THE BLUE AND GOLD And many more times during the year were people called to the royal palace for conference. And it came to pass when the last quarterly payment fell due and again the people had gathered around the king he spake thus, saying For the most part ye have been diligent in me work of the kingdom and to those will fall the reward. Ye, my children, have known the requirements which ye were to have met. Blame yourselves, then, have they not been met ere this. To those who have had an average income of seventy or more shekels per quarter, Ye are to be advanced into the ranks of the nobility. But to ye who have not, I say unto you, whosoever would succeed must toil by the sweat of the cerebrum. Liet thee out of my sight and see that ye come better prepared at the next reckoning. BOOK OF JUNIORIDUS Now there was in the Kingdom of Knowledge, a form of government among the nobility, the leader of which body was responsible to the King alone. And the King called the young nobles together and spake unto them, saying I have called you to- gether, my children, that ye may elect from among your number, a leader, in whom ye have conndence and whom ye will obey. Choose wisely, for the depth of your wisdom shall be determined by your choice. And after much deliberation they chose a young orator of note, a certain Haxen-haired, blue-eyed youth, jamisius Alerionius Bope. And as his assistant a certain fiery, rambunctious young orator and warrior was chosen who had been named Clarensius Denverious Fox. Next they elected as chief scribe, justinerin Glathart by name, and as chief of the money changers, Vergilius Barger. And when the king heard of these he was well pleased and peace reigned supreme-for a while. And it came to pass that on a day near unto the second quarterly payment, that the nobility held high pastime which were called Xmas Rhetoricalias. And soon after these events, the elders of the nation rebuked the young nobles, saying Thou art young and foolish. Wherefore dost thou argue. And straightway the young nobles proved them- selves the wisest, in three out of four trials. And the elders were amazed and sat in their various corners meditating on deep thoughts. And 11Ot content with this, the young nobles held the high festival of the season tThe Touchdownl. And as the fourth quarterly payment drew nigh, the king called his young nobles together and said unto them Ye have known my rulings, and laws. Ye know what is required. Then I say to those of ye who have been faithful and successful, nobly done. Our elders are too old, and soon will perish. So, noblemen of the Kingdom of Knowl- edge, henceforward from this day ye shall be known as elders and wise men. And they dispersed exceeding glad for the most part, but hearing as usual the never-ending lamenta- tions of the few. BOOK OF SENIORICUS And now that they were elders, each assumed unto himself a new dignity. And every man and woman, wore his dignity around him as a cloak, and went abroad at all times to display it before the eyes of the people: the late arrivals from the provinces and also the young nobles, who had been appointed to the vacant places. And the people were im- pressed and murmured much admiration. And when the novelty was no more, the Leader of the year before called a meeting of the elders in the council chamber and made known to them the fact that the time had come when they should choose from among themselves a new leader and chief elder. And when they had chosen by the casting of the ballot to the number of five times, it became known throughout the nation that Albertius Boss had been made the chief elder. For second elder, a man of the rabble was elected, Dickit Dimples Martz. The post of venerable chief scribe was given over into the hands of a Leonius Mertz while Gracylius Rhinehart became chief of the exchequer. At which each elder was much pleased and content. 1 ' -q But this contentment was short of life. For it happened one day, when one of the taskmistress' of the elders was absent, the elders did arise in revolt and set about to destroy the city, but changed their cerebral conclusions when the taskmistress returned. And straightway she told the king of this misdemeanor. And the King was exceedingly angry and did issue an edict, prohibiting a mid-year gala day by the elders. And the elders did arise in arms,-but sat down again. And the elders did ponder together and after much deliberation did set a night for feasting and revelry and as it was not objected to, it was held, and many did come and enjoy it. And it came to pass that the young nobles became angry at the actions of the elders and did argue with them and the elders were defeated. And when the elders were defeated they were exceedingly wrathful outwardly but they did smile within themselves for it showed that the nobles would be ready in good time to take the places vacated by the elders. And it came to pass that the elders held high festival after the third payment had been allotted. C Pals First l. And its success traveled afar to foreign lands and great was its praise. And as a last work, the elders wrote a parchment tBlue and Goldj and they were acclaimed great indeed. KContinued on Page Twenty-sevenj Page Twenty-one

HISTORY OF SENIOR CLASS BOOK OF FRESHMANISIS In the beginning, knowledge created books and volumes. And these were read by but few and the spirit of knowledge moved through the pages of these books and volumes. And knowledge said. Let these be studied, and they were studied. And so it came to pass in the reign of the good King Darius, that the children of ignorance set out for the promised land, and arrived in the outlying provinces of the Kingdom of Knowledge. And when they had arrived and pitched their tents, messengers of thc king came bearing parchments and scrolls, and then read the law of the land to them. And after they had been duly registered, work was allotted them by the emissaries and they were placed under the directors and taskmasters. And their pay was allotted quarterly. And when the first payment came due, the children of ignorance gathered around the task- masters and received payment, each according to his own ability. And cries arose against the king-but soon subsided. Now it happened that the subjects of King Darius held high festivals to the number of three and four times a year. And on each occasion the children of ignorance journeyed to the metropolis and took part therein. And their hearts were exceedingly glad when they were permitted to digress from their daily labors and hold a festival in the Metropolis lThe Country Ministerl. And so it came to pass that the fourth payment fell due and again the children of ignorance gathered to receive the allotment. And the good King Darius issued an edict that all who had received an average of seventy shekels per payment for the year were too valuable to remain in the provinces to live in the imperial city. And when this became known there was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth by a few, but the many were exceedingly glad and shouted joyous praise to the l-'ing. And of those who had sorrowed, some went forth from the country never to return. and some stayed in the provinces, but of those who had been faithful, nearly all went to live in the metropolis. I BOOK OF SOPHMOROSENESS And when they arrived in the imperial city, they were quartered amongst the towns- people. And they learned that the system of payment and rates by which they had been payed in the provinces and the system of supervision was the same throughout all the kingdom, even unto the capital city. And they marveled at its justness t?l and were content. And many did neglect their work because they had done excellent work the year before. And so it came to pass. that King Darius did become angry and calling these wayward ones to the palace. he did confer with them. And they were much frightened and did fall down and weep, saying Mercy, Oh King. Mercy. but the King was stead- fast and replied, For work alone shall ye be recompensed. Show unto me that ye are worthy and ye shall not suffer my wrath. And they went forth, much impressed and did work diligently for a while. And there came wise men representing a great nation from the northeast but were sent back defeated in argument. Page Twenty
