Beatrice then entertained them with a Comedy of E1'raf's which she had encountered in Freshman English in a high schoolg and, as some of her remarks burned our ears, Ophelia and I began our retreat. We were not at a very great distance when we heard King Henry reminding them that they had gathered there for the purpose of discussing the works of the fairies of the realm, At that Ophelia and I departed as swiftly as possible, for we had a particular interest in those fairies, and did not wish to hear any more.

THE COURT OF HENRY VIII. It was not a visit to Caldon Low, neither was it a Midsum- mer Nighfs Dream, but - and you may believe it or not, As You Lilac' It-a real interview with a few of Shakespeare's most famous heroes and heroines, who, we thought, had perished cen- turies ago. Although we have seen them often, we did not recog- nize them until last evening, when Ophelia and I were out for a stroll on Garrard Avenue. After walking a short distance, we reached a deserted spot which most young people like to shun and from which Ophelia and I were ready to flee: but, hearing voices within, we turned and entered the place .to see who it could be that would remain in such a lonely place until so late an hour. VVe entered a large building and passed up several flights of steps and down a long hall until we came to a small room whence the voices proceeded, and there we found assembled ten of the faith- ful few. Occupying the high seat was King Henry VIII., Whose domineering power extended over the entire group -- and farther! Near him was seated Puck, whose mischievous blue eyes fixed a tantalizing gaze upon discouraged Romeo, seated in the farthest corner, his dark eyes filled with disappointment. Accomplished Portia and most learned Hamlet were debating with Katlmrme and Beatrice upon a popular subject of the day: and, although the former held the stronger points in the discussion, it was plainly seen that the temper and wit of the latter would be vic- torious. Aside from these was Cleopatra, who has such a charm for the stronger sex, entertaining Iago with a Discourse on Eti- quette, and last, but not least, was Desdemona, whose bewitching smile is so admired, urging them all to make haste, as there was much to be done before leaving that loved spot. Romeo raised a Lo7'c'r's Comfplaint, which received quite a little sympathy from those present. as with most of them I.0t'e's Labofs Lost. A very heated discussion followed, which might have had serious results but for a ready jest of Puckls' which changed all into laughterg and, as Allis lVell that Ends Vlfellu, we do not censure Romeo for his unwise complaint.

AS YOU LIKE IT. We have here among us twelve teachers most learned, And when they've controlled us their money they've earned. Ye Student Staff incomes would gladly receive, For all of your members its needs do perceive. Devoted to Orpheus, our Glee Club of boys, But all they accomplish resembles harsh noise. Debates do the civics class proudly achieve, They hold courts of justice and furnish the thieves. In football and baseball and all other games, The athletes of High School a great name do claim. Ye Chorus, take warning, beware sudden death From overtaxation and much wasted breath. In drama their histrionic powers some show, Their plays are quite good, but their acting's so slow. Ye chemists are strongest in smash-ups and smell, VVhile oft from their room comes a wild, piercing yell. EDA HERRM.ANN, 'o9. COX'S ARMY. This is Cox's little army, Four long years of service A merry, good-natured clang With this educational band, Not a hobo among them, It's hard to make such dullards . Like the other Cox's gang. Be able to understand. Not like the other army, That in the years that are to come Out of sight, out of miud g No matter in what estate, This little army is made of stuff They will think of Cox's army, That is mighty hard to find. And wish to change the date. WILLIAM J. SANDFORD. C627
