fiseonsin --- 1934 come down from New York to see the famed ruins of that twentieth centurycity so well preserved during all these ages. The guide service being practically thrust on us, we set out under his direc- tion and ended up at a building in good condition although visibly ancient. From then on, all we had to do was look and listen. This is a sample of what we heard. lVe are now entering the rear door of an aged school whose name appears to be lYisconsin High School. The hall we are now going through is the catecomb in the lower regions of the building in which the treasure and prison rooms were in- stalled. To the right we have steel boxes in which invaluable treasure was found, one of the items uf which is a collection of one hundred writing instruments re- lated to the Roman stilus, all of which have the names, .l9'arker, iVVaterman, Conklin. and similar ones inscribed in them. Most likely the cognomens of the owners. To the left you see the door entitled 'Locker lloomsf this being the prison room. On the right inside here is a queer button whose use is not known, but which probably released some hidden trap-door. To the left are carvings which the prisoners cut out. among the most legible are llud, l'ete, and K. C. But let us hurry to the next room. lt's on the right here. Hn the left is some decrepit machine undoubtedly used for torture purposes. 'lima the right you find many wheels and iron tools used for the same purposes. Straight ahead are the chains where the unlucky ones were probably hanged. Chances are, this room has witnessed many a heinous crime that would make us shudder. Ah but let us get out of this dreary atmosphere. Please take the stairway to your right. Un the left you see the balustrade down which the great orator, Hora- tius lfVilkius, was accustomed to slide in his youthful exuberance. To the right of this stair is where we found a crumpled piece of paper, which when deciphered reads--'Gracie, l left the tfamels in the locker,-jieanf This proves what strange pets the children had, but the animals referred to must have been considerably smaller than their present day descendants to tit in these steel boxes. ln front of you, there is an ancient board upon which we found various signs tacked. These have of course been removed for better preservation. One of the most interesting was that which stated in flagrant lettering, 'Let's take the Tobacco Cityf This was the last bit of evidence necessary to prove that these schools actually engaged armies in battle. This military training seemed to be a definite part of their instruction. But we must hurry on before darkness closes in upon us. To the left is the old trophy case where the spoils of the battles were kept. Ou the right is an anti- quated bench, an early form of our modern chair. To the left is the room called tofficef in which all culprits were sentenced. To the right are some carvings which seem to read H. H. R. lllll the left is an aged scroll with the names of several scholars on it. The only legible ones in the various groups seemed to be Whitefield. indicating that generation after generation of that clan must have frequented these hallsfl And so on until he led us to the door on the left and we proceeded toward the city on the right where he directed us to a hotel on the left so that we might have rooms for the night. -ANONYMOUS Page Sixteen
