Ofye Cegen6 of 1917 Now it came to pass in the fall of the year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifteen that the Children of Promise returned for a third time to the famed Institution of Learning, known from old, as Park College, to dwell there in further pursuance of knowledge. And lo! the Rulers of the College, grave body of men called Faculty, beheld their return with great joy and, after prolonged consultation and profound meditation, dubbed them the Children of Erudition (which being interpreted is Juniors) because they sought learning; and they approved of their high ideals and excellent behavior. And the Children of Erudition met together and chose rulers and behold, when the autumn air was tinged with frost, and when the first leaves began to fall, the Head Ruler, Boney, did summon a council and they did plan a feast, to be held on the hill-top. And the Grand Advisor of the Children of Erudition, Professor Kerr and his Noble Assistants, Mrs. Kerr and Elizabeth, did merrily chaperon the excursion. And then a great fire was builded and when the odor of coffee filled the air with its aroma, they did roast wienies and eat and drink the beverage. And it came to pass that on the same night the Children of Brilliance, (which is interpreted Sophomores), in imita¬ tion, attempted to have a feed on the hill close by the Chil¬ dren of Erudition, but lo! in the very midst of their revel¬ ing, they were viciously attacked by the great band, called Children of Ignorance (which is interpreted Freshmen). Then the leaders lifted up their voices and called to the Children of Erudition “let us go over and make sure that the scrap is a fair one,’’ and they did go over quietly and with great dignity but did not consider it needful to put a quietus to the fray, for the maidens, with intuitive in¬ stinct, passed judgment, saying that the fight was due to the super-energy of youth which would ere long be quenched by the cold realization of life. And now, in the late winter, the Grand Advisor left and Professor Magers was chosen to take his place and Mrs. Magers did consent to assist in the arduous task of advising. And the Children of Erudition met at the home of Professor Magers in order that they might show their gratitude to Professor Kerr for his kind guidance and that at the same time they might welcome their new Advisors. But the greatest achievement of the year came to pass when the Children of Erudition entertained the Children of All Knowledge (which is interpreted Seniors) at a grea+: banquet—the memory of which will ever remain and shall be handed down in the annals of the history of the College. And before summer vacation began the Children of Eru¬ dition again repaired to the hill-ton and held another feast and the Children of Ignorance and the Children of Brilliance And these are a few of the events which have come to pass in the third sojourn of the Children of Erudition in the Famed Institution of Learning, known from old as Park College. were required to remain in their rooms and the Children of All Knowledge were not invited.
