THE G1RToN1AN 33 The Trial in Elysium The Tract of Darkness spreads before my eyes, A weary waste, symbolic of the bleak And lonely road that all must traverse e'er They reach the land of Seniors, blissful goal, Elysium, with its fields of Asphodel. But now 'tis pastg I reach again the light. Across the gleaming plain there stands a Hall Most wondrous fairg I pass within its doors And find a countless host of Well-known Shades W'ho ever press about the central place. Lol on the dais high three judges grave Justice dispenseg the Principals are they, Who hear and give their verdict past appeal. To right there stands the Prosecutor stern And grimg his name is Facultyg his face No sign of pity or relenting shows. To left, the Genius of the Senior Class W'ith indignation and hot eloquence Defends each prisoner brought before the court. A stirring trial this-I join the crowd, When lol a clarion call cleaves thro the air: Amy Larrowe, stand forth and hear the charge The Prosecutor makes. CAmy comes upj.

34 THE GIRTONIAN Amy Bell Larrowe PROSECUTOR-'XNllC1'CHS, firstly, Amy Larrowe has thought fit to place her interest in fiddling rather than in serious application to academic responsibilities, and whereas, secondly, she has absented herself for a long period of time in the third year of the reign of the Principals during the academic session in a manner prejudicial to the best welfare of the aforesaid institu- tion-be it hereby declared, stated and made known that the aforesaid prisoner is unworthy of being the shepherd of the Senior Class. A sudden clamor bursts from out the hall, The surging throng press forward, swift a Shade, The Marshall, with a bell, order restores. Then speaks th' combative Genius, filled with ire: Oh, Prosecutor, cease your lengthy words, 'Tis worth, not adjectives, that wins this case. For look you, how with skilfulness and care This president has ever led her class, Behold the pitfalls ever near their feet- The by-path's easy, but the straight road's rough. Your Honors, all I crave is justice now. The Judges round them draw their regal robes, And frown in majesty their august brows, At length they speak, and on their words of doom The eager throng hang breathless, these the words: L'Defendant speaks the truth, and who shall cry For Justice in this court and be denied? Because of duties faithfully performed, Because of friendship's ties and wide demands, VVe here decree that you shall pass your days In leading onward in yet higher paths- Of Federated Women's Clubs the Queen.
