%e Crim50n William. The school colors are Crimson and White and should be sacred in the minds of both the students and facult ' , and not used for so many different purposes. Leon. In my mind there are three ways the Crimson is misused: unexcused slips, L ' s , and flunk cards. And the results of these are beautifully mounted on the misused white, the color of the grade card. Charles. What good is this grumbling doing us anyway? Let ' s cut it out. William. Practice what you preach, Charley; but who ' s having a good time at this old party? I didn ' t even like what they had to eat, and besides that I had a date, and she wasn ' t hungry. Leon. Well, I didn ' t think this party was so bad. We, at least, got a ride out. Charles. Well, whose horse ou going to ride back? William. Do you remember what Mr. (jerig ' s boy friend, Aristotle, used to say? Leon. Sure, you mean: All things that men care for they remember. Charles. Well, you haven ' t forgotten there are three seats waiting for us back here. All. AVell, that ' s at least something we get for nothing. Let ' j take them. William Bradford Leon Summy Charles Noble History irginia. Well, I believe that the legend was purely m ' th. Elizabeth. Perhaps we have merely misconstrued the meaning. You tell it again, Pauline. Paidine. Well, we have all heard this many times. It is supposed that some place in this vast mountain r ange there exists a fairy grotto. Note. Well, what ' s that? Paidine. A cavern like apartment. To continue — from this abode Father Time, aided b - two little sprites, is thought to control the time of the world. This is accom- plished with the help of two huge clocks, an hour glass, and a calendar. Didn ' t the tradition say that the clocks were ound only once a year on the day that a class gathers for the last time at Commencement? [All nod] Velma. In this place anything might happen. Elizabeth. Oh, let ' s rest and then join the other seniors. It surely is nearly dinner time. V irginia. Oh, no! Didn ' t we just see dawn passing down the path. Nate. We have already wasted too much time. As for me, I am anxious to find Father Time and help wind those clocks. Pauline. So am I ! Remember, we seniors have been div ided into several groups and sent in various directions to hunt the same place. If we get there first we ' ll have the honor of giving the bugle call to summon the remainder of the class. Velma. Well, let ' s go up to that peak. I believe there is a surprise waiting for us there. It may be the fairy grotto! Elizabeth. All right. Let ' s go. Virginia. Oh! How useless! (Exit) Page Twenty-Six

or 1926 Class Grumble Leon. Well, my gosh! If ainbody can give a reason why a fellow should gi e a speech like that, let him be hanged at sunrise. Charles and William. Right! Leon. Come on, fellows, let ' s go out and enlighten the outsiders on this insti- tution of learning. Charles. Well, we ' re here now. Look upon the reason wh the school is :i success. A-L-T-H-O-U-G-H— William. We haven ' t been able to get rid of these pink slips. Leon. Heck, yes! Why, that guy doesn ' t appreciate a good line. I ' ve i oiie in the death-cell for the past four years, and I ' m telling you. I have a good one all fixed up and what does he do? Listens to hear it and then says, You ' re after a slip, I suppose. He then reaches for a pink already addressed to me. Charles. You ' re right, Lee. I get my mail there every morning, also. William. Hey, you guys are always crabbing. Why don ' t you blow down. But since you ' re so full of ideas, can you tell me what ' s the good derived from L ' ' s ? Charles. Yes, one of the things that gets under my skin is the U system that is carried on in this shack. The only thing we do is to wish for the best. Leon. You ' d think they were giving lessons in the correct manner for the I think we do it quite Well, the thresholds of their lairs. young men to walk through the corridor. Personally, William. These lynx-eyed watchdogs stand at waiting for chances to do a few kind acts. Leon, aw! The murdering kind! Charles. Amen ! William. Why, anybody ought to know that ou should be allowed to con erse peacefully in any study hall. Charles. aw ! How far do you get with stuff? Leon. You sure hit it. Chuck. You attempt to give a fellow prisojier a pleasant good morning and what happens? You get it about half said, when some faculty member gum-shoes around, claiming all rights of talking. Villiam. Sure, the student that wants to get along should always be olanip- mouthed. Leon. Sure, try that and fail ; you can ' t do that over fifteen minutes, or ' .ou are accused of sleeping, the privilege given exclusively to the faculty. Charles. Well, you know why I got so many of the little, red marks. They never could understand me. Try as I might they always could find some charge ■«! which to make me take my finals. But I always fooled them. They never flunked me on that account. ViIliam. The only redeeming feature that the Alma Mater has is the athletic teams. Although the games bring in a young fortune each year to the treasury de- partment and have made our school the small school with the great athletic reputa- tion, certain members of our faculty fail to appreciate their efforts enough to decline from burdening the athletes with the dreaded U ' s . Leon. That is one of the most sensible things I e er heard you mention. Bill. And I sincerely hope that these plain and fancy U givers will do their part. Charles. Well, if you aren ' t the old philosopher! Eh, Pete? T ventv-fi e

Let ' s sit down on ihese stones and study this map. Elizabeth. It says that we should go up there — and then o er there, and then down here. Pauline. Well, that ' s what we did and we didn ' t find anything. Clock. Nevermore! Nevermore! Nevermore! Nate. What ' s that? (Reads) Made in G. H. S. in 1928. Elizabeth. (Walks toward the other clock): There ' s another one! Im- ported 1938 . Velma. Here is an hour glass. Vhy it ' s about time to turn it over — all the sand has sifted down. Pauline. I ' ll bet this is the place. Virginia. I told you — Elizabeth. Say, see how slowly these pendulums are swinging: ' I believe it ' s about the hour for Father Time to return — if this is his favorite haunt. Nate. I think he ' d be angry to find us here. Let ' s hide and wait. (All hide in silence. Father Time enters, turns hour glass, starts away, then looks at the calendar) Pauline. Begging your pardon, sir, I hope we ' re not intruding. Hut ou see we were, truthfully speaking, looking for Father Time. Ha e we found him? Can you be he? ( Father Time nods ) Elizabeth. We came to remind you that this year another class is graduating; and that this being the day to wind our clocks, we came to offer our assistance and if possible to ask a favor. Velma. The clocks ! They go more slowly and more slo ly. world will come to a standstill. (Father Time moves toward the clocks) Nate. Stop, sir. Please may I wind the clocks for you ? Father Time. It is unusual for this duty to be performed by any hand but mine; yet under the circiunstances I herewith place the keys in your hand. .Always wind this one first, and the future one next. Elizabeth. It is indeed commendable that the time of the world should be so well regulated. We are indebted to you. Vould ou grant us a portion of your time in which to present a petition ? (Father Time nods) Elizabeth. We, the Class of ' 28, about to pass out of existence, beg that you prolong our years in G. H. S. in order that we may longer enjoy the opportunities afforded by this institution of learning. Father Time. The clocks have already been wound. However, there is one concession which I am at liberty to grant, and that is to extend an invitation to your class to return here next year for an alumni reunion. But first I must know what your class has done to deserve such a privilege. Virginia. We have nothing but a record of our activities which we have pre- pared to give at the last gathering of our class this evening at the foot of this mountain. Page Twenty-Seven If they stop, the
