Spear Colors—Old Rose and Silver Flower—American Beauty Rose Motto—Impossible is Un-American THE SENIOR TRIBE One winter evening while lying on the couch listening to the radio, I heard the announcer of K. Y. W. say that the next number would be an Indian Love Songv I was very pleased to think that I was fortunate enough to be listening in on this partic- ular evening for Indian music seems to hold a strange fascination for me. Before the selection was half through I fell asleep and dreamed a dream of my former class mates. I was taken by aeroplane and transported from my home to an Indian settlement. To my surprise I found that the tribe was presided over by chief Big Foot who was Lloyd Meyer, and his squaw, Freida Barkley. After exchanging bits of news I learn- ed that this was to be one of the happiest days for the Tribe because of aI wonderful affair that was to be held that evening. They all seemed to be very happy and excited but refused to tell me what was to happen because they wished it to be a surprise for me. I was naturally very curious so in order to get my mind off of the subject Big Foot suggested that his squaw show me the settlement and help me look up my old acqaintances. I was more than pleased at the idea so we immediately set out. Our first stop was at a large wigwam. Among the squaws we found, Hazel, Vir- ginia and Malita. They were extremely busy skinning buffalo and getting it ready for the coming feast so I did not have very much time to talk to them. However they promised that we would have a visit later so we passed on. From here we went to the Big Fox where we found Alice, Lurena, June, and Gladys dipping their babes by the heels in the cold water of the river. Farther down we could see Mildred and Alleta standing barefooted on the banks doing the family washing. By this time it was to late to go any further so we retraced our steps back to the wigwam where we ate and rested until it grew near the time for the great surprise. At promptly seven o’clock a large fire was built which lighted up the village just so that you could distinguish one person from another. I was assigned a place, where I was told to stay until all was over. The chief then told me that a wedding was to take place and if I were not very quiet I would be asked to leave. After I had promis- ed to be real good I settled down to await the procession. The first thing I heard was the low weird sound coming from the beating of many tomtoms. Next came many Indian maidens headed by Alvin beating the native drums. He was bedecked with a very elaborate costume which he had gained because of the merit of his office. The maidens danced and sang songs until they were so weary they were forced to sit in a ring around the fire. After all were quiet and a deathly silence had settled on the spectators the Medicine Men, Gustav and Harold and their helper, Edith appeared as if by magic. After going through the required ceremony the na- tives all bowed their heads in prayer. When the prayer was finished Gustav, Harold, and Edith were lead to their seats by a dashing young warrior, Lester, who was seek- ing honors so that he could win the hand of his lady love, Freida Jacobi. When they were seated the Chief arose from his seat and announced that the marriage between the Hiawatha, Laurel, of the neighboring tribe, the Snakes, and princes Rain-in-the-face, Florence, was about to take place. Hiawatha was brought in amid pomp and ceremony, surrounded by his many war- riors of whom the most trusted were John, Amos and Gerry. At the same time Rain- in-the-face was ushered up to the fire by her many attendants. Her dress was very be- coming and was the most beautiful of Indian attire one could imagine. The whole thing was a mass of beads in many designs which the good squaws in the village had made to express their love for the Princess. The Chief performed the ceremony after which Hiawatha led his blushing bride away amid the cheers and laughter of the guests. I roused myself just as the last strains of the Love Song were being played. For many moments I sat as if in a daze for I could not cast off the spell that had been thrust upon me. Many times since I have thought of that dream and I must admit that it was the most fascinating of any I have ever had. Page Seventeen
