God bless our Alma Mater in the Adirondack arms. As forward through the years we march. Cur footsteps toward success. We dream of Lake George High School, And the friends that we possess. The love and honor in our hearts Shall last forever more. The things that we accomplished, Shall reflect upon the door. THEME Where wc walk to school each day, Indian children used to play— All about our native land, Where the shops and houses stand. And the trees were very tall, And there were no streets at all, Not a church and not a steeple— Only woods and Indian people. Only wigwams on the ground, And at night bears prowling ’round— What a different place today Where wc live and work and play! • Indian Children by Annette Wynne
