If you would really like to know just listen to this story: We had always lived in what is known as the “common grades”, and were getting quite tired of it. One day in September as we romped and played about in a green meadow we saw something dazzling coming towrards us. As the something came closer we found that it was the diamond-and-ruby-set chariot of the great king, Supt. Eckles. This king had a wonderful palace known as Farrell High. When he reached the meadow in which we were playing, he and his attendant got out of the chariot and approached us. He asked us who we wrere and what we were doing. We told him we were the chief inhabitants of “common grades” and were tired of it, but had no place to go. On hearing this King Eckles’ face was one huge smile. “How would you like to come to live at my palace?” he asked us. As we readily assented to this he took us to his palace. When we arrived at his palace we were greeted by many boys and girls. We were called “Freshies” right then and there. We later found out that “Freshy” meant green. We were ushered into the palace and placed under the charge of Mr. Imler. We were given books, pencils, and tablets and told to study. At four o’clock we were let out of the palace. We no more than got out of the palace than our boys were soon surrounded by the older boys. We could not make out why our boys were treated so, but we were not kept in the dark very long, for the boys were soon minus a part or all of their beautiful locks. We were later told this was a sacred custom of Farrell High known as initiation. i It did not take us long to make ourselves at home at this palace. We were everyone’s pets, especially the teachers’, but is it any wonder we were pets? We were so attractive and obedient; so sweet and meek; and so brilliant! Nowhere in the palace were such brilliant people to be found. After we had lived at Farrell High for quite a while we gave a Freshman “Bawl”. Many attended and all had a good time. Of course the teachers were there to act as chaperons. Near the end of our first year’s stay at Farrell High we were acquainted with the fact that is was customary for Freshmen to give a picnic in honor of the Sophomores. Of course we wanted to do everything which was customary, so we gave the Sophomores a picnic. The picnic must have been a good one because the Sophomores all thought so, and you know they are so hard to please. With this our Freshman year at Farrell High came to an end. We were called into the king’s office and told we might now return to our homes for three months. At the king’s request we returned to the palace after three months of vacation. We were ready for work once more. The very first day we enjoyed ourselves by cutting the Freshmen’s hair. Then we settled down to hard work. During our Sophomore year we held but one party. This was a masquerade party which was held in the gymnasium. As Sophomore we still held the record for the great number of A’s. We [Continued on PaKe 132]
