-IREJU 3 MEF -Mr. Alton B. cor-bit MPS- Houghton Principal Secretary Dear Students: Many, many, moons have come and gone since the Indian roamed the beautiful hills and vales of western New York. One frequently Wonders what he would think of our civilization were he to return to roam again this area which he undoubtedly loved so much. At our mechanized advance over the handicraft stage of his civiliza- tion, our modern Thruway, our combines, hay bailers, four bottom plows, our TV sets, our big beautiful schools, with the most modern of facilities, to encourage youth and their parents to obtain an education-he would naturally stand in awe. As Abraham Lincoln so aptly put it-nThe only real Americans were those who wore the breechcloth and carried the tomahawk.u One might truly question, as the Indian returning to us from those relatively simple days of his era might question, just how civilized we really are, just what advance we have made in bringing up our children properly, in being able to live together peaceably, in leaving this world a little bit better than we found it. Red Jacket-nHe Who Keeps Then Awaken-eloquent Indian Chief of the Seneca Tribe, who was born near Geneva, New York, understood the white man well when he said, HYou are a kind-hearted people, seeking your own advan- tafes.n Let us nrofit from our past mistakes with the Indians of that day with our neighbors of this day and resolve that we leave our community Qnation, state, and school! a little bit better because of our having been here. Sincerely yours, C3mtu.,B.Q....dL5' Alton B. Corbit Principal 6
