Boyd making; so thus they spent their time,—until Duke Comstock reported that the Treasury was low, and they went weeping to their good Wizardess. She warned them that there was approaching in the dim hut near future a something called which would require a huge amount of money, and she suggested that they start raising this sum by selling beans. Consequently, they all turned cooks, and in the course of time invited their enemies and friends to numerous bean feasts. All too soon approached the time for the grand ball, the 'J-S.,‘ which Wizardess Smith had foreseen. From the land of Seniorisota and from Faculty Town came the merry couples all bedecked in bright and gay colors. Never was there such graceful dancing, such sweet music, and such good spirit on the part of the guests. The little Sophomorites served fine punch between the dances, and later served other dainty refreshments. And the big Seniorites pronounced the ball a huge success. The story now draws near an end. After the ball, the Seniorites drew most of the attention of the dwellers in Vou ache-ess; for they were preparing to leave the country forever, to seek their fortunes in all parts of the world. Just at the end of the year, however, came the dreadful ar of h.xams. Many battles were fought, and some Juniorites were killed by the deadly 1 s. but there still remain a faithful few who will soon pack their bags once more and travel over the hills to the land of Seniorisota.

The Junior Class CLASS OFFICERS President..........................................Roy Th msiiov Vice-President...................................Frances Hermann Secretary..............................................Mary Boyd Treasurer................................................Everett Comstock Faculty Adviser..............................Miss Dora V. Smith HP 11FRF once ruled in the kingdom of “You-ache-ess” a mighty king, called Reeve the (ireat. honored and esteemed by all his subjects. 'Phis kingdom was divided into four large provinces, over each of which ruled a noble always chosen by the merry subjects who lived therein. Now. it happened that in the year 1921, A. D.. a certain Thorshov person came to rule over Juniorland, the third of these provinces, and he was spoken of by his fellowmen as Thorshov the Wise, because he did know all things. Close behind Thorshov in rank came Duchess Hermann, a beautiful maiden who ruled in Thorshov’s place when that one was ill or absent from the land. Then there was the Lady Boyd, whose honored duty it was to record all the Assemblies called bv his Wtscness for the people. Two other important officials were the rich Duke Comstock, who collected the monthly taxes of these penniless creatures and guarded the Treasury, and Sir Moulton, a brave knight, who endeavored to maintain order throughout the unruly land. In this land dwelt a famous wizardess who was always tilled with good ideas and was ever willing to give advice to all who sought it. Her name was Wizardess Smith. It was she who guided these subjects through the Paths of Righteousness. So it came about that many things happened in this queer land. But these folks weren’t always working—no, indeed. They enjoyed a little frivolity as did any others in the kingdom. They were quite active in all the national affairs, such as: the wonderful dramas presented by the ambitious organization, the Dramatic Club; the publication of the “Campus Breeze,” the literary effort of these people; and they both attended and took part in all the great football, basketball, and baseball tournaments. Two social gatherings held they in the Castle of Education, at one of which four ladies of the land presented a playlet entitled. “Two Aunts and a Photo,” which might have delighted Shakespeare himself. Among the folks were many skillful in dancing, and all were fond of feasting and merry-

Only two more clays t » get this in! We haven’t clone a thing this year except study Caesar, make up gym, and have one party—and that’s what I have to rave about in seven hundred and twenty-live words!” So saycth the poor reporter who has the job bestowed upon her of trying to stretch our activities into seven hundred and twenty-five words. Maybe you think that isn’t true, but it is. for we really haven’t done a thing lla-a-a! Hut if you do think it is just because we couldn’t think of anything to do (as many ignorant, misinformed people do think), just look at the results! By our own foresightedness we have saved our pennies until they have made dollars, and many of them. Consequently, we shall have enough money next year to have any kind of a “Junior-Senior” we want, without even considering the expense. Then we can say. “Don’t va wish ya were a Junior?” While we were saving our pennies we were, oh! so studious! One promising youth even went so far as to have four “A’s” bestowed upon him. which is not a thing to he passed by. Hm-m-tn! He is a Sophomore! Likewise and moreover, we have decided that an eighth period might set a good example as well as aid 11s in deciphering Caesar’s strange gibberings. The climax was reached, however, when all the Sophomore girls except two skipped showers after gym in order to get back and “draw that map for history!” Our gym teacher took it the wrong way. though, and made us go to gym make-up. But. at last, the eventful day arrived when it was unanimously agreed that we have a sleighride. We hadn't had a party that year, so we’d “do it Page Twenty-eight
