THE DRAGON 9 A Grip Efhrnugh warrrn High Svrhnnl Learned friends, our course of travel has brought us face to face with the eighth wonder of the world. It stands before us, this noble edifice, as a mausoleum to edu- cation, artistic, beautiful, the crowning work of art. Let us stand for a moment and View its massive structure. Behold how the twin towers loom into the sky, torn by enraged clouds of passing storn1s. Note the massive walls, loopholed by innumerable windows, thereby vouchsaiing light and air to knowledge-aspiring youths and maidens who dwell therein. The wide, spacious doors, too, add rather than detract from the unique picturesqueness of the building. l .-N... Now, fellow-lovers of the beautiful, our eyes have feasted copiously upon the exterior of this noble structureg let us enter and gaze upon the hidden marvels, obscured from the eye of the passing public, as all treasures have been since the beginning of man. Let us gaze upon the machine of education as it purrs smoothly thru the work of a school day. We are now within the sacred portals.

Now they satisfy themselves in bewitching their school friends with their art: later, the world will bow down to their prowess. But let us tarry no longer, let us seek the still hidden gems. XVe will fol- low this twisting trail into the depths of the building and see the elves and fairies in their work and play. Lo! we are in the workshop of the busy gnomes. Softly now, lest thou disturb their rapt attention and break their scene of bustling activity. Is it not alluring, this chamber of strange contrivances? Note the efficiency of the place. Solomon in all his glory, had not a fairy land like this. Here the magic art of Aladdin reigns. You wish a thing and prestol the wonderful machines scattered here and there put your wish into actual existence. Obstacles are of no avail in this realm of activity. They are met and vanquished by the pervading spirit, I'll find a way or make one, and the work glows in its pursuit. Now that we have seen dexterity and ingenuity at its best, grace and strength of gymnasium work will take the limelight.
