Qu... ...ug Ek....... ......EJ 011:12-5 llliaturg ln the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred eighteen, a great tribe of thirty clans- men -entered the Land of Knowledge and took upon themselves the name of Fresh- monians. The aforesaid tribe was unaccustomed to the duties and burdens of its forefathers and consequently much time and labor were spent in achieving these ends. The tribe began organization under Chieftain Ackerman and Chieftainesses Heineman and Kerner. The festivals of this year were few because of the desire to farther the standards of this tribe and to inscribe a name which would ring through t e ages. ln the next year it came to pass that the name of the tribe was changed to Soph- morians. This year, the most dreaded by all in the Land of Knowledge, was the one that proved most fatal to those who had undergone the trials set before them in the former years. lt was during this year that the number of the tribe dimin- ished and it was at this time that many beloved brothers stumbled and fell by the wayside. ln the course of this year the worthy Chieftain and Chieftainesses led the tribe in many revels and prolonged festivities, and marshalled them to a high degree in the acquirement of knowledge. And thus it came to pass that in the first days of the third year, in this delightful land, this tribe took unto themselves the name of juniorians. The tribesmen also gathered together to appoint new leaders and as a result the tribe prospered for that year under Chieftain Knupp and Chieftainesses Heckroth and Kerner. Dur- ing the year continual rains and gigantic floods of knowledge were thrust upon the tribe and the one great festival of the year was the Pow Wow, given in honor of our upper clansmen. And it so happened that as the year completed its cycle of months this learned tribe surrendered the name of juniorians and during the rest of their sojourn in this Land of Knowledge were known as Seniorians. This worthy tribe, under the leadership of Chieftainesses Heckroth and Schroeder and Chieftain Cold, often trudged the roughened path of war, and, victorious over the fighting Sophomorians, returned to their tepees with their collected scalps hanging from their wampum belts. But it so came to pass that after many hard fought battles a council was called and during great feasting the peace pipe was smoked and the hatchet buried. And moreover after final councils and Pow Wows this noble tribe of Seniorians folded their tepees and proudly walked forth from this beloved Land of Knowledge into the far-famed country of Opportunity and were hereafter known as Alum- norians. Widespread was their fame and far-reaching was their influence as they spread among all people, planting their seeds gleaned from their Land of Knowl- W lass will KNow ALL MEN BY T1-iEsE PREsENTs: That we, the Senior Class of l922, residents of the town of Dysart, State of Iowa, being of illegal age and unbalanced mind and disposition, and knowing that in a short time we shall depart this earthly sphere, do hereby make, publish, ordain, and solemnly declare the following to be our last will and testament: edge.

Ej...... - ..........El lg. 5. Ek...... ......Ej lass Hrnpherg illllahame Zlinnwallski ani! the Gllass nf Ementg-hun As l sat in the luxuriant oflice of Madame Knowallski in New York, listening to all l had been, was, or ever would be, l thought of the Class of Twenty-Two of dear old D. H. S. So l said to this brilliant, masterful lady: Madame, is'it within your power to tell me of my class? Where they are, and what they are doing? lt has been several years since we graduated and did you ever have a long- ing, as if to see an old friend? She nodded. Well, that is the state of mind l am in now. l have thought much about my classmates in the last few days. What can you tell me of them? . Lady, said she, you ask a diflicult question, but if you will bear with me, l will endeavor to satisfy your longingsf' For a long time she said nothing as she seemed to be in deep thought, and l would have done anything rather than disturb her. At times l wished l could be anywhere but in her weird presence. Her jewels shone on me as if they were many devils' eyes. The whole room seemed mysterious. Yes, Madame, replied l, somewhat relieved of my ghostly feelings. Alvin Ackerman, said she, is head of the meat trust, as he has discovered a process for the extraction of pork from pig iron. Among the many employees in his office, l see Mina jabens at the wireless telephone, over which prices are sent. Mabel Hark politely escorts visitors into the office, and is equally eflfcient with a little speech to turn them awayf' Mabel always could talk, l interrupted and received a be-quiet look. Suddenly we were interrupted by an unusual sound coming from the street. We both rushed to the window, and whom should we behold but Walter Cold, President of our own United States. Madame seemed almost human when she exclaimed, Our bachelor President. . f'Oh, it's Punk, Punk! l cried. How l should like to see him. But l realized it would be impossible in the immense crowd, so we settled ourselves to learn more of my classmates. Lulu Cokenf' resumed Madame linowalski, runs the President's aeroplane. lt is of course a magnihcent affair, known as the :Blue Bird' The cab has a carry- ing capacity of ten people and it is all upholstered in blue velvet. Lulu is the pilotess and a grand one, too, with those sharp eagle eyes of hers. She surely is attractive in her little blue uniform. I sighed and said, How long do you suppose he will remain a bachelor Presi- dent? This drew a slight smile from her set face. Eunice Hark is a very successful nurse in the Chicago Hospital. just now she is nursing Francis Cold and Mabel Schroeder back to health. They had quite a serious accident while out riding last Sunday in Mabel's aeroplane. 'fAnd what else do Mabel and Francis do besides ride in an aeroplane? Well, my dear lady, said she, it seems impossible just now to get further information concerning the exact occupation they follow, however, they seemed to be surrounded with all the comforts of life. Miss Hark suggested that they had better go back out west to their sunflower farm. l was just about ready to go, but Madame was getting a little too interesting. They say curiosity killed a cat, and had l been a cat l suppose l would have long since been dead. . Sixteen '
