For Primus of the House of Rankie led the Tribe. Mighty games and festivals of splendor made the Tribe of the Third year great throughout the Kingdom. F In the spring of the year they did appoint a day to bow down in hon- or, to the Tribe then of the Fourth Year. And long was the labor thereof, but rich was the reward for all made merry and danced to the sound of cymbols and brazen instruments. And so passed the Third Year of Tribe of l24. CHRONICLE FOUR And now the year of one thousand nine-hundred and twenty-three rolled up and the Tribe of '24 became the people of the Fourth Year. And Harold ofthe House of Pore was leader. Hard was the task of the Scribes and Prophets for the teachings were not learned and the Tribe of '24 la- bored without ceasing. And as was the custom a day was appointed in the spring of the year for the departure of the Tribe from the Kingdom. Days of merry making were appointed and of mournful gatherings, and not a few. And as the spring of the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty- four did approach, the Tribe was sad that their sojourn was so near com- pletion, For the remembrance of their days was pleasant and as honey to the lips.

14 THE PETONIAN SOJOURN IN KINGDOM OF HIGH SCHOOL TRIBE OF '24 CHRONICLE ONE It came to pass on the fifth day of the ninth month in the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty, a mighty tribe came out of the land where they had tarried eight years, and took up their sojourn in the vast Kingdom of High School. And their hearts were sore afraid, for in that Kingdom ruled the mighty King James of the House of La Poe, and on his right hand were commandments inscribed in chalk, and on his left hand were rods to chas- tise his wayward people. And his commandments were written on the minds of his people as often as the sun rises and sinks in the Heavens, and they were these: Thou shalt not converse with thy neighbor, nor any wise inscribe thy thoughts to him on parchment. Seven hours shalt thou labor and do all thy work. But on the eighth hour shalt thy labor cease. Thou shalt not take unto thy self gum to chew. Thou shalt not question the mighty sayings of thy scribes and prophets but obey their commandments. And all the days of thy natural life shalt thou abide by these. And out of the midst of the Tribe of '24 there rose a leader, Harold of the House of Pore, who did lead the wandering people with a firm hand. And the Tribe proved themselves strong and did rise above all others, And the people did shout and rejoice. CHRONICLE TWO Now in the second year a Scribe, James of the House of Wilson led the tribe, and all was well for Harry of the House of Lucus was their ruler. And again the Tribe of '24 gained honor in the Contests among the Tribes. And the prophets of the land were pleased and prophecied great things,
