4 THE SENlOR ANNUAL A tale begun in otiher idamys, When Autumn suns were glowing- A simple chlifme, that serveid to ftime The rhythm of our rowing- Whose echoes livve in memory yet Though envious years would say, forget, And though the shadow of a sighi May tremfble through 'the story For happy autlu-min days gone by, And vanished autumn glory- It shall not -touch one breath orf hale The pleasance of our fa.iry tale. The house was so well hiidden, one might almost stumble against it before one became 'a-ware of i't. All around, thie trees stood tall and stately, trees of oak with here and there greaxt spaces for the glistlening sunlight to wailk through. For the 'mo-st part these monarchs of the forest of by-gone days see-med to jolstle one an-other so closely that one almost ffanlcied thley must be uncom- fortahle. But in one spot they fell baok and standing in the midst of them was the house, a fhloluse so deftly rear-ed and so magically situated as to charm the wanderer. Tihe vsfholle structure possessed that self satisllieid, self-enchnanted 'beauty that made even the very leaves on the trees inquisitive as to vwhait was going on within. To this end -they looked in at the windows, whiclh stood open in pleasant weatiher, and salw many tihiings which must have 'sur- prised thfem. The army of i'nhabitaLnts went in 'boldly several times a dlay and all came out looking pleased with themsellves and with things in general. So there was necessarilly sometihin-g or somebody pleasant iinsidie the house. As the years rolled on, the giamt oaks Wl3'lS'Cl'lC'fCl with 'deepening interest the bands off pygmy work-ers come and go. They often had animated conversiadiions with the leaves, their sentinels, as to the marvels wroughlt within this wonldroufs place,-4this Hall of Minerva. ,lust toidfaiy the oak 'was ov-e'rhe'ard to ask,- 'What day is this? Why all this stir and excitement? Has the Ruling Rajah come to take the pygmies homie to the City of 'dheir Desires? ' ' In awed tones caime from the topmost lleavesz Four short years ago a ibaxnd of fifty 'six smalll pygmies fresh from the 'Land of Knolwedge Gre1e'n,' sought refuge here among the Great and Wise of Minerva's Hall. A slow but cautious Freshman band they were, whose courageous Chief, Arthur Thomson, lead them 'ever onward toward ia pinnacle of dlalme. His steps, as 'well als those of his followers, were Weill 'directed hy a code of ltaws. The older pyg- mies found in them many an advantage for sport. In the darkest days of toil how oft we have 'l'1'Cl3I'lCl this cry- 'We should like to know why The Seniors think they know what they're abo-ut, While the Freshies alll 'Uhlink thley're left out.
