The first ' building burned, and was replaced only to be added to in 1916, be- cause of the tremendous growth in the number of students. Even our T,5L -xiw X ,un ' Will: new building, pictured above, has proved inadequate and students v , are crowded. As a result, another structure is now under construction gi f for the vocatonal education pupils and will be shared by our students.

As was to be expected, when he had grown too big to be 51 l 'i carried longer in the basket cradle on his mother's back, he was taught to hunt with 7 ' S 1 the bow and arrow, and to fish. i 'ir At the time of Oshkosh's birth, the territory in which he was born, was owned by i Americans, yet in name, only, for the form of government then in existence in that section, was merely one established and poorly maintained by English fur traders from , Canada. ' K .,. -,J With a free life and opportunity for leadership, Oshkosh participated in, and led 9 many expeditions, either against hostile tribes of Indians, or against advancing settlers. His leadership qualities were fully appreciated by his fellow braves, and, after he had ,lf ' X proved himself a capable warrior, he became chief of the tribe. I ff .--i'f. - Mi 1 '. ' ' f .

He was acquitted of the murder charge of which he had been accused. I Chief Oshkosh dearly loved the haunts of his boyhood days. Perhaps there is no f N page in our book of history, so pathetic as the story of the retreat of the Indian. Even fm after he and his tribe had been shifted from one locality to another by the advancing f ig, Americans, Oshkosh often returned to his beloved land. V711 Today there is a family which recently moved to this city, bearing the name of X ' Oshkosh. The members of this family are direct descendants of the gallant chief. Z M52 1 'Q 1 N ,M Page iive
