THE TATLE R—1 9 2 6 27 And our chieftan for that season Was Mama, he the jay bird, Who the paleface knows as Jay Ward. In the second nine-moon-season We were as the Loon birds, Wise Fools, Shur-shuh-gah, the silly Loon birds. We had a princess, not a chieftan, Ruling o’er us in that season. Her we called Laughing Water, Minne-ha-ha, Mildred Mitchell. When this season had been finished We had half our course completed In the Lodge of Many Medecenes. In the third nine-moon-season Nahma, he the king of fishes, Nahma, who we call the Sturgeon, Nahma, Wilbur Phillips to the paleface, Was our sachem, great and mighty. All the othea ' s called us Storm Fools, Called us Storm Fools, Pau-pulc-keewis. Now the time when we were strongest Came to us as an arrow To the heart of a roebuck. We, the great war eagle, Keneu, We were Keneu whom none could conquer. Again Nahma, the painted Sturgeon, Was our ruler, was our chieftan. We were as Gheezis, the Sun, is: So bright we were that none beheld us; In our deeds so high and lofty We were as Gheezis, the Sun, is. Ah Kaween! The time is staid not, No indeed! It went not slowly, But as a swiftly flying arrow When ’tis shot with bows of ashwood. Then a day, a day of sorrow, Came and I was as a wretch is: Never have I seen my comrades; Never have our paths beep crossed.” And the tom-tom, sobbing softly, Seemed to echo the old man’s wiiisper As he said in tones of sorrow, “Ah! showain nemshin, nosa!” “Ah ' pity me, my father!” —BLANCHE PHILLIPS.

THE TATLE R—1 9 2 6 29 GEORGIA EUNICE ADKINS “ Sleepy” Fruitland, Maryland Speech is silver, silence is ( olden.’’ To us, Georgia at all times has i)een a very quiet girl. Always is she ready to participate in all class duties, for she is a staunch member. She is never seen without her midget friend, Madelyn, and we hope these two good friends will never be separated. Georgia comes to us from Fruitland, so we know she’s all right. Always wearing a bright, cheerful smile and being a good worker, she is a great ad¬ dition to our class. Here’s luck for you. Favorite Expression —Gee-Whiz! Known By —Her accompanying pal. Hobby —Coming to Salisbury. English Club EMMA LYDIA BAILEY Babes” Salisbury, Maryland More wide than tall but a kindly little body. Behold! one of the typewriting gen¬ iuses of the Commercial Department; for, with Emma, making fifty-five words a minute is just a small matter. Emma is veiy fond of playing her ukelele and when you hear her play you think she surely can make one talk. Just listen in on one of her “jazz” quartettes and see if you don’t feel like doing the Charleston. She is a very charming young lady and is a constant companion of Miss Catherine Phillips. It is an every day occurrence to see this pair strolling down town after school. Emma’s ambition is to work as a pri¬ vate secretary for a government official in Washington. May happiness and success crown your days to come, “Babe.” Favorite Expression —Thank you, dear! Known By—Her dancing. Hobby— ' Going with C. V. P.
