Seniors Robert Graves Elizabeth Poster IONG ago a group of travelers set out to cross the ever shifting sands of the (treat Desert. Before them, behind them, and on either side of them stretched the same, dun-colored sand. At last, after many days and nights of traveling, she who was known as Elizabeth, tiring of the ever-sameness of the wide expanse of sand, spoke unto her campanions, Oh ye chosen few of Allah. Hearken unto me. In one corner of my pack is a leathern case, made for the carrying of water or wines. I Ct us fill it with air and use it as a ball.” And it was thus. At last one night as they rested from their wanderings, he who was called Bud drew upon the sands with his staff. And with shouts of joy the travelers ran, jumped, and otherwise made merry in the court thus formed. Thus for many nights they frolicked, until at last the two makers of the game tired. But still Robert and the two sisters Alys and Jennie played. At last only the two were left, but they ever played on, until their fame spread throughout the land. And so it is today. 9 Edward Berryman

Abby West NCE upon a time there dwelt in the land of the Arabs three maidens who sought knowledge and adventure. One spring morn they left their native farmlands and made a pilgrimage unto the seat of knowledge. “Where,” they asked, “will we find the wisest man in the kingdom of Arvada ?” Allow me, oh gentle maidens, to be thy guide,” volunteered a youth with a radiant face, “for I am the son of the moon.” Gladly did the girls receive his offer of assistance, and for four long, weary yet interesting years they traveled along the Halls of learning, the Desert of Ignorance, and the Oases of Wisdom. With almost every step they paused, momentarily to search for the wisest man in the kingdom. Yet, when they found a man who was wisest in the land of Mathematics, he was but a dullard in the kingdom of English. They thought their long and weary travels were in vain. So the damsels Abbie, Carrie, and Rubye were ready to return to their homelands when, I.o, the great Caliph Hooker, announced that of all who took the test of Wisdom and Intelligence, one had far exceeded all the rest. And Lo! the name of one of their own number. Sir Howard Nelson, led all the rest. 8 Carrie Writ

George Underwood 5OW it so happened that, an earthquake having destroyed their beautiful city, it became necessary for George and Virginia, in company with the noble Buster and the inseparable Violet and Margaret, to set forth for a new land. And as their destination they chose the Garden of Allah. George and V irginia, wandered on ahead, and it fell to Bus to entertain the other fair damsels. And it came to pass that, in crossing the desert, they came to a spot on which grew many and varied types of the low and thorny cactus. Our hero Bus, following the example of the ancient .Sir Walter Raleigh, removed his flowing robe on which was blazoned a flaming A, and spreading it over the thorny way he cried, “Step on ’er, kids.” And even in the middle of the journey such as this, it seems, we find our bits of romance. For it is said that George quoted the worthy Khay yam to Virginia; A book of verses underneath a bough. Some H20, a loaf of bread, and thou Jazzing within the wilderness, Oh Wilderness were Paradise enow. Violet Graves 10
