Mrs. Boesel. Mr. Stroh The Board of Education controls the educational institutions of the settlement of Wapa and Koneta. Many times this group of warriors holds councils till the night sun rides high in the sky. They have powpows to determine how the schools can be conducted to serve best the whole tribe. They wish to educate the'papooses of the tribe so they will become strong, brave, intelligent warriors. They barter their wampum wisely for the betterment of the schools. The best teachers of mysteries are hired to develop the young braves to be brave chiefs and warriors. The Board consists of Mr. C. E. Veit, President; Dr. George B. Faulder; Mrs. O. J. Boesel; Mr. Ed. Trau; and Mr. Carl D. Fischer. Mr. E. J. Stroh is the clerk of the Board. This group of prominent citizens of the tribe has succeeded in providing a school that ranks high in the state. Graduates of Blume High are equipped to enter any college and make a success of life. The students of Blume High wish to thank the members of the Board for preparing them to face the future with confidence and hope. O' (SECRET ROOMS) AND THE COUNCILS HERE CONVENED, SUMMONING Braves Squaws Papooses ----o--- THE GREATEST ORATORS AND WARRIORS OF THE SURROUNDING NA- Tale of the Elders It is harvest time many, many moons ago, and the Redskin camp is busy making ready for the long winter. It is on this day that many new papooses come to join the tribe. When all is settled these newcomers start to master the talking leaves. All through the winter they work diligently to learn about the Redskin customs. Then comes the summer and each little Indian is very happy. The time passes quickly though, and all too soon they are back to their winter tasks. The guardian spirit watches over them and guides them safely through another year. Now when they start upon the third year, they also start a flaming career of starring in sports. How proud all of them were to see the few who could bring home honors of winning and bravery. They also had the great responsibility of carrying the tribe's news through The Lantern. They make this a success because it is really the only great responsibility that has been put upon them. At the end of that same year a big powow is given for the older warriors and their squaws. The summer passes and these Redskins find themselves on their last year with the tribe. Near the beginning of this same year the Great Spirit enters the tribe and takes one of our best warriors, Billy Kohler, to the Happy Hunting Ground. Now since these braves and squaws have passed through all the stages of the tribe there is nothing here for them. Each must launch his own canoe on the Big Sea Water of Life to paddle by himself and try to put the knowledge he gained from the Redskin tribe into practice. o TIONS.

Kathleen Smith. Norman Fogt. Evelyn Lusk. Orva Cannon. Helen Heil. Virginia Veit. Robert Gesler. Carroll Kuhns. Betty Varner. Emily Garretson. During the autumn of 1933 Mr. Swearingen gained as bounty for Blume High School a charter in the National Honor Society, it is entirely through his efforts that we have become members of his very worth-while organization. The object of this chapter is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the tribe of the Redskins. Fifteen percent of the outgoing braves and squaws each year are elegible to become members of this lodge. It is our desire to have the names of the last year's squad in the 1935 Retrospect. They are as follows: Frederick Jacobs, Harley Nelson, Cornelius Loew, Martha Swearingen, John Moser, Leonard Koch, Eleanor Jane Abe, Eugene Boogher, William Wenning, Roland Morris, Marcella Bimstein, and Marjean Headapohl. To this list of names the following are added this year: Betty Varner, Emily Garretson, Norman Fogt, Evelyn Lusk, Helen Heil, Jacobs Boesel, Robert Gesler, Virginia Veit, Carroll Kuhns, Kathleen Smith, Cleo Metzger, Orva Cannon. Lloyd Stiles and Dorothy Schuler are prospectives and it is possible that in the final tally several of the last places will be changed. ------o------ TLE. THE MAIDEN, KONETA, LISTENED WITH GROWING WONDER AND Tale of The Juniors One bright day, many moons ago, new papooses came to join the Redskin tribe. The Great Spirit watched over them until they had grown accustomed to the ways and manners of the warriors and squaws. Always when the thunder birds flew across the camp the guardian spirit watched over the future braves and squaws. They labored over the talking leaves, guided by the chiefs who were anxious to have them become brave and strong. Since they worked so hard they were at last able to capture honors in sports. The whole tribe was proud of these few who had the most to do with the success of the football team. These braves were Cy Metzger, Everett Cornell, George Gibbs, Walter Elsass, Warren Mesarvey, Jim Shaw, Herschel Bailey and Billy Steinbaugh. Cy Metzger and Everett Cornell both did their parts when the Reskins camp went on a basketball war path. When it came to track meets, Herschel Bailey was not left behind. During the past year a group of braves and squaws were permitted to carry the tribe's news through The Lantern . Here again, they were happy to be able to serve the tribe. All during the year they planned a powwow for the older Redskins in the camp. At the end of the year when they gathered amid bright lights, gay music, and beautiful decorations, everyone was happy to be allowed at last to join in the annual war dance. Now these Redskins have but one more year left. They can go in peace because nearly all feel that they have done their parts. ----O---- INTEREST TO THESE REPORTS GIVEN HER HONORED FATHER, CHIEF Juniors of The Tribe FIRST ROW: H. Bailey. D. Fritz.

This year a papoose came to join the activities group of Blume High School. After much deliberation it was decided to admit the young one into their exclusive circle. This little papoose began her life as a Petition and was formally presented by a majorty of the student body. When she was accepted, of course a new name had to be provided and they changed Petition to Student Council. Since that time this council has gained power until at the end of the years, the entire village looks upon it as that which rules all extra-curricular activities. Every seven suns the members, who have been chosen by their tribe-mates, meet along with three faculty advisors. Some of their important questions have been presented to the tribe in an effort to find out the general opinion on the matters. The council sponsored all the dances which were held after basketball games and divided the wampum among several of her more needy sister lodges. This section of our Redskin Tribe really deserves praise for the things it has conquered in its first year. If the successors value the trust placed in them, the tribe will eventually have in its midst a veteran organization of true worth. o NESS. MANY TIMES AS THE NIGHT SUN RODE HIGH IN THE HEAVENS MEMBERS OF THE TRIBE TOOT THEIR OWN HORN Adh © Lodge of Commerce Each year the Redskins send forth their special representatives into the world of industry. These squaws and braves must individually seek to earn wampum for their maintenance. However, they are banded together in school as the Lodge of Commerce'' where they receive beneficial aid under the able direction of Big Chief Taylor. At their powows they forget the inscriptions on talking leaves and for the time being center their interest on warriors of big business who explain the diffculties one must overcome in order to run the gauntlet of life with any degree of success. The tribal chiefs are Nevelyn Jackson, Leona Beckwith, Audrae Smith, Treasurer; Emily Garretson, Secretary. Under their direction the lodge has been able to paddle its canoe of good will along untroubled waters. It has become an anual affair for the tribe to entertain their friends at a box social. After the banquet the usual tribal dance is held with everyone participating. A feature attraction this year was the presence of a medicine man who for a small pittance of wampum explained the future to the curious squaws and braves. A tour was embarked upon by the lodge at which time they were conducted through the village's main offices. By so doing, a clearer insight into the industrial mechanism was attained.

Jackson O HE STOOD BY THE SWIFT FLOWING WATERS AND WOOED HER BY Indian Scouts In order to inform the village of the conquests and progress of the Tribe of the Redskins, each week news scavengers round up the latest and fit it to print. When there's trouble in the camp an Indian brave reports it and pleas are made to the tribe for a revision of the cause. Sometimes their efforts are gratified, others are rejected. In spite of this, the sturdy group sticks to the stern and raises above the rift of the troubled waters. The day before publication one can see the members of the group scurrying about the camp in an effort to round up the last bits of news. By cooperating with the Daily News the school's sheet appears every Wednesday. In this way the people of the village have the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the school side of life in this community. For the first time the Staff has asked the Student Council if each member may receive a Redskin letter in return for the service that he has rendered to the tribe throughout the nine moons. Those reporters, headed by Carolyn Abraham as their chief, who have made the Lantern such a success certainly deserve some recompense. The Blume High camp is proud to reward them with letters!

Cannon. E. Langhorst Night had fallen on the reservation. All was quiet in the camp of the Redskins; each was in his wigwam. There was a restless feeling in the heart of seventeen, and they were sore afraid. To them had been left the duty of compiling on talking leaves, the tribal activities for the last nine moons. If they did not succeed in doing it well, they were doomed. For their chance comes but once and it must surpass all previous efforts. Now a strange thing happened. Almost in unison each maid and brave took up a roll of birchbark and a stone, stealthily creeping out of his teepee. Although they were surprised at seeing the other members of their group, an eerie silence prevailed. Suddenly a great light shown, awakening in them a new sense. Prosaic figures appeared before them, some on the wigwams, others on the ground. They translated them and inscribed the story on the birch bark. Great events of the past were recalled, and the Indians were joyous. Surely if such powers were vested in them by the Great Spirit to see these things come to pass, wouldn't the same spirit manifest itself so to aid them in the production. To you, Tribe of the Redskins, this warrior staff presents, as nearly as possible, the outstanding events as they came before them. o GLADLY CONSENTED TO THEIR MARRIAGE. THEY LIVED HAPPILY Hi-Y Braves Every half moon Big Chief Bush emits a war cry which brings forth all the Hi-Y braves from their teepees into the powow arena where they conduct a parley. These warriors endeavor To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and village, a high standard of Christian character. This lodge represents the highest type brave, mentally, morally, and socially. Chief Smith is their pilot and he is assisted by Braves Lusk and Koch. Six of the lodge journeyed to Marietta in December, where they met in conclave with representatives of various other tribes to discuss future warfare. They returned with many new ideas which they wished on their red brothers and sisters. To make the matter more convincing Bill Chambers, Guardian Spirit of the National Lodge, was brought along to plead the cause at a tribal meeting. On April 6 the local braves were hosts to the members of the tribes in this district. About one-hundred and fifty were present at the council. They were entertained and enlightened by many speakers who came from alien reservations. They sponsored a program in the gym given by the Canney Players in February. These braves came from Kentucky and gave the school an interesting interpretation of the hardships endured among their tribes. FIRST ROW: M. Varner, B. Jarvis. J. Ramge. B. Schaub, P. Steeh. K. Koch.

This year the tribe's Guardian Spirit is Big Chief Cupp who has added many interesting facts about her previous years on a western reservation. Squaw Varner is the Chief; Ethel Langhorst, Vice-Chief; Emily Garretson, Secretary; Helen Heil, Treasurer. Other cabinet members are Orva Cannon, Music Chairman; Pera Shappel, Social Chairman; Virginia Veit, Ring Chairman; June Pfenning, Devotion Chirman; Audrae Smith, Service Chairman. The tribal members were participants at the state and district councils. Four delegates were sent to the State Conference at Columbus and sixteen girls had the privilege of being present at the district council in Piqua on March 30. Valuable information was brought back and the squaws gave reports in their powows. Throughout the nine moons they also had three banquets. The Squaws of the Triangle joned forces with the Hi-Y braves to give one of the outstanding snake dances of the period. The Gym was gayly decorated and balloons as well as confetti, hats, and horns added to the enjoyment of the affair. ----o---- OF THE TRIBE.

Their best members had left the tribe to journey into other reservations and see life. Suddenly the Great Chief's brow cleared. Of course, there were some new members to the tribe who had taken the. places of those out-going Redskins. Then why couldn't there be musicians to replace the old? It is these young Indians who are to be thanked for perpetuating the orchestra section. These papooses came in willing to learn the ways of the warroirs and have now earned a place among them. They have rendered their services by supporting the operetta and also the Senior Class play. There isn't a member of the tribe who hasn't felt at times like stopping his work when he hears the strains of Intermezzo as the orchestra practices every Monday. So it is for the benefit of these music lovers that periodically tribal activities cease and the whole camp enjoys itself at the expense of the players. The Redskins of next year have something to look forward to, in that the Grade Orchestra has been practicing with the veteran group and therefore, these maids and braves will step right into the places vacated by the Seniors. o LAGE, THEY CALLED IT WAPAKONETA IN MEMORY OF THE GREAT War Drums At the football games of the Redskin tribe it was a familiar sound to hear the roll of tomtoms in the distance, drawing closer and closer, preparing to cheer the warriors of the team on to victory. There were nearly fifty braves and squaws to swell the ranks. How proud we all were to see them marching down the field, led by Warrior Crawford Taylor strutting ahead. At the snake dance the eve before the great war with St. Marys on Thankskiving Day, they brought the good spirits to provide a gay time. Under the night sun they played and cheered with the rest of the tribe to chase away all evil or luckless spirits. Although our band has not yet raised the necessary funds to get new uniforms we believe that the good spirits will provide a means by which these braves and squaws can make us yet more proud. This organization of Redskins did not participate in the district contest this year. Instead, they met in the big teepee of the camp and presented their talents. Under the successful guidance of Mr. Steiner, the chief, the band has been made a necessity to the tribe. May it ever be a war cry for the braves of our teamsl FIRST ROW: D. Fritz. J. Miller. R.

During the Autumn session Big Chief Steiner called a last round up of all the inhabitants of the camp who thought there was rhythm in their war cry. Of his number about seventy-five were chosen to carry on the tribal festivities for the coming nine moons. Squaws and braves alike were admitted to the council. After much preparation which took them from their regular tribal duties, their day of doing arrived. The entire camp took on an air of festivity and when the night sun appeared braves could be seen with their squaws leaving the wigwams and all were headed in the same direction. The teepee which was the center of the camp was illuminated and within the tom-toms had begun to sound a warning for quiet. The operetta Miss Cherry Blossom had begun, and from beginning to end it was the best musical presentation for many a summer. The Redskins have had Chief Steiner as their Guardian Spirit for the last four years. During that time the tribal meetings have gradually been improved, until now a powow would not be complete if someone of his braves did not step forth and show his skill, as developed by the great Chief. ------O------- SPIRIT WHO FAVORED THE TRIBE OF WAPA AND KONETA WATCH- Miss Cherry Blossom The singing classes in our Redskin camp gathered one evening in the big tepee and presented to the rest of the tribe and the public, a musical comedy. For many moons they had practiced under the guidance of their chief Mr. Steiner, and at last the time had come. As the curtains parted the plot slowly was revealed: Kokemo (Crawford Taylor) who is the proprietor of the Japanese Tea Garden, employes a number of Geisha Girls among whom is his adopted daughter Cherry (Kathryn Oschner). A group of Americans, traveling through Japan, stop at the tea garden. Jack (Bob Parish) meets and falls in love with Cherry. Kokemo, however, will not consent to their marrage because he wishes Cherry to marry Togo (Arthur Musser) a wealthy politician. Jack and Cherry plan to elope, but are prevented from doing so by Kokemo. Kokemo reveals that Cherry is really an American whose parents died leaving her in Kokemo's charge when she was a baby. Togo loses his money and position. Kokemo consents to the marriage of Cherry and Jack. Jessica (Helen Jane Lusk) and Harry (Dwain Fritz) were American visitors who were quite humorous in the portrayal of the parts of undecided sweethearts. Many moons have passed since that time but the memory of their • success still lingers with us. BACK ROW: B. Elsass. B. Zerkel. G. Lanning. R. Lusk. R. Beery. E. Buffenbarger. D. Saddler, M. Krieger.

In a mythical kingdom, King Eric VIII (Crawford Taylor) is the supposed supreme ruler. However the Queen (Virginia Veit) dominates the King, the Army, the Parliament, and her daughter with relentless hand. The daughter Princess Anne (Emily Garretson) is in love with the King's Secretary, Granton (Arthur Musser) but for diplomatic reasons, she has been engaged to Prince William of Greek, (Waldo Smith). The Queen goes to America, there is a revolution, and Anne gives up her chance to elope with Granton to stay with her father. Prince William comes, but just before the procession to the church, the King makes it possible for Granton and Anne to escape to a ship and leave the kingdom together. In a last noble scene the King assumes his power, subdues the revolution by arbitration and providing for a national election; dismisses the arrogant General and Premier Northrup (Karl Koch) and the suave diplomat (Jacob Boesel) and makes the monarchy supreme. The entire cast are to be commended for their excellent performance. The character parts were strong and were well portayed. It was a costume play in which the uniforms and gowns of the royalty made an impressive effect Under the capable direction of Mrs. Robert Soules former teacher and director of Dramatics, the play was a very great success. -O WITH THE RICH GRAIN.

During September, October, and November the Redskin warriors went on the warpath against the most fearless tribes around. With only eight days of warfare training this band of inexperienced but strong-hearted youths met their enemy, Bellefontaine. They were not victorious, but defeat only strengthened the determination of these lads. After a great battle with the St. Marys' tribe, our Redskins were forced to retreat. They cunningly prepared themselves for a counter-attack on Thanksgiving Day. Our Braves spirits were still unflagging when the Shawnee tribe scored against us. In the dark of the moon before Thanksgiving a snake dance was held by the Redskins tribesmen. When blood-curdling war-cries and brandishing tomahawks the tribe demanded the scalp of St. Marys. When invoked by the medicine man, the Great Spirit foretold victroy. A great crowd went to the scene of battle. The Redskins rushed into action with shrieking war whoops. In a furious battle, the braves showed their stout hearts, fleet feet, and massive strength by obtaining the desired scalp. So another football season is past. Peace reigns in the teepees of the Redskins. Our braves are having spring training under Big Chief Hamm. With a veteran, well-organized squad ready for the opening war-cry in the fall, the Redskin warriors should be victorious in their gridiron battles next season. BLED TO CELEBRATE THE GATHERING OF THE WELCOMED HARVEST. Redskins of The Round Ball As the time for the big snows drew nigh those braves of stout heart and true assembled to defeat the tribe in the warfare for the painted victory sticks of basketball. Sure of their prowess they sallied forth into battle. Alas, the evil spirits hovered over them and they returned home with war feathers trailing in defeat. But they invoked the aid of the Great Spirit who lent wings to their heels and they nearly brought the victory sticks to adorn their wigwams. Creeping stealthily with ear to the ground, the Redskins stalked their foe, Sidney, but found their war drums beating and their tomahawks ready. Our braves retreated, fearing failure, but at the last minute the chief led a final attack that turned defeat to victory. Suddenly the sky was dark with war birds as a strange tribe from the South-east (Ohio School for the Deaf) silently invaded the camp. Handicapped by their lack of war cries, many Redskin warriors fell in the fray. In the regional battle the Redskins defeated the powerful warriors from Upper Sandusky. Soon after, however, our braves were beaten by Bucyrus. We must not forget the papooses of the Redskin tribe, the reserves. This is the fourth time in four years that the victory sticks have rested with our junior Redskin warriors. TOP ROW: N. Krapf. B. Howell. Mr. Hamm. Mr. Swearingen. H. Kantner. SECOND ROW: O.

No squaws or papooses can belong to this club but only those great, strong Indian warriors are eligible. The Redskins first organized this club in '33. It has grown to be a valuable addition to our village. The purpose of the band is to promote better sportmanship, better training, fellowship, cooperation, and high scholastic standing among our braves. It is the duty of every warrior to upholding these high standards at all times. Under Big Chief Hamm, the club has had a great success. The Chief always does his best to make the club's pow-wows worthwhile and tries to make his Indians enjoy clean warfare. The braves, after a serious conclave, chose John Orphal as their Chieftain. Other braves chosen were Cy Metzger, vice-chief; Everett Cornell, scribe; and Bill Howell, treasurer. This efficient group of braves contributed much to the club's success. This club has accomplished much through their pow-wows and their influence upon their fellow tribesmen. They have succeeded in creating a fine school spirit, in uplifting the standards of sportmanship and in finding a spirit of cooperation and fellowship. ----O--- GUESTS REVERED THE MEMORY OF THE GREAT WAPA AND HIS BEAU- Camp Gossip o- TIFUL DAUGHTER. NOW THE MIGHTY STREAM, AUGLAIZE, FLOWS Foolishness, Frivolity, A PLEDGE Awkward young brave, and shy young maid, Laughingly pleading for upper class aid— The Freshies are frightened! Proud heads held high—so sure of their way, Assured, proud Redskins, the Freshies can play— Their burdens are lightened. Many moons have passed since they slipped through a room Alone, unnoticed—brows furrowed with gloom— They've learned that they're needed! Unlike most Seniors, this class puts its faith In the gay, whooping greenie to whose far off wraith The trust of the '35 Seniors is deeded. o PAST A CITY. GONE ARE THE WIGWAMS OF THE INDIANS; IN THEIR Fun and Frolic REDSKIN CAMP With blood-curdling war-whoops and cries of defiance, Our Redskins have fought in bold self-reliance; Not always winning but sure to be fair. When courage is needed, our braves are right there. Not only in sports does Blume Camp excel But in music and gay operettas as welkin class plays, our maidens and dashing young youths Expound about love and mysterous truths. Pow-wows and festivals, meetings and dances— Social life rightly our school day enhances; And now, as we leave school, our leaders and chiefs Smoke a peace pipe to wish us much joy and few griefs. o PLACE ARE STATELY BUILDINGS.
