Chronicles of Class 1913 l. ln the days of Faleoner the Great, in tl.e sixth year of his reign, came messengers unto me saying, - 2. Write us, we pray thee. the deeds of the Seniors. lliylll illlll mighty, that we may record und seal them in the book of Knowletlge, whieli is ealled by the children of Tarsity, 'l'okoN'roNiiNsIS. 3. ilillfll 1 went up to my wateh-tower and looked round about ire. :unl behold, :leeds of strength and valour and mighty works were on every hand. 4. And 1 turned buck the leaves of time, and in the month which is eallerl Uelober was there great division among the peoples, for it was the time of elections. And it crime to pass that a leader was chosen from among' tile people to rlireet them in their eouneils. ti. And unto him were given eouneillors who should he with him to advise him and make the way hard for him, T. lt eume to pass that these wise men decreed that there should be a Class Reception, and on that day there was gathered a great assem- bly from all the peoples, S. And there was much promenading, and the murmur of voices rose as the soulld of many waters. il. And the leader again took counsel and sent unto Aura Lee, saying,-Our fair maidens shall dance and our youths shall make merry within your walls. Prepare ye the way for them. lll, And the youths assembled in the rotunda and made a covenant with one another saying. Let us go up to Aura Lee and let us take with us damsels of our number. None others shall we take. ' ll. And they went forth in great numbers, and the music was like unto the voiee of thunder. 12. And in those days behold the Rugby Team was known through- out the land, and sonic of its valiant men were chosen from among the ranks of the Seniors. 13. And a great multitude beheld them from the Stadium. 4 14. And en Field Day verily our men were eonquerors tfor there had lzeen mueh fa-ztingul, and so were the races won. 15. And there arose g,reat strife between the scribes who set forth the ehronieles of the ehildren of the University, and the valiant King of the ehildren of Harbord. lli. Wherefore there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth, and the wise men of the land were called upon to judge between them. 17. And unto the Class of 1913 were given many women of valour who should bring fame unto their people in tennis. 18. And they were skilful in basketrball and hockey, and in the paper-chases were they faithful unto the end, and annihilated mighty hosts of eoliee and erumpets. 19. And also in those days was set apart a room, a room high above the head of man, unto which the women might go for rest and peace. 20. Wherefore shall the children of the coming generations rise up and eall them blessed. 21. And in that year great were the changes wrought in the places round the field which is the Campus. 22. And there was the noise of many hammers and of a multitude of stone-cutters: for the barbarians which were ealled Knoxonians were building a habitation whose top should reach to heaven. 23, And on the other side which is to the East there was dug a great hollow from which should rise tower upon tower, a mighty stronghold. 24. Wherein the swingers of clubs and turners of handsprings, the divers and players of billiards, and the Y.M.C.A. should kind a refuge. 25. Behold among the Seniors was found great knowledge, such as had never been found before, no, not in any place. A 26. And their fame spread unto all the parts of the earth, even unto Weston, 27. The rest of the deeds of the children of Nineteen Hundred and Thirteen, are they not written in the books of Brebner, the Registrar?
