Since so men have this ability we firmly believe thatSir XYadsworth may some day find great honor awaiting him. Harold Day, a runner for the king, can carry a message from the palace to a certain small hamlet live miles away in five minutes. Russell Screes and .I .XYalter Xvilson are pages to Harold Barton. Lorraine Kattau and Lucille Cordes fashion honnets for the queen. The great number of honnets which the queen re- quires is the means of keeping them both busy. Squires Lawrence Lang is 3 fair judge.

THE ARSENAL CANNON 25 Sir Floyd liults travels far and near, not for the glory but for his well being. Angeline Bates, Lady llantock of ljantock lrlall, as they do call her, is not happy in her castle. Annette Partlow is chief prioress at the l'artlow Xunnery in which a number of the class girls are nuns. Clara Lawler, having a great longing to see the world is traveling in disguise. ller real name is Ladyliolentando. Sir Dwight Mendenhall, a champion at the tournament, selected our fair Lady ,losephine Schmidt as the queen of love beauty. Francis lileinndori, archbishop of Canterbury, employs in his services Ted eampbell, chief of the butlers. The Miller twins, underlings in the archibishop's house- hold, hnd much reason, owing to their remarkable resem- blance, for tricks on the chief. Ruth Craig and .lean Hoffman have won fame in their ability to relieve the sick by the use of herbs. Helen Trent, Hertha Schotters, and lilizabeth Hudson spent their time riding their prancing steeds to and from the tournaments in various parts of the country. Charles, the magician of the day, iindeth great pleasure ill acting spells of magic over the court. Marion Breadheft and Lucille Riley furnished the music while Dorothy l1lack,'lohanna Holmes, and XX'ilhelmina Maas danced for the entertainment of the queen and her attendants. Raymond Rawitsch and lfinory llaxter, attendants of the king, were found one moonlight night serenading two ladies of nobility. The stars, however, have failed to reveal to me the identity of the ladies. l think now of an incident l heard concerning some mem- bers of the class. A right goodly number of ladies-Lady Martha Borgstede, Lady Mary lilizabeth Hanger, Lady Uoris Carr, and Lady Ruth lfmerich-were carried away by a band of robbers. Their leader was none other than the bold Edward XYoHev. The ladies never returned and we know not where to search for them, Dwight Renfrew is honored to the d6gree of being char- ioteer for his Lordship. Lady Frances Hunt is a noted costumer. She designs her Ladyship's gowns, and often in spare time patterns various modes oi hair dessing. Thelma Baker is of great use in the court where she tutors the young ladies in hne needle work.

In the name of the King of the Stuarts, we the renowned Seniors scholars of the great school in the Kings Court near Nottingham Town, being of sou.nd mind and memory, and considering the uncertainty of this frail and transitory life do therefore make, ordain, publish and declare this to be our last XYill and Testament. First, we order and direct that the exchequer of the treasury pay all just debts accumulated during the last forty days as soon after our departure as conveniently may be. Second, we give, devise and bequeath unconditionally unto the coming worthy seniors scholars the major portion of our pessessions, to wit, our magnificent spirit, the grandeur . which dazzled said nobles during the late book campaign. Third, do we, the stout of sinew and bold of heart, bequeath to the junior scholars our feeling of utter disregard for the serfs of tender years who are entering into their first year of servitude in the Hall of Learningg and to the freeman. who have had one year of combat in the lists of learning, do we bequeath our cunning, wheh we used so successfully to harass and annoy the serfs during- our early encounters. Fourth, we give to the serfs a part of the wisdom which we feel we have accumulated during our score of months of conquest for knowledge, the aforesaid to be held in trust Ulltil
