Though our number was diminished We were wiser, stronger, braver. For our Chief we chose a swell guy, Kenny Murphy led our tribe on, On to new and great attainments. Mr. Nelson helped to guide us On the third lap of our journey. Our class won the box of candy For the wampum we collected ln the sale of magazines. For our play we had a packed house, And we used our hard earned wampum For a feast night at Nlhe Cottagen, Honoring our Senior Brothers. Thus we passed another milestone On our journey toward success. Back to school we came the fourth time Just thirteen of us were left now-- Few we were but strong and mighty-- Pleasant was our journey this year. For our Chief again was chosen Kenny Murphy, brillant warrior, And we trusted and reverred him-- He, who through two years had led us, For our play this time was given Miss Adventure in three portions. Bold our Braves were in athletics. Bob and Kenny made the first team-- Herb and Calvin also played to 'Nin a trophy in the tourney. Then the Juniors entertained us At a tea-room in Moline. There they honored us and fed us At a feast-heap big--we say. So in this last year of High School We have worked and played and studied, Always looking to the time when All our work will be completed. We have gained the highest goal now Offered on this hunting ground. You have heard our words of wisdom Of the days we spent among you 1 Of the happy times we On our common hunting Now the time has come For it would become t Other tribes are sure And our work with you So we say HFarwell Oh ve had here ground. to leave it- o crowded. to come here we've finished- Brothers, Nay you prosper is our wish.H
