As a tribe they feel especially favored in executive and faculty leadership. Who of us will not always feel a deep warmth of tenderness for those who so capably guided us through our four years of education? A history does not deal with the future. lts function is to tell of the past and the present, but we trust we shall be pardoned if we pause for a moment and with hand-shaded eyes permit these young warriors to look into the years beyond. What we see may more truly belong to the class prophet, but we cannot re- frain from expressing the fact that no tribe ever has or ever will go forth from this old camp-site with a finer and clearer record than has been made by the graduating tribe of 1931. And further, we have firm confidence that in the ' ' Who's Who of the years ahead, many of our number will appear and reappear and that all, without a single exception, will find the lasting satisfaction which life well lived is bound to hold. The curtain is going down on this Indian drama fthe history of the tribe of l9fl1l, but just a moment-for we wish the following tribes all the success and pleasure which has been our privilege to enjoy in our four years of high-school education. The curtain is ringing down, but in reality the Big Parade is just commencing. The bugle calls-FORWARD MARCH.

l l Senior Class History Hearken ye! Indians of the mighty tribe of W. C. H. S., warriors young and bold, fair and lovely maidens, and all those in the great world who are inter- ested for I shall relate the legend of the noble tribe of Seniors '31. Come! Let your imagination wander with me to the auditorium. We shall attend the production of an Indian play and view the characters in their daily school-life. The curtain of this drama rises. The audience is enthralled and dis- plays its enthusiasm outwardly, for before its bewildered eyes they witness an Indian camp-fire. The incessant beat of the drum, rum! tum tum! fthe school- bell ringingj intermingled by the savage War whoops of the old experienced tribes, by name Sophomore, Junior, and Senior, greet the ears of twenty-eight papooses, ready to pass upward and receive the training on the old camp site of W. C. H. S., and become honorable Freshmen of this mighty tribe. Chief Alex- ander guided them down the tried paths of knowledge, while engaging in battles with warring tribes of Algebra, Latin, English and Physiography. Even now the audience sees these young Indian braves on the warpath of education headed by their chief. He is followed by two war-aides, medicine men and peace makers, Weld and Edwards. The young leader through all these frays was Gretta L. Elliott, who is seen battling with and encouraging her fellow-tribesman. We now view this outstanding group of victorious Indians-they have defeated all the combined forces of semester tests, initiation, etc., and by the passage of eight moons had acquired a portion of the skill of the older Indians. Regard- less of youth they had learned of their mysterious maneuvering of warfare. proven they possessed talents for activities other than victory on the battle field and loyalty to the tribe as a whole. Hence the peace pipe was smoked on parting to await the settling of camp in the fall. As the audience views the return of these illustrious Indian braves and maid- ens we learn to know them by Sophomores, a more advanced tribe. We find they are combatants as before, in a number of battles led principally by the Geometri- cians, a strong and fierce tribe. However the honor of the tribe of '31 was upheld and victory was again attained under the leadership of Russell Elliott and advice of medicine men, Gibson and Edwards. The end of eight moons quickly arrived with the accomplishment of a glorious triumph. Another season goes by. The tribe of '31 are now known as Juniors. NVe see them holding the usual council-meeting. Heap Big Chi-ef Dunscomb became their guide. The Indian braves elected Big Chief, Vivienne McDonald, Keeper of Wampum Belt and Chief of Parchment, Velma Phillips, Chief Helper, Leland Maxedon. Seven moons pass slowly by. The tribe again gains victory in all the fierce struggles, led by medicine men Phillips and Edwards. They become spon- sors of a heap big banquet to honor their fellow-tribesman and their leaders. The audience views a circus scene of customary gayety and confusion. It proves to be a grand success and the year closes in ultimate triumph. All the braves are eager for the coming camp meeting for it will be their last season among the tribe of W. C II. S. They look forward to achieving a glorious victory. At last the Indian summer closes. The tribe reassembles for one final con- quest to gain a further step of success. The braves have now reached the pinnacle of achievement. We see grave, dignified, Wise Seniors in the place of the timid braves of the Freshmen days. The Indians struggle hard to reach their goal. Throughout the four years we view the activity of various social enterprises, membership in glee club, art club, and participating in other worth-while things. In point of scholastic attainments this tribe gained recognition also. High honors were won by many an earnest contestant. Ideals were firmly established. These Indians were greatly praised for their adeptness in athletics and were represented alll
