Volume Five Thg Cori-glatgf Nineteen-Eight A Life of Nineteen O. Eight Ci-Lxiatisn 1. In Wfhich She Begins Her Career. Once upon a time there lived in Emmons Blaine Castle four charming sis- ters: Nineteen O. Five, Nineteen O. Six, Nineteen O. Seven and Nineteen O. Eight. Though the youngest, Nineteen O. Eight, was even then the most charm- ing and gave promise of a most interesting career. A very precocious child, she early took up her burden of supporting the honor of the family, Sh-e imme- diately entered into the clubs organized by her older sisters, materially aiding them. Swift was her growth and high were her ambitions. Desirous of having a society for herself, she formed The Literary Society of the Class of '08, which, in spite of its name, was a brilliant success. Brave in her newly acquired dig- nity of clubwoman, she challenged her sister, O. Seven, to- a debate, in which-- O bitter truth !-she was defeated, but not without showing what a wonder in literary ability and in spirit she was. She was a lusty child and longed to distinguish herself in athletics. She was versatile, not contentinig herself' with one form of sport, she tried her hand at golf, baseball, tennis, and track, in all of which she acquitted herself honor- ably and well. In spite of her interest in clu-bs and athletics, Nineteen Eight did not dis- regard the claims society made upon her. Her children's party this year was fully enjoyed. The officers so well chosen by O. Eight to govern her this year were: Kings- ley Martin, Dorothy McCoy, Joseph Barker and john Seamans. It is a critical period, first year in high school. Nineteen Eight came through it 3111111110 firm laude, leaving behind her a standard to be attained to by successive freshman classes. CHAPTER II. In l!Vl1lCl'1 Her Development Ts Taken Cp. Yes, she had been a promising child, but this year, alas, she did not fulhll all her promises. It must be remembered, however, that even if she did not at this time keep up to the standard she had set for herself, she was far above the level of the average class. Our heroine continued her interest in athletics, and was rewarded by having a picture of the basketball team in the C01'i'cIaf01'. ln the inter-class track meet Nineteen Eight took third place. 31
