Eli-Iintnrg nf 132 ilnninrn Now in the third year of the reign of President Wils,on, there assembled together in the land of Butler a large body of students, and they presented themslves before Coonrod. And Coonrod said unto all these people, 'Thus saith Henderson, the Super- intendent of school of Butler, 'Gather thyselves together in the auditorium and tl1CrC thou shalt inherit the land of thy prede.cessor'.'-'- j - And the people said unto Henderson, Laura Fenton shall be our leader and her voice we will obey. ' So Miss Fenton made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a stature and an .ordinance and caused 'them to be called Freshmen, for a time of one year. . . U And it came to pass that they grew in wisdom and waxed great among the Soph- omores, and the Juniors and the Seniors, such that no class might rise up againstpthem. And the thing pleased the Freshmen and they cried unto. Miss Fenton saying, There- fore let us now prepare and set aside a day for feasting, and establish unto ourselves a class day. And the Sophomores and the Juniors' and the Seniors all marvelled and wor- shipped them saying, NVhat is there like unto this class, who is, able to stanfd up against her? - And Miss Fenton called together all the Freshmen and said unto them, s6WCll done, thou 'good and faithful servants, Ye have kept all my commandments and obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you, enter ye therefore into the land of thy heritage. Let not your name be Freshmen, but Sophomores which is in the Paraguain tongue exalted. Then the children of Miss Fenton cried in a loud voice, and rejoiced exceedingly, even as. the Seniors who were freed from bon-dage. And the thing pleased them ex- ceedingly and they departed unto their homes for a term of three months. Now in the ninth month of the fourth year of President Wilson, Henderson is- sued a decree, throughout all the land ordering all minors desiring knowledge to as- semble themselves into the Butler High School on the first Monday of the ninth month, and present themselves a living sacrifice unto Gorrell. And there gathered to- gether the Seniors and the Juniors and the Freshmen and among them were the Soph- omores who were the chosen of Miss Fenton. H H Now the Sophomores gathered together and formed a covenant among themselves saying, VVe will choose for ourselves a president and a leader and make of our class a strong people even as the juniors and the Seniors, and many that were before themf' And it came to pass that Emma J. Wix was their president and they waxed great in the presence of Miss Fenton. And so it was that the Sophomores drank freely from the fountain of knowledge and the faculty marvelled exceedingly, saying among them'- selves, VVhence comes this wisdom, who is there among us thatis able to interpret the source of this canned intellect? , ., And in these days, 'as it Were, Miss Fenton called together the Sophomores and taught them, saying, Behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, for unto you this day a name is given and from you a class is formed. Let notyour hearts be heavy, or your countenance sad, for you are given this day the name of Juniors and are worthy of the same-depart in peace. And they went straight unto their homes. Now after the departure of Miss Fenton it came to pass that the School Board spoke unto Miss Gorman saying, Miss Fenton hath departed, now therefore arise, go Thirty 1, .em-.,..,.11,,,2.,.,,..,.5,,L.,e,1.f.?,-,,,F.a,,..15s5.3q-5.5 -, Lasmfzs-V-.-,Qf.:,,m-.y.-.H-.2-as ffm:-,s-s-.-2-,1e:s:::.wfzf-.-:e aff- , 5-f'-:f --rf -' 2- ::- -1-- ,- fn I -- 1-L

And Miss Gorman Spoke unto the juniors saying, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all the school that they may know that I am your teacher. And it came to pass within a while after, that the juniors gathered themselves to- gether in Butler and chose for themselves Ruth Wyatt as their president. Now Ruth was a good president and followed in the path of her predecessor. And it came to pass in the second month of her reign- thatjshecalled together all the juniors and spake unto them in a loud Voice saying, Empty thy pocketbooks, draw forth thy bank accounts and gather together all the precious gifts fandwe will set Fern Harper upon a throne as carnival queen in the presence of the Seniors and the Sophoinorcs and the Freshmen. I A ' And it came to pass even as Ruth 'had said and Fern did sit upon a throne in the presence of the Seniors and the Juniors and the Sophomores and Freshmen. And thc whole school trembled at the power of the Juniors. The frail were dumb and the bravest spake in whispers saying, Who is there like unto this great class, who is able to make war against llCl'?T, And everyonemarvelled iexceedingly. Now there arose amonglthe juniors a prophet who was given all wisdom even as Roosevelt. And his name was Sherman Moore and he ranked high among the de- baters and the wise men of Butler, but his days had not yet come. And it came to pass that the time drew niglrthat the Juniors should again be promoted into a promised land and many trembledilest they should not be among, the chosen, but they continued to advance and press onward toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of wisdom.
