The Parable of the Class of 1922 There is a certain class that doth number itself among the occupants of the East Huntingdon High School. Now it came to pass on a day in the pink September dawn of the year of our Lord 1918, that they presented themselves at the door of the High School where they were warmly greeted and welcomed to the fold by the head of that institution. They were soon beset on all sides by enemies, who did endeavor to subdue them by various means of torture, i. e., dutch rubbing, monthly exams, daily recitations, and 'tbawlings out. However, they did triumph over their foes when the boys of the class won a victory over the Sophomores in a game of basket- ball. NVhcreupon, their sister class, the illustrious juniors, bestowed upon them their merited honors. As a result thereof, there was given onto them the privilege of organizing. After 'due deliberation and forethought NVendell Null was chosen as the most .able leader for this brilliant class. In the midst of their many duties they took time off to honor the Juniors 'wit'h a chivarari. Sometime there after, out of the goodness of their hearts they devoted their talents to raising funds for the Red Cross and therein did surpass all other classes in the High School. So they rested upon their oars, and so endeth the account of the Year none. Having fed off the fat of the land for three months, they did once more take up the burden of acquiring unto themselves an education. Now there is a Person in that school who hateth all forms of hilarity which ascendeth the scale to high g , Howbeit, certain members of this same class were unable to restrain their feelings and their voices. And it came to pass that on certain occasions they did forget the hatred which the Man bore to suc'h boisterousness and thereupon their voices did rise and they did rend the skies with shrieks and screams. And the Man did descend upon them in wrafth, and there issued forth from this mouftlh, like tlhe 'sound of a mi-ghty wind, words fraught with great force and meaning. And the Sophomores stood courteously with ibowed heads and interposed not one word. There- fore, he considered not their feelings but rushed on and did pronounce them a Defunct Organization. In time, however, the class regained a part of their former vivacity and did revivify their drooping spirits by a masquerade. After which the bolder members of the Organization did enter into ia literary contest. Wlierein, two of the members did win great glory and distinction for themselves and fellow classmates by carrying off part of the spoils of battle. Yet, in spite of all this the class has never regained its pristine freshness and life. VVherefore, consider these things. and think twice before thou utterest once the feelings that are surging within thee. Raise not thy voice above a whisper, lest haply thou also mightest be branded as aa Defunct Organiza- tionf' .
