SPONSORS Miss Martha Jaeger Mr. William Magruder NE day, three years ago, as I was taking my constitutional early on a September morning, I was shocked and surprised on passing our noble edifice of learning, to behold a group of boys in the alley behind it, and each seemed to be taking his turn beating on a small- er lad. He was taking it all very courageously and almost as a matter of course. I was so distressed that I hailed a passing individual and asked him the cause of such peculiar behavior, in the very shadow of a place of supposed discipline. The man looked at me contemptuously for a moment, then uttered a single word and passed on- Freshmanl As it has been many years since I attended a grammar school, this abrupt answer was of no assistance, but as the passer-by seemed satisfied, and he evidently knew more about it than I did, I resolved to let the matter drop. I continued on my way to town and on starting to cross the street to the grocers, was held in my position by a most strange procession. Some who stood near me considered it ridiculously funny and laughed loud and long, and I caught thewords, '.'Freshmen-shirt tail parade. The poor boys in this procession although it was rather cool, had no stockings on, and seemed to be in the deplorable condition of the boy who was hailed in Mother Goose as Goody, Goody, Gout, Your shirt tail's out! Finally I seemed so desirous of gaining information that a friend explained the various things I had seen and heard. It seemed that, as Freshmen just entering high school, the punishment I beheld was a just and due measure. Observing the stoicism of the captives I decided to follow the course of this class as it progressed through high school. A year rolled away and they became Sophomores. Revenge was sweet and punishment likewise descended upon the heads of other unfortunates at the hands of these Borgias. Then this year I was pleased to note that this group of people had become Juniors. From time to time I noticed their doings and found that they were indeed supernatural. It seemed that scarcely a contest was waged but what the Juniors won. Their name was engraved triumphantly on the wonder cup-the Tiger Cup, and lo! even the.Work Day Contest was won by them. Then I found with great joy and anticipation that they were to publish the year-book, the Oipi. This I hurriedly subscribed for and enjoyed it very much. Their hopes are high as they leave their places in the Junior Class and become Seniors. What few fields they left unconquered they are certain to win in that year, for verily, they are a lively bunch! CWith apologies to Sir Roger de Coverlyl -Caroline Homan. TWENTH TWO
