To The Class of 1910 A 'fs LOXVLY and ma'esticall ' fflided Kino' Arthur's barge across the ,kay 'N v M r QQIZ C A Gb ' ,Q . V fx. J Cav .ll 3 6 Z3 6 waters. Against the jet black vessel, in the bright, morning sunlight, there gleamed and glittered the shining apparel and golden crowns of Arthur's three queens and in their midst sat Arthur, tall and commanding, all clad in his knightly armor with his sword, Excalibur, making the sunbeams dance. In the happy Isle of Avalon he had healed him of his grievous wounds, and in response to the message of some spirit wind that told him that a new Camelot and new knights were awaiting him across the seas, he had come once more to wage war 'gainst the hosts of Modred. Meanwhile, during King Arthur's sojourn in the Blessed Isle, only Sir Bedivere and his followers had been left to keep alive the kingdom of knights, and as Arthur advanced in search of the spirit winds promise, a sense of desolation and sad ruin sank into his soul. Here and there were gallant men whom he looked to find his knights, here and there were b1'ave courts estab- lished by some follower of Bedivereg but none of these satisfied his idyllic passion. Down from the Northland to the South he came, and hope was all but dying. Alas!l' he cried, would that I had remained 'forever in that blissful, deep- meadowed, bowery lsle of Avalon, and had not heeded the spirit wind, for Modred is too strong, But now another of those knightly courts loomed up before him, more majestic, more stately, more imposing than all the rest, and about its walls there was something of the look of the old days. Haunting memories of sacred history hovered 'round the nearby hills beneath the Southern Cross, and as Arthur hastened to enter the portals of the castle, portraits and statues of those first, long lost knights of the Round Table, met his eager glance, and hope surged high. As he passed in, tall knights and fair ladies came forth to greet him, and from these he learned that Sir Bedivere himself had established this court in the far-off days, to await the doubtful, but longed-for, 'coming of Arthur. Many a knight had lived, and fought, and died, since then. Each year a gallant company went forth, some were never more heard ofg some returned: and some were deemed worthy of having their names emblazoned on the palace walls in letters of gold. Even now a band of knights and ladies were about to leave. The knights were tall and sun-kissedg the ladies were fairer than lilies, morn- ing vvas in their heartsg and as Arthur gazed upon this company, he thought he beheld his knights of old. Hope, joy, unutterable peace came over him, and a heavenly light shown in his eyes. This, at last, said he, is the promised Camelot, and these my promised knights. Once more shall my Round Table be established, and Excalibur has not in vain risen again from the foamy deep. Forth, sir knights and ladies fair, I dub thee mine of Camelot, mine to fight my holy wars, and ever will Camelot await news of your victories. FROM 'A 1911. 7'n'cnty-nine
