Mc'WmrRTEn THE THREE RULERS OE THE ORIENT Now in the year 1900 there reigned over East High School a mighty ruler. And he was called William Francis Webster. And this was the first year of the Orient. And he was young when his reign began. But he got him a faculty. And he did what was right. And the school waxed great and mighty. But that which was evil and an abomination he did cast out. And after some years he did build him a third story to his temple. And he did cause his people to pass thereto. Also, built he an annex and cut thereto a doorway leading from the main hall. And he set a carven image of Minerva in the hall. And with pictures did he adorn the walls of his temple. And when he spake unto the children of the Orient, they did harken unto his voice, for it was good. And his words were wisely spoken. And he was greatly loved. But after nigh onto a score of years had passed, was he called to be ruler over many kingdoms. And Louis N. McWhorter did rule in his stead. And he did reign in the land of the Orient nine and one months. And he was called to rule the mighty Occident. But in his reign did he many mighty deeds. And he did purge the school of evil. And the children of the Orient lifted up their voices in lamentation when he did leave. And he was greatly loved. And after him there came to reign over the Orient a third mighty ruler, Sheridan W. Ehrman. Now in the second year of his reign did he put into the minds even of the artificers and builders that they build him a new sanctuary on the first floor and that they cut him a passage from the third floor unto the annex. And it was done. And it was good in the sight of his people. And he did wall in the athletic field with a mighty wall, and make it ready for the games. Wherefore is he called Ehrman the builder. For likewise does he build mightily in the temple of the minds of his people. And greatly is he loved. Now these be the generations of them that have ruled over the Orient. And blessed be they. For they have given each after his ability unto the cause of wisdom and goodness and honor. And all the people shout with great joy when they hear their names. And they have commanded a scribe that he should set forth the deeds of these three in the Cardinal parchment of 1923. The which hath been done. And blessed be they forever.

Each class recitation, each student activ- ity is a degree of progress toward thought habit, an or- ganized mind, character for- mation.
