LEGEND OF FLEET FOOT ESTLED deep in the blue hills of Pennsylvanra hes a beautrful fertrle xalley which is shapedrrke a bowl Many many years ago the Delaware Indians lrved here and called rt Olrnk the Indian word for bowl Then chreftarn Fleet Foot was a kind Indian who befriended many of the early white settlers Fleet Foot lned close by the bubbling Manataunv vshrch wnds through the valley like a silver thread between the green banks H 2 as much revered and honored by both the red man and the white The children of the settlers on nearby farms learned to lowe him Back in the clear ng a short drstance from Fleet Foots wrgwam ln ed the honest hardvs orkrng Schurr famlly in a trnv log cabrn They had fled from their natrxe land Germany because of religious perse cutrons and found life in America hard and rugged Without Fleet Foot s help they would never hate lned through those Hr st xunters He gave them food when they were starving and showed them hovt to patch the cracks between the logs with mud so that the bitter winter x md xx ould not rind its vsay rnto the llttle room There were other Indians rn the hills surrounding the little valley Indians who vtere not so klnd as Fleet Foot and who were Jealous of the Schurrs because Fleet Foot befriended them Thev nursed a bitter latred for the Schurr famllv and all other white settlers because thev had taken the land from the Indlans Each night the tom toms could be heard beating a message of hatred through the hrlls Fleet Foots face grew troubled whenever he heard tl em for he knew lt meant trouble The beat of the tom toms grew calm before a storm Fleet Foot was wendrng hrs way up the narrow path to the Schurr s cabm for hrs darly supply of mrlk when suddenly a blood cur dlrng war vthoop nlled the arr Down the hill swarmed a band of Indians grotesquely decorated wrth v ar paint and armed with tomahawks Closer and closer they came Immediately after the first shouts Mr Schurr had gathered his familv together and hurried them into the t1ny house He was busy shooting the redskrns one by one as they came in range of his antiquated musket At once one of the children noticed that Fleet Foot was not wrthrn the walls Fleet Foot where is Fleet Foot? he shouted The big Indian chief had mysteriously drsappeared The rnfurlated Indrans xrcrously armed their arrows at the narrow wrndows and one or two bolder braves attempted to gain access to the house Suddenly out of the bushes came more Indians who attacked the frrst The Schurrs xr ere amazed but soon saw Fleet Foot among the latter group He ran to the center of the melee and spread hrs arms to command silence Wa Wa to see' Peace peace' he shouted above the clamor Immediately the fray ceased but as Fleet Foot stepped back n nrow winged rts wav stralght at hrs heart and he fell to the ground 'Ihe Schurr children ran sobbing toward his still form and as he closed lr eves for the last time his lrps qurvered as he whispered Onward Onward Thus the great chreftarn passed on to his happy hunting grounds He had gnen his life to save those of others the greatest sacrifice any man can make No more vtere cruel Indian massacres in Olrnk along the Manataxing OLE ' .

The club is conducted on an informal, self-dependent basis. Due to the limited membership, it becomes evident that a more personal artistic relationship is in existence. Members are free to select any art medium within range of the art department. In some instances, the work of the art class is carried to a greater degree of proticiencyg in others, entirely new art activities are practiced. A school service of utmost importance is rendered in the creation of scenery for school theatricals. It is our ever-present aim that for some art will become an absorbing avocation, for others it will become a well chosen life work .
