c pbiloes At wearysome lengthe have you, I gesse, been told ye forgoing annuals of ye organization of this band of dam-ozels, ye Philoemathean Literary Societee; of ye olden tytle, F. F. which ye maydens must needs change, for ye horride boyes would caJle them funny freaks, wytlie seemynge lacke of chyvolrye; of ye seconde tytle, D. O. W., which proved even worse that ye fyrst, for ye dysgustynge cynical Platoes immediately called them Dear Olde Workers, (there was a double significance to that laste name; i. e. sundrie boxes of candy, play house billets extracted by threats and force from ye, members of ye firste mentioned Societee). At last ye ever fickle maydens tooke upon themselves ye rhythmycal appelacion of ye Philoemathean Literary Societee, notwythestanding the fact that in many boyes’ scoles ye nayme hadde become associated wythe ye sterner sex onlie, ye Philoes didde not forgyt ye naymes that ye wycked Platoes had called them, for wythe mightye hautinesse did ye maydens refuse ye invitacion to join ye Platoes some five years lates, wythe great cunnynge did ye Platoes laye in wait to revenge themselves for ye Philoes marble hearts, and so ye followers of ye appyle pynke and greene barred ye supporters of ye yellow and whyte from ye annual Platoe—C. L. C., contest. Ye Philoes peridiocaily had a grand upheaval which they called an Open Ses-cion, when ye younge laydies wold befittingly themselves costume and wold orate, declaim, or synge for ye amusement of ye large and enthuiastic audience. In ye year ’99, when ye open session was prohibyted by ye crewel Scole Borde, then were ye Philoes nigh drowned in ye tears which they shedd. “Woe!” cried ye Presydente, “woe is me!” Surelee the nexte thynge they will take away will be my gravel!” To add another bitter pill to their box, were ye tyme honored »Societee Halle (adjacent to Assemblee Halle) taken away from them ande they w’ere banished to ye lower regionus to wit under the chaperonnage of ye office of Prof. Whyte. But ye troubles only served to make ye Philoes cleave together, more closely. Under ye whyte and golden banner have ye maydens trod ye paythe of honor, duty and fellowshipe for manie years; may ye band of Philoes hold ye high place for manie years to come. C. P. THATCHKR. —26—
