We were met at the tent flap by Big Chief Wahoo (alies C. G. Hunt) who greeted us with, “How are you?” We were then herded into the wigwam, where we were to have our first Pow-Wow. There we elected the following medicine men: Big Chief Wahoo Jr.— Billy James;—Big Chief Wahoo Jr. Jr.; Eugene Little:—Little Scribble Squaw,—Norma Stark;— Wampam Carrier,—Bosco Miller. We were given as our Big Evil Spirit—Paleface Squaw Teach, B. Hruskovich to rule our tribe. As our colors we selected white and green (to match us) and our motto as, “Dim but growing brighter.” They then let us go, to be inspected by the big Braves and Squaws, who, when they saw us, greeted us with a hearty, “Ugh!” Those who were more talkative said, “Ugh! Ugh!” Then came the time for our Super War Dance. Before the evening was half over our war cry was, “Give us bread. Give us meat—Wc are hungry—We want to eat.” So the moons went on the Chief Wahoo told us to go home to our tepees for a rest. As Indian summer ended we saw the smoke signal from the Big Tent calling us back. But alas! This time Chief Wahoo does not greet us, for we had grown into little squaw Jrs. and little brave Jrs. Now come Pow-Wow time again with Paleface Teach to help us, we chose the following Witch Doctors: Big Chief Sitting Bull, Albert Ramsey; Little Chief Sitting Calf, Marco Voich; Little Paleface Pencil Pusher, Jackie Hauer; Big Chief Little Money Bag (no money)—Jim Turpin. The time for Tepee own Town Tournaments draw near and so our little brave Jrs. Pitchum, sluggum, catchum, and winnum tribe tournaments. We decided to have Heap Big Fun Festival to celebrate our victory. The night for the festival came and all the little braves and squaws came in their new blankets which wc findum in parcel postum box. The evening came to an end, as this too must do, but with the hope that next year when the peace-pipe is passed, wc will be old enough to take a puff. Page Twenty-eight
