.GQ W MZ I History of The Class of 927 Early in September of the year nineteen hundred and twenty-three a band of brave and bold students decided to conquer the four dangerous islands that stood between them and the Sea of Life. If they were able to conquer these islands they would be admitted to the Sea of Life and there they would iind happiness in store for them. If they were not able to conquer these, they might never reach the Sea of Life except by much suffering and hard knocks. With great determination these brave students decided to go on a conquest to these four islands and to be victorious. The first and most formidable of these islands was called by the inhabitants Green- land. This island was inhabited by terrible dragons and giants. Having arrived at this island they laid plans to conquer these terrible beasts. The three dragons which were considered the most dangerous were Algebra, Latin, and Rhetoric. Having conquered these with much disaster, some having perished in the encou.nter, they then easily subdued the less formidable dragons, Science and History. The Giants were then attacked. These were, Self-consciousness, Ignorance, and Strangeness. After being victorious over these, they were in complete command of the island of Greenland. This campaign was finished late in May' in nineteen hundred and twenty-four. They went into summer camp to recuperate and to re-enforce their troops and supplies until September, when they would continue to the second of these islands. The second and seemingly less dangerous of these islands was Mflise Acres. New recruits had joined the forces during the summer months. On arriving at this island they were greatly surprised to find the dragons were of the same type, only bigger and more hideous looking. First was Algebra which, after a short, hard struggle, was slaing then came the dragon Caesar with the fiery tongue. This encounter was very bloody, many never recovered, but after months of attack he was, also, slain. Then followed shortly the death of History and Grammar. The giants, Egotism, Brilliance, and Superiority were iinally conquered but only at the last of May in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-tive. Having conquered the first two of the islands they retired to summer quarters to await the opening of the fall campaign on the third island. They were greatly encouraged by their brilliant success in conquering these islands. In summer camp, they were not as interested in preparing for the third attack as they felt they had conquered the two islands appearing most dangerous. In September when the fall campaign opened there was a feeling of discontent and lack of interest. They embarked for the Isle of Charm. The leaders were greatly worried over the attitude of the warriors. This island, while appearing so easy to overcome, was filled with unseen and unheard of dangers. There were novel dragons to encounter and where the giants were on the preceding islands, there were living goddesss whose spells meant disaster to any who were entangled. There was the horrible, seemingly unpenetrable dragon, Plane Geometry. This en- counter was the cause of more downfalls than any of the former ones. They then got busy and were victorious over Biology, Literature, History and Spanish. Only a small force conquered the dragon Cicero. The goddesses in the meantime were playing havoc with the soldiers. The enticements to fall into the spells of these goddesses were hard to resist. They had worked hard conquering the other islands and they now wanted pleasure. The goddesses Leisure, Entertainment, Pleasure and Folly were so enticing that many fell within their spells, but the greater part came thru victorious and happy knowing that they had conquered their third island. In May they again went to summer quarters with happy hearts and bright hopes. In September of nineteen hundred and twenty-six they embarked for the Island of Reward. The band was of the worthiest plans and greatest energy. This island was conquered by conscientious work and endeavors. They had trained and prepared themselves so they would be competent to sail their ship safely over Life's rugged sea. They were aided by their able commanders, the teachers, in this lpreparation. Before launching out into the Sea of Life they took an mventory of their crew and cargo. The cargo was well supplied with Knowledge, Honor, Faith, Bravery and Honesty. . d h . Their crew was made up of forty brave and sturdy seamen. They then examine t e S81 s, next the rudder, finding them both safe and secure. The ship lay,at anchor ready to launch May 31, 1927.
