That fall they picked the colors of purple and gold and the Constitution was drawn up. The first draft of North Summits bylaws of today came into existence. It called for only two studentbody officers, a president and a secretary. One evening in May, 1915, those 13 students assembled on the stand in the Summit Stake Tabernacle before friends and relatives to receive the first diplomas and the first to wear the gold and purple tassels of North Summit High. It was not until the year 1926-2- 7 that North Summit High School had a mascot. By this time, athletics were getting big among North Summit. The Braves-to-b- e had already won their first region championship in the year of 1925. It was a game between South Summit played in the spring of 1925 that made history, winning for North Summit its first championship trophy. The game was held in 2 Morgan. The score of brought victory for North Summit in the big basketball game. Following the game, a wild tribe celebrated the of Braves-to-b- e gold and purple with the traditional snake dance through Morgan. They went to state and lost to the Murray Spartans and the Bingham Miners but still North Summit had something to be proud of, its first championship. The Student Council called an assembly. They needed a mascot. Nominations went up and contests were held. The "Rams hit quite big among the students at first. With Lewis Peak looking over Coalville, the name "Mountaineers became quite popular. In fact, it went into the mascot finals. The lynx also made it into the finals. Then came a rum tie-o- ff 14-1- be. Then names for the publications had to be created. Contests were given to see who could come up with the best names. The papoose won for the literary magazine. The Chieftain ruled the yearbook. And the War Whoop was submitted as a joke, it stuck, and North Summit's newspaper, since then, has been a War Whoop. The Class of 1927 gave North Summit its mosaic emblem, an Indian Head that has been in the floor of that school now for 60 years. This was given as their class gift. To raise the money for this the class sold ice cream bars at noon at a nickel a piece. When they would have dances, each of the classes would sell things in the corners of the gym; in one corner the juniors would sell another corner new Elders Quorum presidency was named for Coalville Harvey Porter from Henefer 2nd Ward and Alan Hicken from Coalville 2nd Ward were sustained as High Priests. The following young men were sustained to be ordained Elders in 1st Ward in the general priesthood meeting. Released were Wade Judd as pres., Val Brown and Mike Judd as counselors and Craig Sargent as secretary. the Melchizedek Priesthood: the sophomores would sell candy and so forth. It cost $200 which was a lot of money 60 years ago for a class to come up with. A contest was held among the students to choose the best looking Indian Head. Irene Stephens Rowsers drawing won. Right from the very beginning the mosiac became sacred to the Braves of North Summit. It was washed frequently and fenced off. The tradition began that nobody was to step on it. The memory that most of the alumni would say they remembered the most was stepping on it and having to scrub it with a tooth brush. Just about every fresh- - ", man can remember doing that as. ' part of their initiation. Down. ; through the years you weren't a loyal Brave if when we were playing a ball game and a neighboring school would just walk right over it. Down inside of you, your blood would boil and your stomach turn and you would be ready to fight the biggest opposing fan to protect it. No matter who was around when it was walked on, you could count on them informing this person that we don'i walk on it. All alumni have special memories of it. it was in the central part of the school where you went to and from classes and in and out of the building. Many times you would say to a friend. Meet me at the Indian Head after fourth hour. It holds a special place in the hearts of all who ever attended the old North Summit High School. It was truly respected and cherished by ati. It was recently taken from the floor of the old high school and given to the Alumni Association. A committee was formed and several meetings were held to discuss many ways for restoring it. When it was first taken from the floor, it was in a huge block cement. The people removing it were not sure how much of thi cement could be removed and still keep the Indian Head together. It was later discovered that the Indian Head could be lifted out of the block of cement. A nice oak frame has been put around it and it now hangs in the new high school auditorium. It was presented to the student-bodand the alumni at the homecoming assembly on Oct. y 23, 1987. We want to invite everyone to come and see how nice it looks. The Alumni Association is still asking for donations to help pay for it. Any amount will be appreciated. These can be sent to the Alumni Association, Box 598. Coalville. UT 84017.

The fact that Indians used to roam this valley may have had an effect on the swaying to Braves. After all, the old school sits on an old 'campground and burial ground of the Shoshone Indians.
