OUR THEME Our yearbook, Nenameseck , Takes iTs name from The river which flows Through our Town. Linked wiTh The history of The sTream is The Legend of Nenameseck , a Tale from Indian folklore. According To This legend, Grey Eagle, a young warrior of The Mohican Tribe, which long ago had a seTTlemenT in This valley, slew in self-defense his rival for The aFfecTion of an Indian maid. Because The slain warrior was The son of a renowned chiefTain, Grey Eagle, Though noT To blame, was senTenced To be bound hand and fooT and seT adrifT over The 'Falls in his Tiny canoe. The lndian maid, WhiTe Dove, could noT bear To see Grey Eagle die alone, so aT The lasT momenT she sprang inTo The canoe wiTh him, and TogeTher The Two wenT over The falls. However, deaTh did noT keep Grey Eagle away from The river ThaT he loved, for iT is whispered ThaT his lonely spiriT reTurns aT Times To haunT The sTream. So, as we view our modern Warriors and Maidens of Ware High School, let us noTe The conTrasT ThaT Grey Eagle would Rnd berween his life and ours, if he were To reTurn To earTh Today. Nor is This unlikely, for rumor says ThaT on brighT nighTs The warrior in his canoe can be seen, silhoueTTed in The moonlighT, drifting silenTly down The river Toward The falls.
