THE COLUMBIA N CHItONICI.l'I ni Now. in the year seven and ten on the eleventh day of the ninth month. the Juniors bethought them- selves ot' the work which was before them. Then with one accord they all rushed to the school and there assembled in a marvelous host, twenty and nine strong, 1'eady to assume the cares of the universe. And when they saw the Sophomores and Freshmen running wildly about the halls. they heeded the voice of their supe- rior which rang and re-echoed throughout the halls of the Temple of Learning: Thou shalt not follow after them: turn away from their childish pranks for thou art now Juniors a11d worthy to be called Upperclassmenf' Then all the members of the tribe gathered themselves together that they might choose a king to rule over them. and they re-elected one Cecil Bean to the place of honor, and he ruled over the Juniors and executed justice to all. Thereupon this Senior tribe challenged the remaining tribes livi11g in the land of learning unto a spelling match. They accepted the challenge and after much hard labor one Florence Bulfenbarger did take second place for the Juni01's. And soon they must select certain of their tribe to meet the undaunted Senior Debaters, and they chose from their midst llernice Riley. Robert Meiser and Cecil Bean. And behold on the eventful eve there was great argumentation and discussion but behold the Juniors fell at the hands of their enemy. And it came to pass that the people in the land were again aroused by the Declamation Contest, and straightway the many inhabitants began the rehearsal of their mighty sayingsg and alas! it did come to pass that when the contest did occur one Mary Schrader did claim all the honors for the Juniors. Meanwhile there had been much p1'eparation for the eventful party to the Seniors. ln honor of the occa- sion the Temple of Knowledge was festooned in such a way that it was exceedingly pleasing to the onlookers. The .luniors did entertain their guests at the theatre, followed by a reception in the English Tea Room. and later by a tire tly ball. And it came to pass that the accustomed annual track meet did arrive with its yells and rejoicing, and the Juniors did gain many honors for the people of the land of learning. Now. it so hapened that as the year drew to a close only one of the number did cease to journey on- ward with them. so that the number at the end of the year was twenty and eight. C'HltONICl.li IV Now, it came to pass that the fourth year of the history of the Class of Nine and Ten opened with much rejoicing and some tears. On the ninth day of the ninth month of the year eight and ten, the mighty host ot' Seniors gathered ill their accustomed places. And it so happened that as they assembled at the Palace of Education there were those, Nellie Herri- man. Pearl Jones. Marguerite Klingaman and Jackson Kiester who cried out with a loud voice. saying. Take us into your class. we pray you. and the Class of Nine and Ten did listen and have compassion on them. Now that they had their ruler, badges were chosen in the forms of rings and pins. with which their class would thereafter distinguish itself from all othe1's. lint alas! there ilu upon them a great plague and 1na11y were ill and downcast. And it came to pass that for one month all was sadness and gloom in the land of learning. They then prepared a day of great rejoicing, and they betook themselves to the home of one sister. llernice Riley, where a great feast and eve of inerriment was held. Here all were again happy. and after an eve of pleasure. got all to their abodes with much satisfaction in their hearts and weariness in their limbs. But. alas. life proved that work must needs be done before the departure for there were great examina- tions to be held in the near future. Then some of their dear friends did pass from the land of learning, unto another land, that they might seek greater Halls of Knowledge. At the departure of their leader. one Mary Mossman did ascend the throne to rule her realm the re- mainder ol' that year. And it came to pass that in the flowery path of learning loomed the Joint Debate. And lo! into the roles ot' debaters were entered the names of Mary Schrader. Jackson Kiester and Mary Mossman. three Seniors ot' great courage and wisdom. And these went forth to conquer. and after much labor and deliberation they did easily, and decidedly carry home the booty for their esteemed and distinguished class. And now we are gathered here once more to celebrate the departure of the Class of Nine and Ten. And again on the eve of the fourth day we shall meet, and for the last time we shall make merry and rejoice in the success of the class. Then will all proceed on our way along the thorny paths of life. But no more shall all gather together, but each take his own way. And so. the Class of Nine and Ten shall depart from the Land of Learning after four years of happiness and prosperity. MARY MOSSMAN, '19, I' llll-.' 'I'll'l-.'l.l'l4.'
