T, Kipikawi The clock struck 12:00, the moon was high, but still no sign of the legendary Kipikawi. Several students became un- easy as they sat on the bank of Root River waiting for a sign of Kipi. Could it be that the legend as told bv Mr. Sanders was wrong? 1 The legend is this: When the rivalry between' Park and Horlick had first begun, the winners of the Park-Horlick game received the prize of all prizes, Kipikawi. Kipikawi was no ordinary reward, and when won it need- ed the utmost care and respect of the vic- tors as long as they kept it. This certain year Kipi was won by Horlick. As Park had, Horlick took very good care of Kipi, but one day they went to the place Where it was kept, and he had disappeared. Seeing the importance of losing such a valuable trophy, they immediately searched everywhere but had no luck: for Kipikawi was never found. It is be- lieved by those who know, or should know, that since Kipikawi was a turtle, he returned to his home, beautiful R o ot River. It's said by some that if you sit on the banks ofthe River on a summer night when the moon is full, you may once again- see Kipikawi .... ' S . Q A 9-:. W , :YQ . ill' f, ,f,g 6
