S the hundreds of footsteps of boys and girls have tramped through the halls of P. I'I. S., wearing the steps smooth and scuffing the floors, so the foot- prints of an Indian go through these pages. As those students grew, so shall he, both in mind and body. As a papoose, he wonders at the curiosities of freshman algebra, as a little Indian he begins his sophomore study of history, the lore of other tribes, as a budding brave he successfully trudges through his glowing junior year when class plays and proms make vivid impressions to recall in the years to come. Then he treads the last lap of his teen-aged journeys, the senior year, when plans for the future are his concern. He emerges a full-fledged Indian brave-courageous, unafraid, and eager to begin life. We hope that you will enjoy our 1945 Indian book as much as we enjoyed planning it, here in our pleasant school, in our pleasant city, on the banks of old Mianri. f f Y Resufvt K L.- C 7 R xx Q l S A 7 4, AEL WQWL' Iwi page nine I V, f' NM,f 'Z S we, the braves of 1945, realize that our four short years of tribal life are over, we turn our attention to the trophies which we can pass on to future braves. Among the thirty-nine reminders that P.I-LS. has always had superior braves on the gridiron are two handsome gold-trimmed relics won by the class of 1945. The tribesmen of this year's class will never forget that only once- defeated team of l943. Also sacred to the memory of many is that weak Indian squad that attacked Fort Xenia, under two inches of rainfall, with a mighty spirit that over-powered the enemy and carried the Piqua squad through to a lviiami Valley League victory. Although we have been most successful on the gridiron, conflicts in other fields have baffled the enemy, with this year's hardwood braves finishing a close second in Miami Valley League competition. We shall return in future years to visit, look over the trophies which we won, and also look for new ones, which we expect future members of our Tribe to add.

Sims had faithfully served Piqua High School and its students as friend and Big Chief. This past school year he has held the import- ant position of Superintendent of the Piqua Schools, and has served the whole school system as Heap Big Chief equally as well as he had always served the high school. Still interested in the braves of P. H. S., he finds time to talk with them and give them advice. Although we are sorry that we do not see him so much as formerly, we know that under his able guidance the Piqua schools will continue to maintain their usual high standards. -S F .7 X Q3 si T555 45212 fl' B 03 MQ ri 3 1 . qu s9' 'x MR. ROBERT G. WINTER PRINCIPAL E spy Central's new principal, Mr. Robert G. Winter, hustling through the halls of P. H. S., smiling and many times teasing the braves who from all sides greet him as an old friend. Our Big Chief, who came to us from the Shelby Tribe, is a genial fellow with a lively sense of humor, plus an interest in and an understanding of the students' welfare and activities. We, the class of 1945, are glad that we have had the opportunity of working with him this year. We feel safe in predicting that in the many moons to come he will prove to be just what any witch doctor would prescribe for Piqua High School. page thirteen Faculty' Row I: Ora E.

Meetings were held regularly the first and third Thursdays of each month. Besides the executive committee, composed of the officers, there was a committee on assembly programs, one on constitution, and one on entertainment. The Council conducted a Stamp and Bond sale each week in the home- roomsg and planned, and performed in, assembly programs. It drew up a constitution which was ratified by the students, and carried out campaigns for good manners in the cafeteria and plans for entertainment. The Council hopes next year to come back better and stronger and with more ideas to make P. H. S. a better school. page forty-three ,, ,.,-.,.,-. ..,.4 , i..-.N ..::'g.,::- ,,,,,g, - 'l --NH f F 1h4QI'. ' ' C,,,gf ,K . ' sf-V ls- M.
