The Army of Valor OW in the city of Waukegan on the shores of Lake Mich- igan, there grew an ar111y. Mighty in valor were tl1e menibers of tl1is l1ost, who set out to conquer the Phil- istines, Bighead, Idleness, XVise Foolishness and Envy. All these men of war that could keep rank came with per- fect heart unto the city, to make the Class of '06, as was tl1e army called, famous above all classes. Great was the fame which spread over all tl1e neighboring towns. And hearing of it, others pressed on to the Class of Honor. Now, therefore, they entered tl1e heart of the City and marched to their Castle, the High School, where they kept them- selves close. And the Philistines came, and spread themselves about the eastle, pressing elose upon the army. Then did they go out upon the two enemies, under tl1e Cap- tains Bighead and Idleness. ' So tl1e army drew nigh before the Bigheads, and they tied before them. And when the children of Idleness saw that the Bigheads were fled, they likewise lied out of the city. But the army of valor followed close upon them, and set the battle in array against them. And the mighty host destroyed the enemy and slew the cap- tains. Now did the host make merry, and they went out of the city to a hall. Feasting and dancing there was, for there was joy in the hearts of the children of the Class of '06. And it eame to pass that after the first year was expired, and the second year was begun, the spirit came upon others of another host, and they eame unto the mighty army. And they said, 'Teaee and strength be unto thee and thy helpers? And the army took them in and made them members of the band. So strengthened, the army went out upon the new enemy, the YYise Fools, who had gathered themselves up before the eas- tle whilst the army was absent. 13

And the battle waxed great, and continued for months, for tl1e enemy was persistent. Now it came to pass, that the love of pleasure came nigh unto ruining the army. Feasts were given and there was much dancing. And the power of the army wa11ed. Then rose up the chief of these children. and proclaimed against these ways. And the chief said, HBe it known unto ye, that our enemy, Foolishness, is without the gates of our castle. And be it known unto ye, that our strength waning because of this excessive festivity and dancing, thus displeasing the rul- ers of our land, that this enemy will overpower us. Now that it is not meet for us to see dishonor, hearken ye unto these my words. Leave off making merry and return to thy former valor. And the army hearkened unto these words of wisdom and went out upon the enemy and dispersed them. Then did they rejoice, for this was the mightiest foe in the land. Now ceased their labor of their second year, and they re- tired to rest. Now it came to pass that another enemy rose in tlre land, the one enemy left whom they had not subdued. Now the army had grown less, but the mighty strength of those left unto the band showed their rulers that they could not be surpassed. So down upon this enemy fell the army of valor, and tlre enemy were sore fr ightened, for after a fateful time, neither am- munition, nor fresh troops nor refuge had they. Soon were they delivered into the hands of the courageous host. Now therefore the band returned, rejoicing that they l1ad so soon overcome their enemies. . And they lived in their castle, and they waxed wiser day by day, for they were likewise strong in mind. Now it hath been the custom in the city on the shores, for the Juniors, as the victorious host were now called, to give unto the highest class a festival. This did the Class of '06, a.nd great was the glory be- stowed upon them by all the pupils in th'e land. Now did the army begin their fourth year of labor, and they rejoiced for they had slain all their enemies. 14
