Ye Pilgrimmes did set their uplifted and eager countenances toward a distant and glorious city knowne and revelled as ye citye of Knowledge. In ye citye of Knowledge valuble documents further termed diplomas are stored and at certain joyous times are presented to ye learned and illustrous scholars with much pomp and ceremony. Ye journeye offering right much in che manner of difficulties, ye pilgrimmes did choose a sponsor who did accompany them on this longe journey. Ye sponsor was none other than a certain Mr. Weine who did most onselfishly trend ye weary war with ye Pilgrimmes. Ye Highroad was full of ye pitfalls and ye bordering forests were filled with ye horrible monsters and dragons. Of these was a certain Monster known and feared as Algebra, who was accustomed to slaying many unwatchful travelers. However, ye band of Freshmen did see green and overcame him by might even though he did smite down a few, who fell by the wayside. Ye travel wearye Freshmen were right royally entertained by a most exalted order of Sophomores in a beautiful wood which bordered the shores of a lake. At another point in ye journeye did they meet ye selfsame group and did entertain them by song and dance in return for ye kindness.

So they entered ye ranks of ye Sophomores, casting off their cloaks of greene. Then did they continue up ye rock infested and pass into ye dreaded heights of Geometry and Latin, two dreadful dragons who had devoured many erring climbers of ye remote past. But these in turn were smitten by the swords of study and rendered harmless. Another Sponsorship was chosen and did fall on ye shoulders of Mrs. Crittenden, who did fill faithfully, aid, and condole them in all ye problems. Again did they have ye goodly representation in all ye sports and ye kindred activities. Much wiser ye groupe became Jolly Juniors , a high order of nobility, and entered ye glens of Chemistry and Physics.
