Page 22 THE STILL AGU AMISH TRAIL CLASS CHRONICLES CHAPTER I. Now the history of the Class of Two-and-Thirty of the High School of the City of Arlington, County of Snohomish, State of Washington, is in this wise: In the beginning, in the eight-and-twentieth year of our Lord there entered into this Land of Learning one hundred fifty seekers of knowledge. Some were green and fresh from a far off country: some came from farms where they had been tillers of the soil: and some from other halls of instruction. And it came to pass as they did enter this land that they were received with wild welcomings by those who, it was decreed, should henceforth, lead them up the slippery byways of knowledge. Likewise it came to pass that they were received with malicious glee by a certain band of wild beings who called themselves “Seniors,” and who because of their fierce taste for Freshman blood did cause them to suffer great things at the Freshman mixer, and to cause them to say in their heart, “verily have we been martyrs to a noble cause.” They were shown no mercy unto their sufferings, and no heed unto their lamentation, un- til all were bruised and full of much sorrow. As they dwelt long in the land, they fell in with the customs of the inhabitants thereof and they each became as one among the rest. After a few weeks they treated the Sophomore Class to a party. Few were seriously injured, whereat there was great re- joicing throughout the land. Then it came to pass, that, they were one and all seized with a strange infirmi') which did cause them to act with a strangeness of manner. Wise men called it a neces- sary evil—desire for good grades. The instructors allowed the disease to run its natural course. And it came to pass after some months, that there eyes were turned toward summer vacation. CHAPTER II. Now it came to pass at the beginning of the second year that the class assembled again, under the name of Sophomores. They again chose the wisest ones to be their leaders. It came about in due season that this worthy Sophomore Class won Campus Dav. Disgust was written upon the face of the Senior Class; for behold there was nothing like it on earth. And as the class did journey through the land, behold! They swept all honors with them; several diligent students won honor pins, and there were several lettermen. Most of the time, however, was applied to diligent use of the brain. CHAPTER III. And behold! In the third year the Class returned under the glorious title of Juniors. Now they were upperclassmen ! And it came to pass that their pride grew to a great bigness within them and the Class began to wish for badges befitting their station. Many messages were sent to the big cities and all the towns round about for samples or their fine jewelry; finally after much deliberation, the Class professed itself to be satisfied with its choice, and pins were purchased of a style to be used thenceforth. Lo! A great cry went up from the throats of the Class. Thus it came to pass that the Junior Informal was given. From hill and countryside came fair damsels and hand- some youths. And when the guests did at last report, they were exceedingly glad that things were as they had proclaimed, and did give much thanks to the Class of Two-and-
