y { eee Weir beA R= Or with us last year left and three new ones came. They told us many things we never knew, while we in tarn told them things they did not know. During the sixth moon our tribe as well as the other nations were alarmed by the number of councils and fire meetings the Junior tribe was holding. Before long however, we soon learned that we had no cause to be alarmed for they were preparing for the annual Junior-Senior Peace Conference. We stayed for nine mooons under the name of Sophomores and then we disanrdl- ed again for three moons. At the end of three moons we reorganized again, this time under the name of ‘“Juniors.’’ Six new members begged admittance to our tribe and were taken in as members of the Junior tribe. Five came from tribes in the country while Thelma Dash came from a tribe in Lincoln, IIL. ‘n Feb. the Junior tribe gave a program in the assembly which is a gathering ground for all nations in the Great Tribe High School. We cleared twenty-five dol- lars on this program. , Later in the next moon we gave a Jitney Supper. The weather was bad but the tribe was not daunted and we went on preparing for our supper. We made sixty-five dollars and seventy-five cents. Now we are having fire councils as the other Junior tribes before us have done. Next moon we will give the annual Junior-Senior Peace conference. After that the Track Meet in which all Tribal Nations take part will be held Here: Then will come our disbandment for three moons. When we begin again we will be the Senior tribe, ready to take up whatever work the immortal gods have for us to do. When the nine moons are over some of us will join other college tribes and some will be called to new orders. But always, wherever we are at some time or other, our thoughts will wander back and rest lovingly on the happy hunting ground of th e Great Tribe M. C. H.S.

hee i ASRS OFA HISTORY OF JUNIOR TRIBE KKK The earliest History of the Junior Tribe has,ever been wr apped in mystery, as no reliable records have been preserved. When the curtain of history arises which is as far back as the 7th day of Sept., in the year of our Lord 1918, we see appearing on the stage of civilization a loosely allied people, who differ among theméselves in institutions and laws. The immortal Gods however, and‘especially He to whom it is given to wield the thunderbolts, seemed to have decided that certain fixed rules and customs should govern the course of this apparently young nation. Before many periods of history have passed we find the whole tribe reduced to order. This tribe has taken the name of Freshmen. Margaret Glosser was chosen first chief of this tribe and Virgil Wikoff was sec- ond chief, Claire Hobbs was chosen ‘‘Quaestor,’’ an office which corresponds to secretary and treasurer. During the nine moons of the Freshmen history many parties were held. The first event was held in the first moon. We gave a weiner roast at the home of Grace Cornwell. Shortly after, this, in the same moon, a party was held in Lorene Kin- kaid’s home. By this time two members, Harrold Alsup and Cecil Smith left us, Harrold Alsup went to Chicago to join another tribe while Cecil Smith left all tribes and began work under a new order. The Great World War was taking many from other tribal nations, but had not called any from ours, so we did our bit and purchased a “Liberty Bond.’’ Pearl Tracy left us and joined a new order on a farm. Without warning Helen Robinson came to us from another tribe and had to be sworn into our secret councils. Francis Taylor joined another tribe in Decatur and Dollie Braden left all tribes and went to her home. After nine moons our nation disbanded for a short time. During the three moons of disbandment Gladys Meils left us and joined a branch of our nation in South Haven, Kansas. She tells us that the Gods who rule her new tribe carry on the councils in the same manner as we do. On Sept. 7, 1919, we reorganized under the new name of ‘‘Sophomores.’’ At one of our first fire councils Juanita Wikoff was chosen ‘‘Quaestor.’’ Our chief remained the same as before. Our nine moons as Sophomores were uneventful. The immortal gods who were a
