ONCE UPON A TIME There was once upon a time, in the quaint little village of Poultney, a beautiful castle-like college. At first blush you would think it was overrun with a great many political prisoners, but on gazing again you could tell by a certain greenish hue that they were a new type of student called the frosh. Now the king of the castle-college was His Royal Highness, Jesse Parker Bogue, the great, and he was very much pleased with his new specie. He had caught one hundred, seven score and seven of them. Scratching his crown and rubbing his hands together he would watch them mill about in wonder and bewilderment between the trees and through the long halls of his castle. So it came to pass in that year nineteen hundred six and thirty that this king began to wonder what he should do to amuse such a muddle-headed troupe trickling about his grounds. His cohorts, the man-eating Sophs, had journeyed to a distant country, and so he was left alone to keep them from mutiny. Besides all this, he had a great plague to combat, which was termed the malady of homesickness, which, if it affected any of these animals, made them strike out for their former habitation. So you see the king was troubled in his mind. Consequently he called together all his wise men and asked them what was to be done about it. Now the chief of the wise men, Lord Le Grand Swann spoke up thus: O, King, I have an experiment which I should like to try. Give me these Frosh and I have enough plans to take care of them for a fortnight. This speech pleased the king greatly, for you see that relieved him of considerable labor. So these Frosh were coralled in a little building called the chapel, where they had to submit to such torturous testing that they guessed right away that this Lord Swann was the ogre of the castle in disguise. But when the morning had been com- pleted in this inhuman way, some of the other wise men, who had compassion on the poor things, packed them into carriages and sped away with them far out of the clutches of the villainous Swann to the beautiful haystack heights, where they could ruminate among the clouds upon their persecution.
