the other scattered sand, which the
young man assiduously swept up.
The second circle showed that the
portion of the buffers of the class was
to darn stockings. THE buffers were
Edna Ford, Blanche Rippon and Ing
wald Flaa, and their tribulations while
on earth We're faithfully related by
Roy Grieve.
The Judge of the third circle, Ruby
Brown, told of the iniquities of the band
over which she kept watch and ward. 1t
appeared that Roy Dickens had been
doomed for having written an epic of
%, 600 lines on How to Get Teacher s
Certificate" while Louis Delano served
time for the generous use of racetrack
dialect. Geraldine Delano had fallen
because, among other things, she per-
sisted in saying, in answer to question
of import, Nit The portions of the
band were to forever read Paradise
Lost"
Jessie Judd, Frank Westlake and Her
man Jones were doomed to experiment
in specific heat because they had been
teachers pets,' and their woes were
well told by Gertrude Wiseman. They
were relegated to the fourth degree of
punishment, and their woes We're many
and varied. Westlake had, while on
earth, played the part of Reau Brum-
nell, and successfully broke the hearts of
| the teachers at Hangtown Crossing. Sol
omon in his glory was not a circum-
stance to him, and the imps in Inferno
stood amazed and confounded when
they surveyed his wardrobe. Jones was
said to have been noted as an astrono-
mer until his head became turned while
following the lunar transit of Venus.
Miss Judd had been noted on earth for
her charming smile, and in Hades that
Bright Smile Haunts Her Still"
Circle five was represented by the
"punctual ones" who, if the chronicles
of the Judge Percy Webber) were to
be relied on, were anything but pune
tual. They were Nettie Scott and Lita
Ross, and put in their time winding
| clocks. The Judge seriously informed
the visitor that Drury Butler, who had
never had been known to be punctual,
would be in hades in a short time and
would also be given a clock to wind.
The sixth scene represented first in
department" and each one of the
band were making good licks at reap
| ing wild oats" with heavy scythes.
They were Edna Mckee, Della Harris
and Harry Litzberg, and according to
the Judge, Maud Boyne, their deport-
ment markings had not been of high
order
In the seventh circle, Melinda Wise,
Adele Henley, Mamie Wahlander and
Grace Brockbank represented 1.-The gig
glers," and Elizabeth Ledgett recited
the story of their woes. They were
doomed to eternally read Puck"
The Il Cant's" were represented by
Roy Brooke Annie Jennings and Mar
garet Mathews, and the task assigned
them was to demonstrate the solution
of the nine-point circle. John Gustaf-
son recited their deeds and misdeeds,
showing that Miss Jennings finally be-
came, among other things, a book
agent, and how Brooke, who in school
was a holy terror" became an Arctic
explorer and took all of himself into
an EsquimauX house except his feet,
which could be neither coaXed nor
forced to enter and hibernate.
The ninth circle was represented by
the Digs" who were noted for never
turning their knowledge to account.
They were ]. w. S. Butler, Naomi
Canon, Minnie Bannon and Alice Vein
stock, and they were engaged in "hoe-
ing to no advantage, as they were al
legged to have done in their high school
days.
The last circle of all brought the
arrival (Which had previously been
prophesied) of Drury Butler, who came
late as usual" He was chockful of ad-
viz fn, old
come the latter's foreman for a stipu-
lated salary. He assured a great saw
ing of birthstone and recommended
several radical changes, but was in the
end hustled off to join the "punctual
ones''
Then the class lined up and rendered
a glee with good effect the curtain
went down on the '97 yell, and the
entertainment was over.
