1926 THE BEAVER 1926 procedure found us to be interesting objects. We thoroughly satisfied the appetites at our midyear party. In fact, throughout the year we were an ex- cellent example of industry, and at the end of the year we again proved our culinary skill at the annual picnic. Say, talk about eats, you should have- Judge: Order, order! Attorney: Is that all you have to say? The second witness, Elizabeth Eisen, will take the stand. When and where did you hear any slanderous re- marks about your class? i Elizabeth: Your Honor! I overheard Livy at the post office. Attorney: What were his exact words? Can you prove that Livy was wrong? Elizabeth: Yes, Sir! I beg to disagree with him, for our class supplied some great additions for both basket ball teams. Every organization was honored by our membership. Attorney: That will do. The next witness, Donald Hanson, will please take the stand. Did you hear any slanderous remarks about your class? Donald: Yes, Sir, I did. Well, I was in the library reading an exciting story about man and his beautiful wife, and a villian, and- , Attorney: Answer the question. Exact words please! Donald: ' He said that in our Junior year we did not enter into the joys of school life and did nothing to distinguish ourselves. But, your Honor, I don't believe a word of this, for no one has forgotten the crowning event of the season, that brilliant aifair, the Junior Prom. . Attorney: The next witness, Henry Shepherd, will take the stand. When and where did you overhear the defendant make remarks against your class? Give his exact words. Henry: One night at the Bon Ton I overheard him say that in our Senior year we did nothing for the benefit of the school and left without ac- complishing anything. Attorney: Do you believe him? If not, tell us why. Henry: I certainly do not believe him. In the Declamatory-Oratorical contests we took the cake. We also have three medals to our credit. This year we put on a lyceum course, an act never attempted by any previous class. On Senior day we successfully pacified the teachers at a banquet and even- ing's entertainment. Joining together in all activities we proved our class spirit knew no opposition. Attorney: We rest our case. E201
