And behold the Most High one spoke and there appeared before him a body of seekers after knowl- edge. 2. And this body was divided into four groups and each group labeled, the title of Freshmen being given to our group. 3. And in the course of time we came to see the disadvantage of being without a leader, so we chose from among our number a certain student named Car- penter to lead us thro the devious paths of learning. 4. And in case he was disabled we elected Isabel Woodman to take his place at the chair. 5. Our scribe was a young man named Priest and the money keeper, student Rogers. 6. And as we saw the need of older heads we chose from our faculty Miss Kent and Mr. Carter to watch us thro our four years of searching. 7. And they all did their work wisely and well. 8. At an appointed time we gathered about our leader and decided to set aside a night for revelry and good cheer, to be heldiat the Reynolds' home, south of our fair city. 9. And when the appointed hour came, a great mul- titude had assembled, and the feast was on, and it was found that there were many there that did not belong to our group, but we left them unmolested. 10. After several hours of fun and frolic, we de- parted, many making the journey on foot, as the beasts of burden failed to make the required speed. 11. As the year neared the close, we had some difficulties with the more advanced students of learn- ing, causing several of them to be dropped until .the difficulties had been put aside. 12. This, along with many other incidents, made the first year of our search pass rapidly away. 13. So closed the first year of our search. BOOK II 1. And when the next year came. there was a new hand on the scepter, a new ruler on the throne, and when he spoke, the seekers came forth and took their appointed places. 2. And this time we were labeled Sophomores. 3. In the Sophomore group there were found to be many new faces, taking the places of some who had given up the search, or who had gone to other founts of learning. 4'. At an appointed time our group came together, and elected from our body a leader, Collins by name, who was seconded by Reynolds. Badger was chosen to act as scribe and money keeper. Thirty
