However, Southeast is still running much as before except for adding these many new activities to her already full schedule of old ones. The progress of a student at Southeast can very aptly be com- pared with that of a young boy in Medieval times whose hope and ambition was to become a Knight. He entered the Castle of the Nobility at an early age. He was first of all a Page and then as he advanced further, he became a Herald. Later, he was made a Squire, and as a final great achieve- ment, he attained Knighthood. As he made progress through these various ranks, he received constant instruction and helpful guidance from the Guildmasters. He joined various Orders in which he made further detailed study along lines in which he was especially interested, or in which he merely found a new and better way of amusing himself. He and his fellow aspirants for Knighthood found many ways in which to use their varying talents. Some were interested in Scrolls and Scrips: others were lured by Pageantry, and then there were those who exhibited their prowess in Tournaments. Also, many, who wished to specialize later, found many opportunities in which to gain valuable experience by assisting the Nobility and the Guild- masters in their specialized fields. These were the apprentices. After reaching Knighthood, many a Knight heard the call to follow a quest and thus became a Knight-errant, just as many a former Southeast Knight has heard the call to follow the quest of democracy and has become an opponent of tyranny and despotism. 1 l l
