OF all cavities along the gum line that

Twenty Six Seniors To Receive Their Diplomas At Lansing High School
Broad Athletic
Program Planned
For All Students

With war threatening to en-
gulf the entire world people have
become athletic conscious. It is
suddenly realized that if a race
is to survive it must be mentally,
morally, and physical fit. Con-
temporary civilization with I'LL
tramodern conviences tends to
render man physically soft. Con-
sequently, our educational leaders
are strongly advocating planned
athletic program in all the
schools.
At Lansing this year the entire
teaching personnel has lent it's
assistance to the athletic program
set up by Prof. Robert Morphis.
While football, basketball, soft
ball, volleyball, baseball, and
table tennis are the principal
games, various other games are
directed on the Fairgrounds by
all the teachers. It is seen to that
every child participates in pro-
gram designed to build him ply
sically and to develope his sense
Of honestly and fair play.
This year the Lansing football
cam engaged. six opposing
teams; the boys and girls bas-
ketball team played eight confer
ence and two non-conference
teams each.
The school is proud that Estella
Blevins was honored by being
voted the best sport of all the
girls who played basketball in
the county. Ruby Sullivan was
voted as one of the all-star play
ers on the first team, while Miss
Blevins made the third team.
Table tennis has proven to be
very popular with both the boys
and girls. In fact, it has been i'm
possible to supply sufficient equip
ment for all those who desire to
play. A very popular game also
is softball. Although this is es-
pecially adapted to boys, it has
been found that girls like it too.
Some girls have become quite
adept players.
"Th1s year we have not been
able to produce teams generally
as good as usual. However, that
winning alone is not the aim of
play. We have accomplished much
of what we started out to do. We
have had the great pleasure of
seeing our entire student body
developed physically; we are sat-
isfied that while our first aim
has been to inculcate within the
child knowledge, we have never
theless, helped him to grow
strong" athletic director, Robert
Morphis said.

out Forts Smith, Phil kearney and
Reno in that order and another wish
ing to deal the first blow to Phil
Kearney, the fort most detested. It was
finally decided to send warriors against
Forts Smith and Kearney sinful

The band which was to attack Phil
Kearney left at once, having more
than 80 miles to travel. and did not
days later, Aug. 2. The balance OF the
red men. on Aug. l. advanced on Fort
Smith but encountered the workmen
at the hay field, 81 miles north of the
fort, and were given such a trimming
by 10 white men there that they lost
all thought of attacking the fort.
Just as they did at the Wagon Box
fight, the soldiers and civilians at the
hay field fought behind the protec-
ton Of an improvised corral. Logs
were laid on the ground around a
space about 100 feet square Upright
posts were set in the earth at inter-
walls and to them stringers were nailed.
In between the stringerS were tightly
woven masses Of willow boughS with
leaves and twigs attached and so
thickly interlaced as to form a good
place for the stock at night as well
as for defense purposes. 1t was i'm
possible to see through the willows.
The friendly Crow Indians had re-
field of the great massing Of the Sioux
hosts and the impending attack, but
the white men, usually too confident
for their own good regarding their
ability to whip Indians, laughed off
the alarm.
Hear Indians Warwhoop
Then, on that fateful August morn-
ing, about $50 o'clock, the men har-
vesting hay heard a blood-chilling
toward them in such numbers that
they realized the warning of the Crows
had not been mere idle chatter.
The men made 1t to the corral safe
ly and then began the grim battle for
survival and the spectacular slaughter
of the attacking force. The soldiers In
the corral. with their ereech-loading
guns. and the civilian employees. with
repeating rifles, literally moved down
shot. who was armed with repeating
rifle, was said to have killed at least
$50 Indians alone.
Behind their fort of willow boughs.
their only chance was to keep down
out Of sight and fire fast and aecu-
rately. Two soldiers were killed early
in the battle because they insisted on

The Indians charged repeatedly.
only to be driven back. They fired
flaming arrows into the willows. They
killed all the stock picketed inside the
enclosure, but they couldn't route their
white foes.
Early In the fray the defenders were
stimulated by the belief that assistance
would come momentarily from Fort
Smith. It came" finally. about 5

white men simply threw open the
breech-blocks of the new rifles to eject
the empty shells and slapped in fresh
ones. They we're thus able to keep up
a steady, effective fire and the In
dams were soon glad to withdraw to
safe distance.
Reports of the Wagon Box fight
have said that the boxes were made
Of boiler iron, or that they were lined
with steel and had loopholes through
the sides. This. according to accounts
by men who participated in the battle,
is nonsense. They were ordinary wood
en- wagon boxes, with not particle
of iron anywhere, except the bolts,
Stay-StrapS and nuts used in holding
them together.
The fight took place under blazing
sun and the defenders fought bare
headed using their caps and hats as
ammunition containers. To add to
. their acute discomfort the Indians
| shot flaming arrows into the corral
| These ignited scattered bits OF hay
and dry manure and created a smoke
and stencil that nearly Strangled the
men at times. Max Littman, a sergeant,
who survived the fight, said II relief

continued to do battle more than an
other half hour They we're at the
point Of total exhaustion.
Indians in Retreat
Then, suddenly the Indians on the
hill at the top of the ridge began, by
twos and threes, to start down the
steep decline into Big Piney valley
Then there was heard the boom of a
big gun to the east A rescue party
from Fort Phil Kearney had arrived
The grimy men inside the corral
jumped to their feet and yelled They
threw their caps into the air Rugged
one another and sobbed in deliriums
Of joy. The awful strain was over.
For their gallantry under such ter
rifle odds each man was recommended
for a medal of honor They had GER
tainly earned this distinction-but no:
. man ever received a medal.

Capt James w. Powell. He gave but
one order, as he saw Indians boiling
up from all sides like waves of hor-
nets: Men, here they come. Take
your places and shoot to kill"
In the affray there were at least
1000 Indians. Their attack was
launched about 7 a. m. All that day
and until late afternoon that tiny
band of desperate, straight-shooting
men took everything their foemen
could dish out and lost but three men.
Charge after charge was hurled back
just when it seemed nothing could
prevent the Sioux from breaking
through.
New Rifles Save Day
AS was the case in the Hay Field
fight, breech-loading, Soc Ii b e r
Springfield rifles saved the day. After
the defenders had commenced firing,
a large number of Indians rode in
very close, within $50 yards, and waited
for the white men to draw ramrods
for reloading, as they supposed the
old muzzle-loaders were being en-
ployed But instead OF drawing ram
rods and losing precious time, the
