They were then informed that they would have to produce the biggest and best Annual commemorating Mel- boume High, The staff was then placed under the direction of Mr. Martin Schoppmeyer and Editor Tom Bass, who locked them in a storm cellar, from whence issued occasional reports of progress and pleas for air, After the chains were removed from the door, the staff members slowly emerged gaunt and sere with several pages of copy clutched in their ink-stained fists, After these were forcibly removed from their grasp, they were first studied by several Anthropologists and then sent to the printers. You are now looking at the best available English Translation of their labors.
