The Golden Chariot Joy and Happiness reigned in W. H .S., for first, the beloved team was going to play Wellington and second, Sultan Truesdell was going to take a group of students over in his well known Golden Chariot. Of course, everyone wanted to go with the sultan and ride in his chariot, but because of lack of room. Martha, Richard. Cleland. Verres, Glydia, and Paul were the only lucky ones. Now the Brown sisters, Eleanor, Helen Cordelia, Velma. and Helen Cornelia. were very angry. because they couldn't ride in this golden chariot. and decided to avenge themselves. As the game at VJellington started at 8:45, the favored few, who were to ride in the Golden Chariot, decided to start at six o'clock to get there in time. Then at the appointed hour. decked in blue and white, the happy party started out. But ere they had traversed ten miles. one of the chariot's tires decided it had worked hard enough in this life and accordingly fell and died at the side of the road. The party gasped. XWhat were they to do? Run on the rim. shouted the brilliant Cleland. So started the party again, but not quite enjoying the bump. bump of the chariot. Then knock-knock w went the engine. What is now wrong? cried the exasperated stu- dents. I want some oil, cried a bearing. And to their dismay they discovered they had burned out a bearing which meant fifteen miles at a limit. Oh, sobbed Verres. the game will be starting and I have a wager on. What shall we do? Chug-chug sounded down the highway behind them and along came a tin chariot at forty-Eve. Surprisedly, the disgruntled travelers looked up to behold the Brown sisters riding merrily along. The avenged sisters waved and rode on leaving the disappointed pleasure seekers sitting in the middle of the road. By Allah, cried the sultan, If' we ever return to the palace I shall at once purchase a tin chariot in place of a gold one. But truly this resolution in no way aided their plight and they were forced to sit there until returning chariots heralded the end of the game. A passerby kindly volunteered to pull in the disabled chariot and its occupants. And the next day the sultan purchased a tin chariot.

Blase Ethel Victor Bosley Marcia Ednoretta Bowdish Helen Bowman Howard Huston Boys Marcia Isabella Bradford Bernice Brandon Emerson Hayden Brooks The Flqinq Horse King Howard and Queen Helen ruled in Gymna- sium Village of W. H. S. This village was strange in that all the girls lived in one part with Queen Helen. and the boys in the other with King Howard. There was intense rivalry between the two sections in performing daring stunts on the apparatus with which the village was equipped. A month befbre the annual contest a magician. Ethel, came to' Queen Helen's court in the gym office and addressed her as follows: Oh. mistress, I possess some wonderful flying rings. On these your subjects will be able to outclass their opponents. For the use of them, you must let me be captain of the flying squad. Queen Helen was very desirious of them and as- sented. The rings were installed and used imme- diately by Louise, Marcia Bradford and Marcia Bow- dish. Simultaneously, another magacian, Bernice, ap- peared in King Howard's court. She had a leather horse on which, she said, they could perform marvelous stunts. ln return for the use of the horse, she asked a place on the football team. King Howard consented. and ordered Asa, Oscar, and Emerson to begin prac- ticing. Page Twenty-four At the contest Queen Helen's team performed suc- cessfully. Then King Howard brought forth the leather horse. This surprised the opponents. While Emerson was doing a difficult stunt, his foot hit a little crank underneath the horse. The horse rose into the air carrying Emerson along. As it passed into the hall, angry King Howard had Bernice locked in the store room until the horse should return. Out in the hall Emerson tried to stop the horse. Failing in this, he noticed the country around him. There were math and history villages, the well-known library village, more history villages, and those of chemistry and English. At last the horse hit a wall. knocking Emerson off. There he lay until morning. unconscious. Regaining consciousness. he found that he was in the tower where, it was said, Caliph Brooks im- prisoned the wrongdoers 09 his kingdom. With much effort Emerson led the horse home. The King was overjoyed at his return, and ordered a great celebration at which Bernice was released, and she explained how the crank on the horse worked. To this day, O reader, if you will go to W. H. S. you will find that this horse and many others like it are used in the Village of Gymnasium.

Now in this same village there lived a poor peasant, John Humphrey. who was greatly in love with the Sultan Albert's daughter. But being a man of small means and low rank he could not try to gain her favor. One morning a great thundering announced the arrival of the dreaded guest. He stood on a nearby hill and in a voice that re-echoed many times he roared: Bring to me the Princes Ailene and her maids, Lillian and Lorna. that I may cut off their heads. l will destroy your city if you disobey me. And with a mighty roar he settled himself to wait for them. Vklhen the people heard this there was great sorrow and the Sultan Albert went to the Genie Antonio and said: O mighty Genie. give the maidens one wish before they die. They wish to find a champion to fight for them and if you are overcome they are to live. Granted, leered the Genie, roaring, Let their champions come. I will smash them with one hand. All the people gathered at the foot of the hill when the Genie roared: Page Twenty-six . -.pf A -g .. Bring to me thy first champion. And as Lorna was brought forward. the brave slave Carl went f'orward to light her cause. The strug- gle was short for the Genie kicked him into the Red Sea and he was drowned. So straightway the Genie Antonio cut off Lorna's head. Where is thy next? he shouted. As Lillian was brought forward her slave, Harold. went to fight the Genie. But he was thrown to the four winds of the heavens, and the Genie smashed Lillian into the ground. Next, roared the Genie, and as Princess Ailene was brought forward a maiden begged to take her place and brave John went to iight. But the Genie Antonio blew him away and twisted Marie into two pieces. Princess Ailene was again brought forward, and John Humphrey, the poor peasant. came forward to combat the Genie. He drew his spear and ran quickly by the Genie and as he passed he drove his spear thru the heart of the huge Antonio who fell heavily to the ground. There was great rejoicing, and the peasant John was elevated to the position of Grand Vizier, where he easily won the hand of the fair Princess Ailene. 41 N . X s ' 1 W t .
