The early historic inhabitants of this area were known as QUIVERA Indians, who lived in this valley and hunted on nearby plains. Later, they were succeeded by other tribes, which included the Wyandottes, who gave their name to our county and school. The Spanish explorer, Coronado, was probably the first European to see the famous land of the Quiveras. He found no gold, and returned to Mexico in disappointment. Since the Quiveras, the settlers and farmers who made this land their home as America moved westward, were to discover the true meaning of the Land of Golden Promise. There is little left to us now of the neolithic culture of these ancient inhabitants but old ghosts of the past. The great hunts, thc migration of the great herds of buffalo, the throb of tom-toms, feasts and dancing, are no more . . . not even in the memory of the oldest now living, but these Indians have left to us their names. Names of places . . . towns and rivers, and we have adopted them as our own. They also gave us, together with a few remaining artifacts, a primitive and symbolic art that has been integrated into the architecture of our school. We call our yearbook the QUIVERIAN . . . a name given the annual by the 1921 staff, who felt that it symbolized the forward look- ing spirit of youthful Kansas. In 1922 it was adopted as the permanent title of the Wyandotte High School Annual. The QUIVERIAN recounts our deads, our doings and our ac- complishments, as did the story tellers of the ancient people, whose Campfires have long been burned out, and who marked the boundaries of the Land of Golden Promise with a flint tipped lance. ,ff 74fU? 7v-exert., - I, , 4 i 117' ..

Page 6 Wyandotte then . . . Wyandotte High School has an interesting his- tory. The first school founded in 1878, was the Wyandotte Academy, a tuition school located where the court house now stands. It was commonly known as the Plamer Academy. In 1866 a free high school department was established in two of the eight rooms of the Riverview Grade School at' Seventh Street and Pacific Avenue. In 1888 the High School was moved to a ten-room brick building that had been vacated by the Palmer Academy. This building later became the Central Grade School. The school was removed to Seventh and Riverview in 1890. There was little activity in the years 1888 and 1899, as a new building at Ninth and Minnesota was under construction, and delays prevented occupancy until Cctober 2nd, 1899. A North Wing was added to the School in 1907 and a South Wing was added in 1910, to meet the need of a growing community. The Pantograph was started in 1917, but the first issue did not appear until January 23, 1920. In 1926 the Kay Ceees were organized. Old Wyandotte High school at Ninth and Minnesota.
