TATLER As they were being introduced, a bell interrupted them. My! what could this be? Many of the “Rulers” left the room, and at a second bell, many boys and girls hurried through the halls. Seeing their bewilderment, ‘B. C.’ explained that “classes” were about to begin. What “classes” were the two children could not imagine, unless they were races. With this they hurried to the door, and saw a young girl coming down the hall with her head held very high. Alec thought this was a very funny sort of a race, and asked ‘B. C.’ what class that was. “Oh! that’s a member of the Senior Class. They are a very proud class,” answered ‘B. C.’ “What a funny race,” thought Alec, but here comes a boy and a girl, each carrying a couple of books, “Who are they ?,” he inquired. “They belong to the Junior Class,” responded ‘B. C.’ “They are very studious, and are working hard to become members of the Senior Class.” “Oh! but who is the boy with all the papers?” inquired Alice. “He’s a Sophomore. He is very busy writing up the news of my land. And the little girl behind him,” continued ‘B. C.’ “belongs to the Freshman Class. She acts very ignorant, but she just came to my land, so we have to forgive her.” (Continued on page 62) “When you have a question, don’t ask the one next to you, you disturb too many that way. Ask me then you disturb nothing.” Miss Livingston. Pupil to Miss Maguire in Harmony class: “Why don’t you fill in those half-notes so we can see them better?” Mr. Miller: “All who can answer this question can get out of the final—‘What became of the hole in the doughnut?’ ” The Brute—“Are you doing anything this evening?” She (eagerly)—“No, nothing at all.” The Brute—“What a terrible waste of time.” 16
