TRIB Lhistor Ctisseopsm It has been my duty to dig up ancient tribal history to be reviewed by you, but there is so much to be told and so little space that I shall jot down only the hight lights in the Tribal History of '52. Many moons ago we were lowly greenhorns, mere Freshmen, who as young papooses were much delighted to have entered senior high. We hoped only to do well and accomplish much. To help us succeed, we elected Andy Wind as chief with Pat Maxwell as vice chief. Squaw Jackie Robinson took over the scribe's spot and Steve Sychtysz was treasurer. Under their leadership our class was tops. Hiawathas struggled very hard in Freshman year, but were well rewarded as they moved one notch higher on the totem pole and entered their Sophomore year. So far we were the finest tribe in the Whitesboro nation and to prove it we threw heap big dance, the Soph Hop, with baseball as our theme. Our hop was the biggest dance of the school year. To help keep us on an even keel during the year, we of hard work, we did. All through the Easter vacation and many a long night after school, the art committee under the guidance of ,I ack Bathrick slaved to create the beautiful Hawaiian scenes. Pete Kowal and Rita Kupiec were crowned King and Queen of our Hawaiian Magic. Although the prom has long been over, we'll never, never forget it. Finally the Tribe of '52 was at the top of the totem pole. Yes, at long last, we were Seniors! Four years seemed like a long time. Yet as we look back now, it has been only too short. This was our year, so without any more elected Sitting Bull Hovey as our chief of the tribe. Ann Howard, Margaret Roberts and Dot Monroe the other tribal council positions. Many tribal members tried out for the Senior play. Gene Oderkirk and Carol O'Connor captured the lead roles in Glamour Boy. Miss Dey, our director, narrowly averted a nervous breakdown, but in spite of all, the play was a huge success and made heaps of wampum to help support our Yearbook. ado we Squaws filled in elected as our chief warrior, Dick Malsan. with braves Bill Stewart and Pete Kowal assisting. Tribe scribe was squaw Ann Howard. Then came our Junior year. The Tribe of '52 was fast becoming a legend in the annals of Whitesboro, but there was heap much work to do. Again, Warrior Malsan led the tribe with the assistance of Medicine Man Wheeler. Squaw ,lackie Robinson was scribe and we chose Pete Kowal wampum holder. Tribe members were far sighted for they realized the need for wampum if Tribe was to have a Junior Prom or the Yearbook next year. As a result. Juniors could always be found selling something. Along with all the hustle before the prom, our rings arrived. They were of the Academy Award design to show everyone that we were the star class of W.C.S. You could always tell a Junior by the sparkle he shoved in front of your face. We held a big pow-wow and chose .lim Weaver and Sonya Smolinsky to head our prom committee. We were deter- mined to have the best prom ever and as a result of a heap I Tribe held another pow-wow and chose squaw Ann Howard as Editor-in-Chief of the Yearbook. Squaw Marge Gardner was our Art Editor and Warrior Dick Malsan was our Business Editor. Money was still the deciding factor, so tribal members could be seen selling Christmas cards, magazines and Yearbook subscriptions. The tribe also spon- sored two Senior dances and many school assemblies. At last, after much hard work and many sleepless nights, enough wampum was collected and our Che-ga-quat-ka went to press. The big night arrived, and the Tribe of '52 graduated. This was followed by our last big get-together to come for many moons, our Senior Ball. So ends the history of the Tribe of '52. All of us will go our many different ways and do many different things, but we shall always share one common knowledge of the fun and enjoyment we had together as the Class of '52. Respectfully submitted, CHIEF SCRIBE PETE DURHAM 271
