In English History Henry VIII was present with a few of his many wives. A formidable Norman Castle was there, moat and all. A Saxon dwelling with oxen industriously pulling a load over a narrow road.

By far the most popular one is H20 Years Hence or 5A's Futuref' Always original, we are going to give you 'iFive A's Past. Do not blusl1 and take furious bites of your fourth finger nail, O gentle readerf-far be it from us to reveal to the horrified stare of the reading public the skeletons in 5A's closet. We simply mean that f'Five A's Pastu takes place at about the time of Lincoln's 3rd paragraph of his Gettysburgh address. The story opens in the beverage room of Ye Olde '1l2J.I'VCl'IlCU and an interesting room it is. Seated at a table near the wall are four boisterous young men-Burns. Yilelch, Stinson and VVard, who, between sips of milk and bites of soda biscuit, are discussing the possibilities of a new game of basket ball. The sound of galloping hooves draws them to the doorway. Xxxxxxxx, dressed in a grey coonskin coat and riding a grey plymouth, comes dashing up the street shouting The Brown Coats are coming. Sure enough, the P.C.l. Cadet Corps, led by Jim Wood, comes strutting up the street. As they march past, with fearless look in their eyes and unwrapped putties on their legs, Jack Couper. a Yankee for business reasons, is heard to remark Ah'm thankful, suh, that Canadah is soon to have a navy, and retires to dip his comely face in a stein of lemonade. John Cowling, becomingly dressed in doe-skin breeches and rutlled shirt. joins the party. John is the editor of Ye Hot-Cha Newsf, a publication which weekly draws the wrath of Ferguson Barr. Lawrence Henry and Carleton Patch. the brain- trustees of the Board of Education. Ye Editor proudly showed us a picture of his beach beauties. The two foremost looked adorable in a creation of twelve yards Qngham and three plush drapes. while of two others the faces peeped shyly from behind a beach unmbrella fused in winter as an awning alternately for the Town Hall and Black and Borland's general storel. As we pore over this. behold! lWIcPherson and Pulkinghorn totter in and faintly call for two Ovaltines. After they down their drinks they inform the company that they have just seen a sight that has made their blood run cold. Blclione and Stabler have appeared in public with handlebar moustaches. Pammett, the inventive genius of the group, immediately set to work on plans for a collapsible tooth-brush, that will not interfere with the ends of such moustaches. ...SQ-.
