 GENESIS ANI) CHRONICLES Chapter I Now in the fall of ’25 there assembled in the halls of learning the cream of Whiting schools—the future wearers of scholarship W’s, the record-breaking swimmers, the tournament-winning cagemen, the golden-voiced orators, and vivacious tragedians and comedians, with hosts of sturdy Oilers. And when the wise faculty heard of the fame of this class, they came to prove them with hard questions. And these docile children took various and sundry intelligence tests. Howbeit, when the wise faculty gazed on their IQ's they said, “Elect.” Whereupon these seekers after learning elected ingenious Wilfred Grogan president, winsome Margaret Sharp vice-president, and honest Nick Gordon keeper of the records and moneys. At the same time Wilfie led the assembled multitudes in cheers and yells, while scholarly Michael Fercnce and sagacious Nina Harvey waxed mighty in the Latin contest. All this under the benign advisorship of kindly Mr. Emick. Chapter II Then, notice you, the second year came, and these prodigies in knowledge were Sophomores. And they strengthened themselves with Virgil Doman, the curly, as president; Vivian Rowe, the gentle, as vice-president; Orville Cluck, the diligent, as scribe, and Wilfred Grogan as keeper of the treasure. And in all work and in keeping the law and commandments they did it with all their heart and prospered. Wilfie directed cheers lustily. Lovely Lena McNeill declaimed with honor in the whole county. I nexcelled Joe Brock and Nick Gordon splashed and plunged for a silver cup in the new trophy case which was set in the wide hall. And Brock traveled through the whole state to win three golden medals. Whereupon Brock has seven records as whole state champion in many styles and strokes. And they entertained magnificently at a Sophomore party. All this under the charming guidance of Miss Stahl. Pa 19
