embr Glam fblflory Chapter I In the sixth and twentieth year, and in the ninth month of the year, messages were sent throughout this region saying that on the fifteenth day of the month all seekers of knowledge were to convene in the land of learning. When the day and hour was come, and all had gathered thither, there was found to be six and forty new seekers who had come up from Eighth Grade. Now these are they that were numbered: Zethna Barnhiser, Ruth Black, Ardis Bowman, Helen Bray, Howard Brown, Woodrow Brown, Kenneth Coates, Alice Cummins, Anna Curtin, Alva Dafler, Paul Deisher, Geneva Douglass, Robert Deisher, Aleene Floyd, Marie Hartman, Marion Heck, Bernice Howell, Lillian Howell, Gertrude Iler, Howard Imes, Virginia Jellison, Hubert Iohnson, Mildred Kenworthy, Paul Koffer, Pauline Markey, Freda Miller, Ruth Mumma, Eugene Paul, Virgil Pease, Catherine Rice, Rutherford Rice, Lavone Rousch, Owen Rousch, Katherine Seeman, Nellie Seymour, Josephine Shank, Georgianna Singer, Robert Singer, Cleo Steck, Donald Sink, Lois Stockslager, Arreatha Strawser, Corrine Snyder, Raymond Unger, Mildred Via, and Charles Waltman. In those days the people who had dwelt in this land were strong in knowledge and looked with disdain upon the lowly seekers, but the wise ruler or professor said unto them, By perseverance and diligence ye too, will increase in knowledge, so be ye not afraid, and go join yourselves into a class, that ye may gain in strengthf' Straightway it was done, and these favorites were chosen as leaders: President, Corrine Snyder, Vice President, Lillian Howell, Secretary, Nellie Seymour, Treasurer, Robert Singer. It came to pass as they did dwell long in the land, they fell in with the customs of the inhabitants thereof, and they each became as one among the rest. Chapter II It came to pass when the second year was fully come, that the lowly seekers were increased in knowledge and dignity and accordingly were called Sophomores, Now when they were assembled together it was told that Ruth Black, Ardis Bowman, Kenneth Coates, Alice Cummins, Anna Curtin, Marie Hartman, Pauline Markey, Rutherford Rice, Lavone Rousch, Owen Rousch, and Josephine Shank were fled. Moreover, from adjoining territories came four other youths: Faye Grill, Doris Sodders, john Thomas, and Irma Stockslager, who cried out for admittance. Therefore it remaineth that they were received thereinto, and increased the number of Sophomores to thirty-nine. Page Seventeen

is 3 Chapter III Behold, it happened in the third year that Catherine Rice, Marion Heck, Gertrude Iler, Ruth Mumma, and Arreatha Strawser, did separate themselves from the land, and each did go his way out from the land. It also came to pass that the number of the seekers was strengthened by the entrance of Pauline Markey and Melvin Duke. Now it came to pass in this year that the juniors did present a great and wonderful play. On the historic night, multitudes did fill the auditorium to its fullest capacity, and everyone did marvel at the ability of the juniors. As the last days of the year drew nigh, the juniors after the custom of the land did prepare a great feast for the Seniors. And they all did come and eat and make merry. The more wise of the land did speak unto the Seniors these words, Behold, the hour cometh, yea is no-w come that ye shall be scattered every man to his own, but be of good cheer for ye areprepared by wisdom to overcome all things. Lo, the Seniors did pass from the land, and the Juniors did rejoice and make preparations for the final year. Chapter IV When this, the fourth year was come, it did happen that certain of the class: Irma Stockslager, Virginia jellison, Faye Grill, Doris Sodders, and Donald Sink, had departed from it. However, there came into the midst two strangers: Marie Reed, and Glenn Hoffman. Many days of the year have passed, and preparations have been in making for the final departure from this wonderous land. Hubert Johnson, Cleo Steck, and Geneva Douglass, have decided to remain a twelve-month longer and gather more of the fruit of knowledge So after the space of four years, eight and twenty youths, Zethna Barnhiser, Helen Bray, Howard Brown, Woodrow Brown, Alva Dafler, Paul Deisher, Robert Deisher, Aleene Floyd, Bernice Howell, Lillian Howell, Howard Imes, Mildred Kenworthy, Paul Koffer, Pauline Markey, Eugene Paul, Katherine Seeman, Nellie Seymour, Georgianna Singer, Robert Singer, Lois Stockslager, Corrine Snyder, Ray- mond Unger, Mildred Via, Charles Waltman, john Thomas, Melvin Duke, Glenn Hoffman, and Marie Reed, who have diligently toiled in the pursuit of knowledge will go forth from the land. Happy is the man that findeth knowledge, For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, And the profit thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubiesg And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her. Page Eighteen
