Alice Ewing NC'E upon a time in a certain city, there lived a sweet little girl named Jane-Elizabeth-Edith. She had beautiful golden curls, won- socks and even knew how to ride a “ Kiddie-Kar.” Her mother was very fond of her and gave her everything she wished. But still she was not satisfied. One day, as she sat playing with her doll, she let her thoughts travel hack over the eight preceding years. How well she remembered the day that a wander- ing minstrel had sung to her of a most wonderful Palace! He sang of the spacious halls and rooms where one could roam at ease. He sang of the sunny court where girls played games and romped in frolicsome glee. There, his song went on, there one could have a glorious time and still become wise and great. But he could not tell her where it was. Each night she had dreamed of this Palace—dreamed that she was there amidst the throng of happy girls—only to awake and find it was not true. And then one night a beautiful princess had ap- peared to her and had told her that if she would work hard for eight long years her dream would come true. Today was the last, day of the eight years. She wondered if there had really been a princess or if she had just dreamed that too. But no—suddenly there ap- peared that beautiful princess clothed in a shimmering gown of silver. She could hardly believe her eyes. Then, like music from some unseen instrument—a voice spoke to her. “Eight years ago I told you how you could make your dream come true. During those eight years I have watched you try to do my bidding. And now that you have succeeded so well, your wish shall he granted.” And taking Jane-Elizabeth-Edith by the hand, the princess led her away to this wonderful Palace of Learning—the Girls High School. So runs the story of the Freshman class of June ’25. Page Eight
