Q62 january Officers When all is said and done, the class of January '36 had a dire problem on their hands. Here they were, eighty even but at odds. With vim and vigor, the wranglers came to bat to put their unbiased opinions on the birch bark. Black looks and un- filled seats were placed between the two major factions. In the primaries, small squabbles were swept aside in the glow of party loyalty. Bombastic party leaders solicited followers in study hall whispers. 'One schemer nominated his friend, the latter returning the compliment with astonishing regularity. Then came the vote, and each bewildered nominee bent over his ballot with one sly peek at the fascinating movement of his neighbor's hand. The counters, solemn fellows in the dignity of their office, announced the Vote in sepulchral tones. And so were elected the right hon- orable officers of a small but mighty tribe. Chief Wayne Taylor has paddled the canoe through thick and thin-thick heads and thin pocketbooks-giving wise advice and choosing his committees with a shrewd stroke of his capable chin. It is highly doubtful if they could be of any less impor- tance than the vice-presidency held down by Kid-Firewater- Charters. With few dissenting votes, Squaw Inga Jessen landed in the secretaryship. Her real work came later, as head of the invitation committee, where her characteristic diligence and sardonic good humor showed to good purpose. The cheerless job of persecutor of the poor was held down by that malignant fel- low, Sub-chief-Big-'Hokum-Stuff-Lowrey. Is there any job more loathsome than being responsible for other Injuns' Wampum? 8
