Uhr Sharm Zllathle nf the illlvnvrnat 1412155 fuer Once upon a time, there was Foisted upon the Credulous Populace of the Great and Glorious Schenectady High School a Freshman Mob of Glaring Greenness. Altho nobody would have Thunk It, there was even then Per- sonages of Rare Potential Importance among said Moping Mob. The Com- mon Rablble, distinctly lacking in Knowledge of the XfVicked VVorld, were Rooked with Uncommon Facility by the Sinfully Superior Sofs. As Per Usual, General Admittance and Reserved Seats were Vended in Qualm-pro- voking Quantities, the Foolish Frosh being Villianously Victimized. Con- trary to Common Conviction, the Stuck-up Sophisticated Seniors neglected to aid the Charming, Childish Children. Eventually, however, Exquisite Ex- aminations Elevated the Lowly Lonesome Lot to the Somewhat Self-Sentred Sophomorical Status. Ah, Revenge was sweet! The Barbarious Bunch wreaked Sacharrine Vengeance upon the Innocent Incoming Class. This Necessary Evil Exe- cuted, our Klever Klass initiated itself to the Dirty VVork. The first class meeting was Inflicted during the Ides of March, nineteen twenty-one. Re- sults: Meeting Adjourned. Also, After Another or So, Mr. Ottman was honored with the title of Dean, VVilliam the Great, of the House of Bemis, was elected on the Anti-Prohibition ticket, gaining the presidency. Meeting Adjourned. By the Vtlay, a Class Entertainment was Slammed Over Along In Here somewhere. And then we were Juniors. Tragedy of Tragedies! Dues were due. And, not so tragically, we Dragged Down Some -lack on Leacock's Lecture. Altho the Fatal Eve Coincided Clashingly with the Championship Games at Union, Success was Self-evident. Those of the Fair Sex had been consider- ing themselves Ruinously Rooked because there were no class pins which those of the more Potent Persuasion might donate to them as Telling Tokens of Lasting Love. Now, and presently, all this worry was Demolished, De- structed and Doneawaywith. The pins and rings were ordered, and as many as Six had the Necessary Pecunia for their Apprehension. Eventually, if not then, the Imperial Insigniae were all paid for. .Mr. Ottman leaving old S. H. S., we dubbed Mr. Davenport dean. Then there was the Mere Matter of a Junior Dance. A Prom being impossible, we had a Gagey Shindig to which were invited only ourselves. The Blamed Thing went off well enough, the class being complimented for running the best Terpsichorean Trifle in some moons. Along in the june of nineteen twenty-two, we had an Enter- tainment, not for us, of us, but by us. Manifold And Varied Recitations Regaled the. Select Gathering, admittance charges being Two Bits. At the Finis of the program the audience was forced to Harken to a playlet, just a Ioustn, Perpetrated by one VVade, '23. Thus ended our third yearg coffers full, intellects worn, enthusiasm slightly waned, etc. In the Senior Year, every busybody, no, you, not every busybody, stopped a moment to elect the Great VVilliam for a second term. Then the Big Idea Came Into Being. XVe, in conjunction with the Juniors, Underauspiced the Concert of Reinald Vklerrenrath. This Vtlent Over Wfith a Vtlallop and the Rake-off was sufficient to allow us to Bid Adieu to the Durnecl Duez. Thus we Called a Halt to our Money Making career, having Kleverly Klung to most of the Lucre. V Moral: An' Ye XVould be Klassed Klever, Make Money Mightily. -DOROTHY VROOMAN, Slightly Assisted by Wade. 6
