Jlertfy BmbojL Mentor (Elans Histnnj WAR!! Freshmania, Sophylvania, Junioria, Seniorland—all were at war—one against the other. The cause of war declaration was that each country considered itself superior to and more progressive than its enemy. A friendly discussion between patriots of the four countries on the merits of their respective lands had become a fiery dispute, finally terminating in war. Freshmania considered itself superior because it had originated the plan of doing away with a mid-year graduation in its schools beginning with the class of ’34. It also boasted of being the first to use the new cafeteria and gym. Sophylvania's superiority complex came from her belief that she was older and more experienced than her most bitter foe, Freshmania, and because of the interest her patriots showed in sports. Junioria was proud of the success of a grand ball, given within the citadels of her country, which had drawn guests from far and wide and had been front page news because of the many famous personages which had attended it. She was also proud of the importance of some of her people who had become officers in some of the best known clubs in the country. Seniorland boasted about and glorified in her newly established honor system, and in addition to this honor system was her Honor Society. An appointment to this illustrious organization was deemed the highest honor obtainable and only those individuals possessing ability, splendid records in leadership, character and a progressive spirit were tendered this much-sought-after prize. She also called attention to the class officers; President, Theodore Perry; Vice-President, Sidney Baum; Secretary, Belvine Rosen-sheim. Her artists, she said, could not be duplicated and her athletes were incomparable. With each country bearing its own grievances in mind, the fight had begun and dragged on interminably. One army would gain one day and the next day lose what she had gained. After several years of this, each began to long, secretly, for a respite from the grim horror of battle. But since they were all stubborn, they would probably have kept on fighting if the neutral country of Alumni had not offered to arbitrate. The offer was accepted after some hesitation and Alumni was left to itself to cogitate on a fair decision. After deep thinking and much research. Alumni delivered its decision as follows: “This, the neutral, fair-minded country of Alumni has decided, after serious meditation, that Freshmania, Sophylvania, Junioria, and Senior-land are equally powerful and absolutely interdependent. You, Junioria! Would your great ball have been a success without the cooperation of your three foes? You, Seniorland! Would you have your great honor system page eighteen
