Book of Chronicles History of the Tribe of ’21 in High-School Land. Chapter I. 1. Now it came to pass in that part of the land of learning which is called High- School land, that on the fifth day of the tenth month of the year, nineteen hundred and seventeen, there was a new tribe as- sembled with the other tribes of High- School land; even that which is called the tribe of '21. 2. And the high priest spake unto them all; and the members of the new tribe quivered and shook at his words, even though they were of great number; more than five score and ten were they; there being among them men of great valor, strong in body, keen of mind and of great cunning. 3. And the high priest who was called C. E. Harris, took pity on them because they were “greenish” which being inter- preted means “Freshies”, and he called the tribe of '21 unto him, and pointed out to them the Highways and Byways of life in High-School land. 4. And having pointed out to them the divers ways, he said to them, in a loud voice: 5. “Choose ye therefore, which way ye will take.” 6. Now the names of the roads were Al- gebra, History, Latin, German and Science. 7. And after each had chosen, each one according to his own mind, the high priest again spake unto them, saying, 8. “At the end of every six weeks, trial shall be made and if ye prove not your- selves to be valiant and faithful, ye, even ye, shall most certainly Hunk.” 9. And the high priest continued, say- ing, '•Rebel not against this law; even this or any other law, which I, or those who instruct you along the paths you have chosen, shall give unto you.” 10. And the high priest ceased and the tribe of ’21 went out and were humbled in heart and held the high priest in much awe. 11. And they were ridiculed and made much fun of by the other tribes, even those which were called ’18, ’19, and ’20. 12. And it came to pass in a few weeks, that the tribe of ’21 was again assembled together to choose from among them, a leader. 13. And after discussions of great length, they chose Earl Smith to lead them through the storm, yea, even through all the strife and troubles they were to find in Freshmanland. 14. And to help their leader, the tribe chose Clarence Van Vactor, whom they called Van. To keep the records, so that we might know in the days to come, what had transpassed, they did choose Ruth Henry. 15. Yea, even though all these had been chosen there was yet more work to be done. 16. And so they picked Florence Parker to select the talented from the tribe of ’21, and entertain their brethren in High- School, so that they might forget their cares and be happy. 17. Now it was the custom among the tribes of High-School land, to hold each year a feast known as a class party. 18. Then arose a mighty man of the tribe of pilgrims and he spake unto his people saying, 19. “Verily, if we do not this thing we are sissies.” 20. And the people answered in one voice, crying, “Tobuye”, which being in- terpreted is, “You bet.” 21. And so it came to pass that the tribe of ’21 assembled, yea, even for a Pttge Twoniy-NIno
