THE GRADUATE TXVENTXZQNE Qllaaa Q ruplterg The sun had been shining brightly all day. It had been warm and the atmosphere was the kind that made everybody drowsy and sleepy. Just betore sundown, I went out to lind a place where I might rest awhile, and found it in the shade of a friendly old oak tree. Every- thing was quiet. I was left alone to the world and my thoughts. I sat thinking of the days that had gone and the days that were to come, and wondered where I would be before long and what would happen to me. I asked the same question regarding my classmates. I thought it would be interesting to know what would happen to them after they had left the shelter of the old school house. How long I sat and thought ot' these things I do not know. I do remember that everything was now dark. The daylight had vanished far below the hori- zon and the sky was dotted with stars. I was dazed and looked around. But I soon remein- bered that I had gone out to seek rest and had fallen asleep. That did not seem to be all that had happened, because I found out that I had been dreaming. My dream was very strange. It has come back to me several times and I have wondered if it will ever come true. As it concerned you, my dear friends and class- mates, I shall endeavor to relate it to you as I remember it: I dreamed that with a guide, I was traveling through a large mountain range which con- tained many caves. We came to one cave that seemed to be different from the others in that there were people living in it. My guide told me that it was a very interesting place, and asked me if I wanted to go through it. He said that I might see some people that I knew, liv- ingin this curious abode. I was very much sur- prised to hear this and waited impatiently to enter. When we came into the cave I wondered why it was known by that name. To me it seemed more like a park than anything else. Birds were singing merrily and flowers were bloom- ing everywhere. I had many questions to ask and was about to consult my guide when I discovered to my amazement that my power of speech had been taken away from me. lHow did it happen?J I could not say a word. So in silence I walked on, until we came to a large stone where my guide stopped. The stone was very high and steep and its sides were as smooth as glass. On one side of it there words were inscribed: Ye that a1'e wise may climb with ease. This interested me so much that I looked up to see if there was any one on top of the stone. When, lo! and behold! there sat Mildred Dillingham, Grace Frame and Edith Bihl talking Latin as fast as their tongues could move, What they were saying I cannot tell you, as I had no knowledge Ot' Latin and could not translate their conversation. For that matter I do not think anybody could, at the rate they were going. Perhaps they themselves did not know what they were talking about. They might have seen me coming, at a distance, and want- ing tc- show me that they were making use of their knowelge, started to say whatever came to their minds first. I noticed that after I had craned my neck for about ten minutes in a vain effort to see them, that they did not care to look down at me, so I motioned to my guide to move on. We had not gone very far before we stopped again. Here I saw Ethel Bull sitting alone talking to herself. Upon venturing closer, I heard that she was composing a poem. She was trying to write her masterpiece. I was surprised to see that she still retained the desire to make poetry that she had when she was attending the C. H. S. I was not the only one Watching her: there were many other peo- ple visiting the cave, but this did not seem to bother her. She was saying, Now let me see, what rhymes with 'school'? 'Pool, fool, tool.' No those won't do. Oh! dear! when will I get this done? I knew that I could not help her out because my brain did not run in that direction so I left her to her own fate. We journeyed on until we came to a cross- road. Again my interest was directed to some one sitting at the end of the road, so we stop- ped again. There on a pretty spot of grass sat Helen Ruggles. She was writing letters, as usual. Many books were lying on the desk at which she sat, some were on the ground and one was on her lap. By her side stood her faithful attendant tor should I say serv- ant'?I Ralph Greene, waiting to mail that letter to the other one, picking up books, looking at pictures, and ready to do what she demanded. I soon learned that they did not need me there so we continued to walk around the cave.

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. GRACE FRAME.
