il if J 0 Foreword Through the ages a number of Indian legends have been handed down concerning the Sioux and Chippewa tribes which once inhabited the St. Croix Valley. One of Little Habitzer's favorites is the story of an Indian brave, cursed by his tribe to roam the valley forever. Every night when the moon is full, he returns to Painted Rock, and pleads with the tribe to admit him to the happy hunting grounds. To the accompaniment of his tom-tom, the brave sings a mourn- ful dirge which echoes and re-echoes along the bluffs of the St. Croix. As the legend goes, he chants all the brave deeds he accomplished for his tribe before his banishment. In a way, Little Habitzer feels that this legend applies to the students of today. The Kab is a record of our deeds in Stillwater Senior High School. It depicts all the events of the year, and the activities of the Seniors before they are banished from the school, nevermore to really belong. The vivid history of these tribes has inspired the pre- paration of this yearls by Little Kabitzer, for he feels that a few savage instincts still seem to prevail. At times, even the study in S.H.S. is intense As a final comment, Little Hab- itzer says, why not give the Kab back to the Indians, grab a tom-tom, and beat it? 6
