Here had been built that, sancturay, the Rostrum, where pilgrims came from far and near to gain inspiration. They came from opposite sides of the country, to exchange ideas, sweetmeats and knowledge, until the kings chief oflicers drove them thence. - . Here too, those who had achieved the greatest success were compelled to declare themselves with echoing shouts and beating the air, . , I Then history records that one day in autum these people met in Room 35 and declared them- selves, a race apart. From this time forth, they were known as the Class of 1910. And they chose a leader from their midst, one excelling in sports, they chose a' motto and a battle cry which they might shout so that all might hear. 3, - But it happened that the people who stood above them in the favor of the King, wishedhto put an end to their meeting, so the Juniors became infuriated and with a single skirmish .drove them from their domain, and when the Majesty heard of this, he was moved with anger. From that moment 1910 grew in his favor. V , Then these wise ones celebrated their greatnese and victories withla journey to the land of Kattelville, each noble warrior took with him a maiden, and one day, without an enemy in sight, they traveled far over the snow and spent from sunset to sunrise in revelry, dancing and feasting. Theyewere so pleased with this fun in April, the king and his advisers planned another dance, to which in their kindness they invited their enemies. But as the spring advanced their enemies became more aggressive. Still this people of 1910 did not let hatred strengthen in their hearts. Openly they challenged their opponents to contests, -In every test they were victorious, and in June with a last iiourish of the trumpets the enemy scattered,.191O was acknowledged the greatest people on the mountain.

e , ,rg HISTORY OF CLASS 1910 Hearken ye, and hear what History has recorded of that famous people, the Class of -1910. Many years ago, there wandered from their home, The Land of Grammar-School, overmlghty rivers and plains, a band of youths and maidens, until they came to a an aged and lofty mountain. Weary they settled here and for a period chaos reigned supreme. There were battles to iight to gain the Green Card. But under the guidance of a t'Great High Priestess , Miss Osgood, they overcame these obstacles and became a wise and learned people. Other people dwelt higher up on this mountain but they were cruel and scornful. By the custom ofthe land and the great Ruler, they were acknowledged superior. They took it upon themselves to ridicule these people of Freshmen. Finally these mocked ones sent their tallest warriors on a distant journey to the top of the mountain, where dwelt the great members of the Student Body. , Wlien they beheld the exceeding greatness of these People of the plains, their souls were shaken. . No longer did they scorn the 'tPygmies , in fact these people became known for their prowess in that national sport called Foot Ball. Then another people ca.me to this land and the Freshmen decided to move higher, Here there ruled a man genial and kind, known to all as Professor Knox. Here they linger- ed a whole year, during which their fellow-feeling and friendship increased.

A I Then they chose an artist Q25 from their midst who should make forthem a standard. Vllhen the king heard of this he called this artist to his council chamber to remonstrate with him, While he was away, the banner disappeared, knowing but their weakness, the gleat people of 1910 restored it to them and charged them a small price for freight. ' 0 g ' To celebrate their victories 1910 held a dance which was talked of by people near and far and they were known as wise and victorious worriors. Struggles and trials beset them on every side, the tribe of enemies made one more feeble attempt to restrain them from going to the Casino for a picnic. They with the help of strangers got possessions of the ice cream, 1910 realizedtheir condition from their hungry looks and suffered them to pass unrestrained away with their prize.
