• PRAIRIE DOG 1927 - CLASSES The Herds of Geryones I' was a bright warm morning when Hercules and the Prairie Dog planned L their second journey. After an hour’s steady digging in the ground beside ( the school portals, the Prairie Dog found a bow and a quiver of arrows, which Hercules grasped firmly in his hands, and after aiming carefully, shot at the sun. At the third shot there came a loud thundering voice, and the sun muttered violently, “(Jo ye down to the Mississippi river, and upon the spot where Marquette and Joliet discovered the ‘Father of Waters’ ye shall find a golden canoe, in which steer thv course through the lake of lotus flowers to an island called ‘Horseshoe.’ There ye shall see the herds of Geryones, with which ye must return here.” Following the sun’s instructions closely, they crossed the river, sailing through the enchanted lake, whose waters were filled with white and gold lilies of marvelous beauty. Arrived at the island, they sought the giant Geryones. He refused to divulge the secret of the whereabouts of his cattle, and Hercules was forced to slay him. The Prairie Dog, by means of his sharp scent, and keen powers of hearing, located the herds, and they were driven into the boat. In all there were four herds, numbering more than two hundred. When the boat again entered the lotus lake, a strange transformation occurred. The herds of cattle instantly were changed into groups of students—Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. No one was more surprised at this than the Prairie Dog, especially when he learned that they, too, had been under the sorcery of Indifference. They fell down and worshiped our heroes, and their joy knew no bounds when they were welcomed into Prairie High School. tiattasil ffi FIFTEEN
