LAWRENCE 19 25 ANNUAL SENIOR OUTLINE OF HISTORY An Accurate Chonology of the Eventful Period 1921-1925 1. The Peace of the World in Danger—September 1921. One day early in the fall of 1921 the peace and tranquilliU of the Lawrence High School World suffered an invasion from a nomadic hand of barbaric vandals, who bore down upon the country and after days of furious siege lay waste the land and established an empire of the Freshman Class. 2. Few Prehistoric Records Preserved. Little can be said concerning this period of cannibalism. Accurate information was doubtlessly kept but no one living today lias been able to translate the Sanskrit aspirin tablets upon which the diaries of famous characters were carved. One of the few authentic events recorded by historians was the athletic achievement of Evelyn Korn, who succeeded in making the girls’ basketball team, a feat never before accomplished by a Korn. 3. Dead Language Reincarnated. The unknown writing on the sides of the great Lawrence Pyramids was translated into a historical narrative, lo translate these hieroglyphics had long been the ambition of the world s most famous professors of archaeology. However, the translation universally accepted as authentic was rendered by a citizen of the newly recognized Freshmen nation. This was considered a great triumph for so adolescent a people, who were subsequently honored by having tin translation, together with the author's name, printed in the international magazine. Since then the author has done more work in the same field which will be recognized in a later chapter. 4. Social and Economic Reforms. Owing to the many festivals which archaeologists claim were celebrated during the year 1921 it was observed that the vicinity was greatly in need of “bigger business.” To meet this economic problem, which might otherwise have caused a great famine among the sweet-eating people who inhabited these parts, several store's were opened and the imports were enormously increased. 5. Great Prospects Viewed in New Year—1922. The entrance of a new and unscarred era was hailed by industrial magnates as a turning point in history. 'With the business world on a strong foundation the future of the world seemed bright. Most of the inhabitants had succeeded in passing the great crisis of the previous June which for a time threatened to cast them back into the Dark Ages from which they had so lately risen. 32
