NOTES ON THE OHIO HISTORY DAY
ASSOCIATION
TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY MEETING
The Twenty-fifth Anniversary Meeting of
the Ohio History
Day Association was held at Park Place,
the home of Dr. and
Mrs. Howard Jones, Circleville, Ohio,
Sunday, October 3, 1937.
Ohio History Day is usually held at
Logan Elm State Park
but because of rain, the first in the
history of the celebration, the
1937 meeting was moved into Circleville.
The feature of the
Twenty-fifth Anniversary was an Indian
program arranged by
Irene S. McKinley, chairman of the
program committee for this
meeting. Mr. John F. Carlisle, attorney,
of Columbus, Ohio,
acted as master of ceremonies for the
occasion. The principal
address was to have been given by
William Fire Thunder, official
representative to Washington of the
Sioux Indians. He was un-
able to leave his post on the
reservation, however, and in his
place, Thomas White Cow Killer made the
address. Thomas
White Cow Killer has served for a number
of years as one of the
official representatives of the Oglala
Sioux. His speech is pub-
lished in full following these notes.
Another portion of the program which
attracted consider-
able attention was the ceremony in which
a Hopi baby, son of
Chief Eagle Plume and Lone Deer, was
"introduced to the
cosmos." At this ceremony, the
child was given the name of Good
Corn Harvester, according to tradition
of the Corn Clan of the
Hopi. The father and mother of the child
originally lived on a
reservation at Pine Ridge, South Dakota,
but at the present time
are employed in the Museum of the
American Indian in New
York City.
The group assembled at the Jones home
was also addressed
by Hon. C. C. Crabbe. Indian music for
the occasion was fur-
nished by Mr. Richard L. Harris,
Columbus, Ohio. Mrs. How-
