was quick, bright and witty; "Great Buffalo," a girl who was very
strong; Elizabeth Schmidt, "Laughing Water," so named because she
laughed and giggled at everybody and everything; "Babbling Brook,"
because it seemed an utter impossibility for her to stop talking;
"Burr," because she sticks to ideas and friends; "Faith," quiet and
reserved; "Comet," comes suddenly and brings a lot of light; "Black
Hawk," always eager at first, but inclined to let her eagerness wear
off: "Pocahontas," because she never can hurry; "Ginger Foot," a
fiery temper, "Gypsy," so named on account of her black hair; "Bright
Eyes," for her bright, blue eyes; "Rainbow," for her many ways, and
because she is pretty.

lighted the fire, she recited the Ode to the Fire:

"Oh, Fire! Long years ago, when our fathers fought with great beasts,
you were their protector. From the cruel cold of winter you saved.

meat for them. Through all ages your mysterious flame has been a
symbol of the Great Spirit to them. Tonight we light this fire in
remembrance of the Great Spirit Who gave you to us."

Wohelo for aye,
Wohelo for work,
Wohelo for health,
Wohelo,
