8 C U M T r X JANUARY And it came to pass in the first month of onr Lord, 1916, that the sons and daughters of Alexandria did come up out of the Land °t Dancing and Merrymakings, and assemble together in the Study Hall to listen to Mr. Brame’s mighty orations against the poor un- fortunate flunker. And at that time did the wee tots (so-called freshmen) come over to onr mighty high school. And then our mighty basket ball team did go up into the land of Natchitoches and did defeat them by a great score, which made the Normal forwards weep bitterly. I hen did ( oach Dutton leave, and leave a school of gloom and sadness behind him. And many of the girls (F. C. and others) did weep because of his departure. Then did the mighty Dutton return and present the boys with gold foot balls. Ami great were they in their excitement to find girls to wear them. FEBRUARY And it came to pass that another year was added unto the days of Monsieur Galloway. And at that time the “Frenchmen” did get excited when some did have courage to say, “Quel age avez-vousT” Then did the teachers hand out reports for which the pupils as well as the parents did blame the instructors. Then did the State send out Spelling lists and did force the sons and daughters of Alexandria to suffer the consequcneies. MARCH And at that time the daughters of DeRidder did invade the land of the Alexandrians and unto the daughters of Alexandria did yield a mighty victory. And in this game did the Misses Stevens and Stafford show a mighty temper. Then did Mr. Brame pronounce the mighty words which the State did send unto us. and did expect us to spell them. Then did the different teachers enjoy themselves correcting the several papers. And then it came to pass that the Literary Societies did gather together in the City Hall and hold a mighty debate. Then did the judges decide in favor of the Jeffersonians, and the Progressives sighed in the confusion. And quite nervous did the teachers become while the speakers were debating. Then did the orchestra play beautiful pieces and the Glee Club and Quartette did mock them back. And did Mr. Galloway march up and down in the hall-wav, chewing gum with accelerated mo- tion while Doce did beat time on the drum.
