And it came to pass after many days that they were again assembled under the same wise counsellors save that Miss Dunwell, who speaketh a foreign tongue had been added unto them. And to the class was added one Irving, son of Jones, who came from out of the Land of Wheeler, and also Freda, daughter of Bruns, and for her great wisdom came this honor unto her. And Leon Harrington now in the second year of his ruling over the people called unto the Assembly in a loud voice saying: “ The time is now ripe that ye choose a class pin.” And there was chosen a disc of gold with magic characters upon it, even Y. H. S. ’06. And the year was drawing to a close and a handful of the maidens said unto one another: “ Come we wish to be teachers of the people, let us go unto the wise counselor of this whole tribe, even unto the man of peace and justice, Mr. Ilughart, and he will teach us many things whereof we know not now.” And it was so that in the Pedagogy class they came to understand even themselves. But these and many other deeds, behold, are they not written in the hearts of each one of these people who have sojourned in this pleasant land from the last days of McKinley, The Good, even unto the fourth year of Roosevelt, The Mighty.

And it came to pass in the second year of the reign of Roosevelt, The Mighty, in the ninth month and on the fourth day of the month, that they were again assembled together. And there was sorrow in the hearts of these people, for it had been ordained that some of their number be taken from out of their midst. Among these, Ellen, who had taken unto herself a husband, one John Kuehl, and Anna likewise had taken unto herself one Charles Edwards for a husband. And after these things the History Class was split in twain; some of the number choosing to form strange characters of hidden meaning which in their speech is called Phonography, under a wise priestess, Miss Jones. And in the fourth month of the year the Seniors sent messengers unto the Juniors and said unto them, “ Thus sayeth the Seniors: ‘ We challenge you to a debate.’ ” And the Juniors answered: “ Verily we will do thy will.” And according to this saying was the debate, ‘‘Resolved, that Chinese Emigration be Restricted.” And it came to pass that Gene Eaton, Ray Marine and Gordon Durand were the chosen spokesmen for the Juniors, and they did also win the debate. And likewise in the second year of the reign of Roosevelt, The Mighty, there was organized among the people a company called a Debating Society with Clara Marquart and LeRoy Morrison leading them. And the Sophomores also sent messengers unto the Juniors challenging them to a debate. Now therefore the Juniors called the sons and daughters of their class together and the assembled elders cried out with a loud voice saying: “ We choose Bertha Tofte, Neil Arvin and Harry Doege as leaders.” But the Sophomores failed to keep the day and nothing came to pass therefrom. And in the third month of the year they were honored by having two of their number, Ray Marine and Jane Dalyrymple, chosen for the Second Preliminary Contest in Oratory, in which Ray Marine prevailed. And it came to pass that in the third month of the same year the Juniors assembled at the house of one of their number, Bertha, daughter of Tofte, the same being a Tacky Assemblage. And behold they came as pilgrims from the east, the north, the west, and the south in strange and worn garments of divers colors, even like unto the coat which Jacob made for Joseph. And after these things on the first day of the fourth month in the same year they left the scenes of their Sophomore Days and journeyed unto a new home, even the pleasant land of the new V. IT. S. And the year was drawing to a close and Leon Harrington ruled the people; therefore he called together an assembly of the sons and daughters of the class. And it was ordained that they should show kindness unto a kindred tribe who were about to leave their midst, even the Seniors of that year. And behold it was the springtime and they went forth together toward the north where the sweet waters are like unto a land flowing with milk and
