 . A Strange Tribe Entemfo the Land. Tee '04' Smite the Tribei tf the Higfnehttlitei. Now it came to paw that in the ninth month of the first year after the tribe of ’04 had taken up it» abode in the land of the Highschoolitcs, that there appeared on the border» of the land, even at the gate» of the Temple, a strange and unsightly people who spake with a foreign accent. And thus spake the motley horde: “Open up thy gate , O ye High- sehoolitcs, and let us to come in, tor we famish for knowledge. Verily have we drained the fountains of learning in the lower country, and devoured all of the manna of that land, and we perish lest thy gates be opened unto us.” Then were the gates opened and the newcomers rushed in; yea, like waves of the sea came they in. And they tilled the Temple to bursting, and all of the corners, and the passageways, and the doors, and the outer courts and the inner courts. And nowhere could the Highschoolitcs turn, save before them stood some of these men, named Fresh, and thereafter known as Freshmen. And in the greatness of their numbers did they become an abomination, yea, even a great nuisance. Then came it to pass about this time that the tribe which dwelt upon the left hand of the great 04’s became “ funny,” which terrible state is also known as “gay.” Whereupon the ’04’» did rise them up ar.d smite the tribe on their left, hip and thigh. And full sore and mournful and woe-begone was this tribe when the carnage had ceased. And they withdrew to the far eastern portion of the land, to dwell there in painful recollection and fear of the tribe of’04. And here endeth the second chapter. CHAPTER III . The Tribe of '04 Becomes Greatest in the Land. 2. Their Prophets Prophesy. And now, when had come the third year of their sojourn in the land of the Highschoolitcs, did the Tribe of’04 wax strong and mighty. For when were chosen leaders of the bands who did execute strange and divers maneuvers in the Place of the Cracked Bones, called Gym., then were the mighty men of the Tribe of'04 chosen. And when maidens were chosen to make a joyful sound before the assembled tribes, and to sing and lead in the rejoicing when the enemy went down humbled to the dust, then were the maidens of the Tribe of 04 selected. And likewise, when were called together the musicians from the tribes to sound forth the trumpet and the cymbal, were the leaders chosen from the Tribe of ’04. So also, when the tribes stand forth to contend one with another for honors and for fame, do the men of the tribe of ’04 excel. Verily, excel they all others. And their maidens sing songs, and their old men dream dreams, and their prophets prophesy, and the tribe grows wise and famous, as the prophet had foretold. And it was so. Selah! And here endeth the first scroll.
