Z3he Candlc-£ight ‘Procession This event is a traditional practice which has much beauty and meaning attached to it. Closely allied to the Pow-Wow it signifies the transferring of the school duties from the Seniors to the Juniors. The night before graduation the Seniors, in cap and gown, march slowly down the darkened walks carrying a lighted candle. This lighted candle is transferred to a Junior whose duty it is to guard it and carry it on.

The Seniors decide to give their hunting ground to the Juniors, only after the latter promise to uphold all traditions and customs hitherto observed. The significance behind this ceremony is the annual transfer of power from the Seniors to the Juniors. The ceremony itself is impressive. A campfire is built on the campus; around this the chieftains and braves assemble. The scene thus presented is a beautiful one. It has a natural effect and brings to one’s mind pictures of Indian conferences which probably took place on the site not so many years ago. —24—
