JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY oooooo On the memorable day of September 4, 1923, we brave little papooses entered the big Ojehavay tribe (X. T. H. S.) to meet the experienced braves. I be Great Spirit Zook welcomed us to his realm, but we found that to prove our worth we had to engage in wrestling matches with our enemies, led by chiefs English, Algebra, General Science and Latin. Some of us came out of this ordeal with slight bumps on our heads, while others were totally disabled. In June, 1924, we retreated to our tepees for a few months' rest before we should take part in another bloodless battle to be fought in September. In this battle, from which we emerged victorious, we were given the title of Sophomores because of our indomitable lighting spirit. The new papooses had challenged us to a battle, but they were badly defeated. We had faced our enemies with much greater fortitude, although a few of our men fell as before. In June, 1923, we Indians found ourselves older, more scarred, and more experienced in the art of war. Our next battle began three months later. We had survived the first two struggles, so we, as young braves, were now called Juniors, a title of high dignity, indeed. The climax in our fighting career will come next year, and then we hope to prove ourselves the bravest and wisest chiefs who ever presided over N. T. H. S. —Gladys Wright. Page twenty-fi »-
