1 '-it 'uv ng A , . - ala J' f- XDL x I 1 Head Boy and Head Girl e cr cz cr IN the waning of the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six, the Caliph Haroun-al-Nusbaum ascended the throne of theNEmpire.of Manual. And, whenever the people of the Empire gathered together, he presided over them and kept them in order. Every fortnight he held his court. Here fiire- gathered his ministers of state and his representatives from the various kingdoms of the Empire. They considered important matters and discussed questions relating to the welfare of the people. This noble Caliph not only attended to governmental affairs but at every social gathering offhis people, his tall, com- manding figure was seen. He was at every contest to clieer his representatives on. He had great interest in all the activities of his people and was always ready to listen to what they wished to say. The helpmate of this noble Caliph was the beautiful Katherine or Zobeide, the Weary. Every damsel of the land was her friend, and each one brought her problems to thequeen. Katherine was at the head of a group of damsels known as the Girls' League. At every contest or social gathering she was to be seen with the Caliph. She was interested in everyone, and her cheerfulness and beautiful disposition made her beloved of everyone in the Empire. She belonged to the Boosters, a group of damsels whose sole purpose was to promote the welfare of the Empire. In the realm of the Intellect, none was higher than their well beloved Queen. Great will be the sorrow of the people when the time shall come that the good Caliph and his beautiful colleague have to yield place to the rulers who come in from the younger generation. l15l
