(In honor of the Chieftain rising from the ashes, I thought it would be fun to include a portion of the “DID YOU KNOW?” column from the December 18, 1930, inaugural issue of The Leoti Standard-Junior, , a grade school production. This particular column was compiled by a fellow some of you may remember. Take it away, Mr. Clyde Blackburn.
DID YOU KNOW?
