But tiring of their off-spring being continually underfoot, the people called a tribal meeting on the matter. And they reached no agreement until st prophet did tap thrice npo-n the earth and brought forth a mon- strous voice which bade them thus: Gather ye your shepherds, feed them iron and acid thrice daily, and on the twelfth month hence, build for them a sturdy structure in which to subjugate your young. And again the voice spake: Segregate the meekest quarter of your young. and call them by the name of 'Senior'. I And in its first year under the iron-livered shepherds, two of these guardians spake out that they did covet the whip-hand. And they were called Milady Minnie Croo-ks, and Milord Allan Wallace and they guided faithfully. But being of great pride, the group did install sages of its own, with Milady Gertrude Edwards, Milord Kenneth Perry, Miladies Helen Grolnning Page Nineteen

Sruinr Eiatnrg tC0'1fi'1111'fU and Betty Gallagher and Milord John Phillips holding authority in similar order. And on May 22 of that year, the whole body did convene to eat ice cream and relate starched ta.les ot Milords Pat and Mike. But the year had reached its ending and again o-fficers must needs be chosen. Miladies Florence Boyd, Valerie Haigh, Gertrude Lamping, Mary Johnstone and Milord Tyler Hull did sway the multitudes to their side. And they did look about themselves and say, NVhat, No Mickey Mouse? and thereupon did thrust a speaking cinema upon the school. And they did this with the aid of the Freshman class. Came the new year, and they took upon themselves the title of Juniors And their conceit radiated thru tl1e premises. Appalling! And by subtle magic Fred Griddle, Florence Boyd, Dorothy Fountain, Valerie Haigh and Katherine Blaylock did usurp the thrones of the mighty. And it occurred to them that a short repast might be taken, and they poured water on their heads, went out and dug up the box of Blue-jays and began to dance. And it was terrible. So they went back to their books and to elections. And they thrust the reigns into the hands of still more people. Dick Callahan, Jane Stolle, Erma Vtfisness, Gertrude Lamping and Helen Laucks did make promise to return the Holy Grail and were given leave to wo-rk their wonders. And they did cast dire epithets at the weather-man but all was soon forgot with the coming of another mixer. And it was little better being glum as was the custom of the day, for had not the prophets of '32 predicted seven lean semesters? And they realized their importance and let their self-esteem drown them stickly. And they claimed lordship of the manor.. So- an election was held. Peter Ferry, VValt Petersen, Leosia Lynch, Lillian Northfield and Jeannette Brown did so arrange that they be pnt into office. And the election was honorable and there were no cries of fraud or deceit as in times past, and all went well. Great efforts were made to gain funds from the class and they were shown moving pictures and the harvest was great. As ye show, so shall ye reap. And feeling in good health, the class did whiff deeply of ammonia and plunge into its last election. And there was a scuffing and bustling and John Phillips, Jim Lamont, Doris Hale, Garnet Gallup and Walt Petersen arose the victors. Again there were no cries of dishonesty, tho some grumblings were heard that Jim Lamont was elected by virtue of the o-il he uses in l1is hair. And yet another mixer was matched between the Juniors and Seniors and it was best of all. And it was miserable. Then came vacation for the Easter. And the weatherman gnashed his teeth and snarled mightily. And the fame of the class was great. Peter Ferry outstanding all others in glory, as journalist, honor student and orator. So passed that distinguished class into the ranks of postgraduates. All this, did I, Blaise, father of Merlin, magician to the Court of King Arthur, witness. Q -BOB DOBLE Page Twenty
