TI-IE FIRST CAXY This, The I935 Caxy, being The TwenTy-TiTTh oT iTs Iine, iT is appropriaTe ThaT iT should conTain, besides The names oT The TirsT sTaTT members and Hs edHors-in-chieT, aT IeasT a TragmenTary hisTory oT iTseIT, a Tew words as To iTs raison d'eTre, and, IasT buT by no means IeasT, an answer To The TrequenT query: Why The name 'Caxy'? ' From iTs incepTion in I892, The ForesTer, The annual oT Lake ForesT College, conTained an Academy secTion. This arrangemenT noT being enTireIy saTisTacTory To eiTher insTiTuTion, during The school year, I9IO-I I, several members oT The senior class concluded ThaT The Academy should have an annual oT iTs own, and wiTh The advice and counsel oT William IvIaTher Lewis, Then headmasTer, They seT To work. The I9I I Caxy, a highly commendable piece oT work, was The resulT. The seIecTion oT a suiTabIe name Tor The new pubIicaTion was one oT The problems oT The I9I I sTaTT members. I-Iowever, Their search did noT lead Them Tar aTieId. The choice oT The word Caxy Trom a line oT one oT The Academy's oIdesT cheers - Caxy, coax, coax, coaxI - was a wise one, Tor even Today iT is doubTTuI if This usage oT The word has been dupIicaTed. The hisTory oT This old cheer, in iTs original Torm, daTes back To The Frogs, a play wriTTen in The FiTTh CenTury, B. C., by The Greek poeT. ArisTophanes. This ancienT comedy Takes iTs name Trom a subordinaTe chorous oT Trogs croaking IBrekekekex, coax, coax, brekekekex, coax, coax, coaxll on The banks oT The River STyx as Bacchus and Charon, Two oT The pIay's characTers, Terry across The sTream. Thus iT is hoped ThaT The perpeTuaTion oT This ancienT word presages IongeviTy Tor The Caxy and Tor LFA.
