THE GRADUATE NINETEEN Elenult nf Qilgrnuirles l- CHAPTER I. The tribe gathered-a period of rest decreed -the number ot' the band. 1. Now there abode in that land which bor- ders on the river Knowledge, men ot' the tribe ot' 1915 and they were people mighty in valor. 2. And it came to pass on the third day of the ninth month of the seventh year of the reign of Goldsborough, the King, that a great Multitude was gathered together unto that place which is called Assembly, for it had been spread abroad with a great noise, yea even by the press, that these would prepare to make a journey unto that land which is called High School Land. 3. And when the time had fully come the scribes and the elders and the mighty men of valor of the tribe of 1915 entered unto that place which is called Assembly and did clap their hands. 4. And the ruler spake unto the pilgrims many words of counsel and warning spake he unto them and they saw that his words were good and they were pleased in their hearts. 5. And a period of rest was proclaimed by the king and they all rejoiced greatly and the number about 'to go on the journey was eighteen. CHAPTER II. The beginning of the pilgrimage-the divi- sion of the march-the tests of the pilgrims. 1. Now when the period of rest was fully past all were again assembled on the border of that district which is called Freshmandom of the house Dexter. 2. And the High Priest Galeman, the Just, spake unto them and expounded the plan say- ing: 3. Behold, among you are many men who are mighty in valor, but there are also among you those who are less strong in body but keen of mind and cunning. 4. Wherefore it is not meet that ye shall travel by one road, but ye shall travel by divers ways. Choose ye therefore which ye will take. 5. Now the names of the roads were Hsilgne, Nital and Laicremmoc, which being interpreted are English, Latin a.nd Commercial. 6. And again the High Priest spake unto tliein and said, Hear, O ye people. At the end ot' every month and ot every live months trial shall be made, and ii' ye prove not yourselves to be valiant and taith1'ul ye, even ye shall not receive a credit'Q ' T. Now the people rebelled in their hearts against this thing, but none durst raise his voice against the High Priest, for is it not the law, Rebel not against the authority ot the Higfi Priest or assuredly thou shall not receive a credit? S. And when the High Priest had ceased, they entered the territory of the Freshmen and traveled until they reached the utmost borders of Freslimandom, even unto Sophomoreland. 9. And again Goldsborough the King, decreed a rest, and great was the joy of all. CHAPTER III. Arthur proclaimed High Priest-certain pil- grlnis desert the band-festivities. 1. And when the period of rest had fully passed, the pilgrims entered the land of the Sophomore, and took it unto themselves. 2. So it came to pass that when the tribe was again assembled Arthur was chosen High Priest, for tlaleman had forsaken us. 3. And CG1'taill ones of the pilgrims: Arthur surnamed Junior, Alice the fair, and Clara, Roy the Wiseman, and Roy the son of Linder- man, became weary of the journey and deserted us. 4. Now there arose a mighty storm and verily the snow packed hard, therefore the pilgrims decreed among themselves to have a bobride. 5. Then Leonard spake unto the people say- ing, Afterwards come ye unto my house and feast. 6. And the people cried with a loud voice Tobuye, which is being interpreted, You bet. 7. Now certain of the Gentiles desired to join with the pilgrims for it was rumored that there would be much to eat and these Gentiles were a hungry people. S. Wherefore as their number was small and they were a warlike people tl1eir petition did not End favor in the eyes of the pilgrims, and verily they were ditched. 9. Now it was the custom among the tribes

TWENTY THE GRADUATE of the realm of High School Land to hold each year a feast known as a Class Party. 10. Therefore, a decree went about the land that the festivities would be held the day before the Kalends of Ap1'il. 11. And so it came to pass that the pilgrims gathered and enjoyed themselves exceedingly. 12. Then William of Cradit joined our band but soon deserted us taking with him Leonard the Hospitable. 13. And the pilgrims journeyed on and soon came they unto the borders of the land of Juniordum and King Goldsborough proclaimed a rest. CHAPTER IV. Members of tribe missing-death of Florence. 1. And when the time of rest had fully passed the tribe of 1915 proceeded on their jou1'ney into the land of the Juniors. 2. Now it came to pass when the pilgrims were again assembled to start on their jour- ney lo! Gerald, the Energetic, Alice, and Carl, called Good-natured failed to answer the roll call. 3, And when the tribe had journeyed on their way for a space of thirty days, Florence the Good, one of the members of the tribe passed out of our land to abide with the angels for evermore. 4. Now there was a certain Gentile, called Ralph, of the tribe of '14, who grew weary of his own band and fell by the wayside. 5. As the pilgrims journeyed on their way lo! they beheld him weak and c1'ippled and the good Samaritans took him unto their tribe. 6. Now Ralph was a man mighty in valor and ere the year was out he was chosen leader of the band. , 7. And now it came to pass that the pil- grims and certain ones of the Gentiles were overcome by the spirit of the drama and it was noised about the land that they would give Nwot Egelloc A which is being inter- preted A College Town. S. Now during the sixth month of the third year of the pilgrimage murmurings arose among the people for the, colors of the ban- ner to be chosen. And when lots had been cast, behold! Green and White were chosen for the banner. tl. And now about this time the High Priest Arthur spake unto the pilgrims saying, You must all give orationsf' 10. Now this did not receive favor in the hearts of the pilgrims, but Arthur spake, Rebel ye not against the law of the High Priest or verily thou shall not receive a credit. 11. So the pilgrims did as they were bade. 12. Now it is a custom in the land of Juniordom to give a festival to the tribe of Seniordom. 13. Great preparations went forth through- out the kingdom and the fruits and meats of the land were gathered. 14. So it came to pass that the tribe of 1915 and the tribe of Seniordom and yea, even the scribes and elders were gathered together and feasted. 15. And again Goldsborough the King pro- claimed a rest and great was the rejoicing of all. CHAPTER V. Coming of High Priestess Bernice,-rejoic- ing in the land,-festivities held. 1. Now when the pilgrims were again assembled to complete the journey they were amazed to learn that Arthur, the High Priest, had departed from the land and Priestess Ber- nice, of the house of Bassett had been chosen. 2 And the people were glad and rejoiced exceedingly in their hearts. 3. Now it came to pass that a certain Pil- grim Fred, the Curly, rebelled against com- pleting the journey. 4. But again their number was increased for they took unto themselves, Edith called Billy, Ethel, Gladys and Gertrude from the land of Jackson and Liberty. 5. Now these pilgrims were a merry people and they enjoyed many festivities and games throughout the journey. G. So the people went on their way rejoic- ing, and for a space there was peace in the land.
