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.

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
