Stray Gathering 1 SOME of us came to school the very first week. There was Talmage, Bradley, Mitchell, Haynie, Evans, Randall, Booth, Lyman, Herbert, Thornton, and Blake, a real jolly bunch. One day we went for a walk with Hanchett as our leader. It was in the Autumn when the Ivie and Sweet Williams were prettiest An-der-son shone brightest. Our path led past the Maesar and came to-Ward the foothills where the Haws and Woodbury grow. One of the boys had his Gunn, but could find nothing to shoot except some Brown Beans ■which soon became tiresome. Soon we had to Cross-by a ravine in which ran a little Brook, but the water was Luke warm, besides there were eggs in it which were old enough to Hatch, so it did not o-Kerr to us to drink it. The boys caught some fish and nothing would do until we had a Frei with our Hugh-Chamberlain in charge. Before it was done a Call came from the rocks above that a party had found a Young Knight who had fallen because of Slack communications between him and his guide. His clothes needed a Taylor so he was at once turned over to the Marshall who procured a Steed with a Cord-on and con- ducted him to town. When we came to the Snow line we heard Lind-say Campbells are coming ! We all looked and saw any number of sons : Jen-son, Han-son, Nel-son, Knud-son, Berge-son, and Swen-son, but only one Campbell. Then someone said, Who is going to the top of the peak? and the answer echoed, Lew-is, Curt-is, Harr-is, Franc-is, Dav-is. Quickly the retort came What an a-Sumsion to make. It must be only Hir-schi, and you will have to Sho-walter. All undaunted by these remarks, the stalwarts, Stalman, Jackman, and the Clarks, Gillespie and BarkduU said they would Russel a means of get- ting to the top even if it took Riches. At this point one of the girls became Moody and though we did Warn-er against the Harm-on a mountain alone, she struck off up the ravine. She had not gone far when a Daw in the bushes frightened her and she came running Down with face white as a Miller. Smith and Hafen said they would investigate and to our surprise a large Stagg bounded past us. Before we could think he was gone, so we said, We do not want to kill him Dew-ey? Then everything went wrong; the water would not Boyle, the Potter would not work, neither would the dog Bark-er Gardner dig a hole, for he said he was a Free-man. So Snell and Boyden took Magleby, Dalby, Brockbank and Stevens, And-rus(h)-ed down the hill until they were ready to drop with ex- Austin. On our arrival home we no longer felt bewilderment or backwardness of the ordinary Freshmen, but were determined to make the class known in the history of the school. 13
