COMMENT SACRED RAIN ARROW: HONORING THE NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE OF THE STATES WHILE BALANCING THE CITIZENS’ CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS Amelia Coates* Abstract Many states’ histories and traditions are steeped heavily in Native American culture, which explains why tribal imagery and symbolism are prevalent in official state paraphernalia such as license plates, flags, and state seals. Problems arise for states using Native American artwork when a citizen takes offense to the religious implications of Native American depictions, and objects to having it displayed on any number of items. This Comment will examine the likely outcome of cases involving Establishment Clause and compelled speech claims arising from Native American images and propose a solution for balancing the constitutional rights of the citizens while still honoring the states’ rich Native American heritage.

    WITH APOLOGIES TO LEWIS CARROLL THE ALUMNAE BANQUET Photo by Green The Alumnae Association The Officers President EDITH A. MCDOUGLE '18 Vice-President Corresponding Secretary MARY JANE MASON WILLS '19 ELIZABETH TAYLOR '22 Recording Secretary Treasurer HILBA STEVENS '18 ANNE GALLAHER '18 One Hundred and Thirty-eight On Being An Alumna HE satisfactions of an Alumna are many. Perhaps the Senior does not realize the fact on Com- mencement Day as she half reluctantly holds out her hand for her diploma, knowing that the touch of the parchment implies taking a step from the ordered life of the College into a life of uncertainty, leaving friends for strangers. But as she turns away with the roll in her hand, she sees before her the many faces of her sisters in the various classes of her Alma Mater,—the oncoming Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores, with the promise of Freshmen to follow. A bit of the meaning of life becomes clearer to her. How good it is to know that the going out of the old classes each year makes way for the incoming of new ones. How beautiful it is to realize that always to the loved College will be coming girls, each bringing her gift of personality, each contribut- ing enthusiasm, leadership, intellect, character. Ah! What can one do to express concretely the happiness brought by that discovery? In the Alumnae Association, the new Alumna finds the answer to her question. With others, she pledges herself to do all she can "to promote the interests of the Women's College and to maintain among its graduates a spirit of fellowship and service." As the years pass, she finds many ways in which she may help to carry out the threefold purpose of the Association.
