BY LUHY OF EXPLHUHTIGU The names attached to a new organization are often confusing to outsiders, and even to members of the organization itself. The latter con- dition may be said to be true of most Lamar students concerning the titles of many units of Lamar life. The school is named, of course, for mirabeau Bonaparte Lamar, the valiant soldier and statesman, who played such an inspiring role in the history of early Texas. The name for the school is of special significance because of Lamar's great and lasting worth as an educator. Lamarites are lznown as Redslzins by their own choice-we Felt that the indian baclaground of Texas was sufficient basis for the choice. The red rose is our school flower, since that rose carries out our Red- slzin color scheme and is also emblematic of bravery and honor. Partly to follow up the emblematic idea, we chose scarlet and royal blue as our school colors. The Lancer, our school paper, was named both for the lances which the plains indians carried on their war raids, and for the cavalry corps of which mirabeau Lamar was acting commander in the battle oi San Jacinto. The Orenda's title was talnen from the Iroquois name for that great force of nature lznown as the Great Spirit. Thus the indian motif has been carried out-to the satisfaction of everyone concerned, we hope. Certainly the Redslzin banner has advanced a long way this first year. we are already far beyond the papoose stage.
