What lines of endeavor should be provided for instruction of the young people of this group that was to grow so fast? The first curriculum consisted of eleven departments: English, Commerce, History, Mathematics, Ancient and Modern Lan- guages, Music, Art, Industrial Arts, and Printing. The teaching staff was a representative group selected from thirty-four colleges and universities and seven states of the Union. The number under portrait indicates year of entry. For a time the Lodge sufficed but the tribe was prolific and soon increased from 800 to 7,500. The number of departments also increased. In answer to the very apparent need for more classroom space, the wings, aeronautics building, agricultural house and the radio house were added to the reservation.- As the number of students increased so did our faculty and staff which increased to a grand total of 369, when the seventh and eighth grade teachers were placed under the iurisdiction of the Sewanhaka Tribe. Through the years there have been four great chiefs of this reservation: Mr. Arthur M. Croop, Mr. Charles C. Cooper, Dr. Alva T. Stanforth and our present Chief, Mr. Harold W. Wright who was chosen to head the Lodge in 1947. Under their wise leadership, Sewanhaka has made great progress in expanding its curriculum and thereby offering its students a wider range of subjects to prepare for a larger choice of occupations and professions. The post-war house building boom on Long Island has brought an expansion of the population in the Sewanhaka district beyond anyone's expectation. Such unprecedented over- crowding made necessary staggered sessions from 7:30 a.m. to 6:42 p.m. daily during the last four years. lt made necessary a fleet of buses to bring the braves and squaws from great distances. Happily, the construction of four new junior-senior high schools and one iunior high school in the Sewanhaka district will be completed in the near future and proper education can be reinstated. Dr. R. Lester Springer is the Great Chief. The products of our schools are the citizens of tomorrow. Surely the greatest satisfaction of our faculty is the ioy of know- ing that their students are going out into the world to take their places properly equipped. Our mothers, fathers and teachers hold the future of our country in their hands. On Commencement Day each year, as the younger members of the Tribe prepare to leave the Great Lodge, they take with them grateful memories of our faculty's faithfulness to their trust under great stress. The temple the teacher builded Will last while the ages roll, For that beautiful unseen temple ls a child's immortal soul. ANONYMOUS

When the tepee iff 4x i'5S?'??i3 - - first put up, it was the year the white men 1929, and the Great White Father in Washington was a man called Herbert Hoover. There were not yet two chickens in every pot, nor two cars in every garage, but they said that it would not be long now. Ukelele Ike was Singin' In The Rain, and Rudy Vallee was gaining fame crooning Betty Co-Ed and The Maine Stein Song. The market was booming and no one foresaw the dark days iust ahead. Prosperity had not yet disappeared around the famous corner from whence it was not to emerge until the advent of the second world war, twenty years later. The new Great Lodge of the Sewanhaka tribe was com- pleted now. It was time for the sachems on the Board of Educa- tion to pick a new chief. After many pipes, they chose Arthur M. Croop, a graduate of Leland Stanford Junior College, with a fine record as teacher, principal, college instructor and super- intendent of schools in California and New York. His would be the task to pick the faculty whose leadership and devotion would shape the course the tribe was to follow. He must choose wisely and well the minds that were to guide the younger mem- bers of the tribe through the many moons of the future. rl. l UM qi F A 1 EF 1:1 f' f'flfil 2 lfliifir - ., .3 ,, ...Q.'12Q liffjf . fl lt My J Sv. it ,Is ...gm X,-'ql,,Qelfi .
