1926 THE BEAVER 1926 E . V Opposing attorney: Will the defendant take the stand? You have heard the evidence of the class of 1926 as given by these four witnesses. Do you still believe in the slanderous remarks you made? Livy: No, Sir. I confess I'm entirely wrong and am willing to take back my statement. Attorney: Your Honor! You have heard the confession of the defendant, please .be lenient with him. I am sure the class of 1926 forgives him. I re- quest that you consider this when you sentence him. Judge: In view of the seriousness of the offense, the defendant's sen- tence could not possibly be lenient. He must therefore live up to the follow- ing laws to the best of his ability. First, Be the cause of at least six basket ball victories next season. Second, Forget all about the girls. Third, Stop blutling the teachers for good marks, especially the geograpliy teacher. Fourth, Consider before you criticize, etc. Case is dismissed. Bailiff, bring in the smelling salts, revive the prisoner, and then call a taxi and send him to school. Next case! L. QB. and J. G. '26. Uhr lgrnnklrt The brooklet winds its lovely way To a far and distant sea, ' Its course is blocked by snags and falls As the lives of you and me. It glides along through fields and woods Through sunshine and through showers, Its melody sounds sweetly clear Amid the woodland bowers. So let our lives be moulded thus To laugh in spite of woes, Our lives will be more happy then, We'll have more friends, less foes. The brooklet sings as it glides along On its way to the distant sea, ' Its waters speak of sylvan haunts As it prattles o'er the lea. Let us follow its course along And compare it to our own, The farther that we follow it The larger ithas grown. And so should we, day by day Better and nobler grow, Good citizens, our aim should be To banish care and woe. G. J. '26. E211

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
