LIBER PRIMUS- All High School is divided into four regions: the primus is inhabited by the Freshviri, the secundus by the Sophomores, the tertius by the Juniores, ami the quartus by the Seniores (called in their own language, the Elect.) A distance of eight credits divides the Freshviri from the Sophomores, the Sophomores from the Juniores, and the Juniores from the Seniores. LIBER SECUNDUS- Conquests of ours as Freshviri, 1923-4: Having absorbed all the knowledge of Hither School, ours, on the Kalends of September, entered Further School (called Liberty Center High School) with duabus legions. The prima legio contained one puer and the secunda eleven puellae. Under the leadership of Imperator Welch, Legata Deopker and Legatus David- son, we fought many battles with Algebra, English, Latin and Botany, finding Algebra and Latin the strongest enemies. Eight credits being granted us, we returned home for the summer vacation. LIBER TERTIUS— Conquests of ours as Sophomores, 1924-6: Under the rule of Imperator Welch, Legata Calkins and Legata Corlew, we re-entered Further School with one puer in our prima legion and eleven puellae in the secunda. This year, we en- countered Geometry, but put it to flight. English, Algebra, History and Caesar made a conspiracy against us, but we forced them to give us as hostages eight more precious credits. So we returned in triumph to summer quarters.

QUARTUS- Conquests of ours as Juniores 1925-6: Incited by past victories, we came back to Further School with one puer in our prima legion and nine puellae in the secunda. Leroy llanrahan deserted from our prima legion, but Alvar Olson enlisted in his place. We worked industriously on three hundred tabulae of the Liberty Echo and presented a play, “Captivi in Wood- ville. Under the leadership of Imperator Bockelmann, Legatus Carlson and Legata Corlcw, we laid siege to eight more credits, and, having gained possession of them, ceased lighting tor three months. LIBER QUINTUS— Conquests of ours a Sen 'utres. 1926-7: In September of this year, we made our quart us march into Further School as Seniores. Our prima legio still contained one puer, but the secunda legio had lost two milites. Margaret O onnor, who journeyed to Chesterton, and Grace Lcnberg. whom home duties called away. We found a change in our officers as well, for, inita aestate, L. Albery had led Legata C. Corlcw in matrimonium, so now her name became Legata Albery. Again we faced and van- quished new enemies: Physics, Bookkeeping, Civics, N irgil. Eco- nomics and their many kinsmen. Tonight we are offering to Further School the first Class Night Program to be given at Liberty Center. We have obtained our thirty-two credits: we are now awaiting Commencement; then we shall embark on the Mare itae. Exituri vos salutamus! We, who are about to depart, salute you!
