THE 1925 TATLER CHRONILES OF THE TENTH FORM By iiMARTHA,, To a group of spellbound children, Martha related the following astounding events: uWithin the fortified encampment the blue-uniformed army anxiously awaited aid. Supplies were cut off and the enemy near. ' iiSoon the clatter of rapid hoofheats was heard, and Paul Revere dashed. up on King Wilkes with the message of cheer, that the Legion was well on its way to their relief. iiWithin was active preparation for their coming, and in a few hours Alexander the Great thundered up the portcullis 0n Helen Bird, and passed over the drawhridge which a sentinel rapidly lowered at his approach. Following closely marched the Tenth LegioneTheirs not to reason why, theirs but to brace and try, into the salIy-port march the tenth legion. i iiIn the rear, trundling their impedimenta in a cloud of dust, came the baggage train, while a centurion followed close behind shouting anon, 011, on, my friends, beyond lies Italy and its fair fields are yoursf :With great joy the camp welcomed them and proceeded to lay out plans for the coming batt e. iiGathering at noon for mess the director general led the newcomers to seats of honor amid shouts of acclaim and joy. Stopping midway he said, iWill the Seventh Legion please refrain from noise, iiAfter the meal there was silence over the multitude except for the Three Musketeers who were using the opportune moment to discuss the most recent sensation at Persepolis, while DiArtagon eagerly listened in. Their social ardor being quelled, the director-general proceeded to explain the reorganization of the phalanx ontthe basis of courtesy, cooperation, self-reliance, and posture. Henceforth arrows were to be discharged from a lying down position, while each preliminary whiff of grape-shot murmured, By your leave, iiMidway 0f the messhall sat a group chattering away in Parisian French. Plainly to be distinguished were the young Romulus and Remus, and the stern William the Conqueror, while Demosthenes, removing a few of the pebbles from his mouth, excitedly urged, 5Get busy, boys, play ball? iiWhile the Pythian priestess related the latest divinations from the sacred chickens, an ominous darkness clouded the light of the day. MThe eclipse! It is a divine portentf they said in awed tones, and the gods were heard to snicker up their sleeves. t . mShades of Demosthenes; the great Pythagoras exclaimed as- a wraith-like figure came from the shadows into the momentary gloom, and was heard to muttertEureka, I have found it? mFound what? piped up the youthful Socrates from the far e of the long table. iiiThe pons asinoromf he replied as he turned his Hashlight upon it, preparatory to pass- ing over. iiAs the light grew steadily stronger at minstrel wandered hurriedly in and sang the fol- lowing lay: ii The stem prophetess appeared in a dream to the dainty princess, Nausicaa, and bade her become a mermaid, for it was test day and she must offer gifts to the greedy arms of the gods. Waking with dawn she said, tiMother, canst thou not lend me the electric to go to the Lake of the Islesfw Having arrived there at length she dived and splashed to her heartis content, gathering sea-weed, coral, and feathery spray for her gifts to Herodotus. Later as she sat in her wet and glistening robes she recounted the wanderings of Ulysses and after reciting many, many historical dates and facts in chronological order, she arose perfectly dry and drove hur- riedly back to school just as the class was coming dOWn to chapel. iiiAnd what of Epaminondas, unselfish patriot and statesman, who even now gives battle? And as they spoke there fias-hed across the screen the words, gVeni, vidi, vicif iiAnd thus, my dears, the Northrop Collegiate School urged on by the tenth form, adopted that message as a slogan, and approached the College Board Exams, that dire and dreadful confiict which is wont to leave so many unfortunates 0n the hither side of the river Styx?
