L18 S552 Avia Y HISTORY OF IUNE CLASS, 1937 Lawrence Highfill In the ninth moon of the year 1933 a flock of young red-skins began a se- ries of battles which were to last four long, but glorious years, The event was not as colorful as it might have been be- cause our North High tribe was very young, and we were in need of warriors. So, earlier than is customary, we were allowed to associate with the older mem- bers of our tribe and began training for the battles in which we were to partici- pate in the near future. Yes, at last we had the opportunity to become heroes in warfare. Upon reaching this stage we were fortunate in not being looked down on as most freshmen are, because others not so far advanced as we, were present to receive the abuse and intolerance usually suf- fered by the freshmen. Although we weren't thrust onto the warpath in that first year, valuable knowledge was stored away for future use. The dull winter and bright spring of the second year faded into the past and we were recognized with a little more respect. It was in this year that Mr. R. S. Haltiwanger was made chief of the tribe, to lead us along the trails of learn- ing. In the third year of our career we selected Raymond Holder as leader of our rising-in-fame bloody division of the North High Indians. Our struggle in the massacres of Typing and Shorthand are very distinctly remembered by those taking part as highlights in the Iunior year. However, several triumphants re- turned to camp after the Battle of Typ- ing with 5O words a minute swinging on their belts-victims of skillfull use of the scalping knife. Being unable to prevent the progress of time, we found our fourth year, Page eighty known as the senior year, become a re- ality. Mr. R. A. Swaringen was given our division, to guide and direct our ac- tions, and again Big Chief Raymond Hol- der was chosen our active leader. Our continual advance reached its peak and we furnished a rightful ma- jority of the tribe's leading figures. Faith- fully, we upheld the tradition of seniors to be dignified and all-commanding. At times we probably defined too radically senior privileges. Nevertheless we met the increased responsibilities with all en- ergy and competence of famed Indians on the warpath. The social climax of the year was the delightful Iunior-Senior. Not in the entire History of American Indians is there an account of so many and such beautifully attired squaws as were assembled at this occasion. Perhaps the most famous and bitter battle during this term was the Battle of American History on the Diploma River, Many bear scars of this battle, which will be long remembered and cher- ished, as precious jewels of knowledge. It almost made pale faces of us all, Some of those attaining especial fame in active warfare were: Frances New- som, editor of Pine Whispers and Pres- ident of National Honor Society, Ray- mond Holder, captain of 1936-37 basket- ball team: Moir Lancaster, captain of 1935-36 football team: and Gray Sher- mer, mayor during the 1936-37 school term. Not at all unboastfully, we wish to express our extreme sympathy for our fair tribe after we are gone. But oh, we forgot: our superb knowledge and ability were received through the excel- lent training of dear old Alma Materg our teachers, the medicine men, and the beniflcence of the Great Spirit.
