THE O. H. S. TIGER, JANUARY 31, 1923 Page 5 MY TRIP ABROAD (Continued from last issue) The palace buildings stood eastward of the Bloody Tower. The scenery of the walls made it invenient as a state pricon, the first noun prisoner being Ralph Flambard, Bishop of Durham, who had ecu active under William Rufus in ijhing the building. From that die the tower was seldom without «ie captive, English or foreign, of ink and importance, jfcimrging from the Mark Lane flway station we obtained an ex- elhi i view of the great fortress, fithin the railed space of Trinity jfiare the first permanent scaffold I Tower Hill was set up in th;e Ign of Edward III, but the first Ecution recorded here was that of I Sir Simon Burly in 1388) Here also ire beheaded among others, Dudley, ije minister of Henry VII, his son the Duke of Northumberland, his grandson, Lord Giuldford Dudley, Cromwell, Earl of Essex, More and Fisher, Surrey, and life son Norfolk, Strafford, and Archbishop Laud, and Scotch Lords in 1746, and 1747, last being Simon Lord Lovat. STlie Tower Moat, which was im- jcdiately before us, is now drained rid used as a parade ground. Beyond fas we approached the entranec we Btained a good view of its fortifica- n.. On the extreme left are the iss Mount and north Bastions. In ; middle is Legge's Mount. To the gin is the entrance gateway. The Ighest building behind is the White Ewer easily distinguished by its (fur turrets. In front of it are the Devereux, Beauchamp and Bell Tower, the residences of the Lieuten- Ht of the Tower and of the Yeoman pier being in the gabled arid red ed ! uses between .the last two. fom one of these windows, Lady Jane Grey saw her husband's head- ijs body brought in from Tower fill, by the road we walked on; and lc leads re still called Queen Elizabeth's walk, as she used them during,: e'r captivity in 1554. Passing through the Middle Tower, nd the Byward Tower we then came ) the' Bell Tower which was prob- bly planned in the reign of Richard , though its earliest details point to dale early in the thirteenth century, [ere Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, as imprisoned by Henry VII, and le Princess Elizabeth by her sister Queen Alary. The Curtain Wall east f the Tower is pierced by the win- ows of the Lieutenant's lodgings Bow called the King's House, and ne of these windows lights the ouncil chamber, where Guy Fawkes lid his fellow conspirators were tried nd condemned, 1605. The Traitor's Gate with St. Thomas' Tower in now n our right. This gate, when the hames was more of a highway than . it at present, was often used as Bin entrance to the tower. In later mes it was found convenient as a inding .place for prisoners who had ecu tried at Westminster. Here lccessively, Edward Duke of Buskingham, Sir Thomas More, Queen Anne Boleyn, Cromwell Earl of Essex, Queen Katherine Howard, Seymour Duke of Somerest, Lady Jane Grey, the Princess (afterwards Queen Elizabeth), Devereux Earl of Essex, and James Duke of Monmouth, pass¬ed under the arch on their way to >ris< in or on their way to the scaf- old. St. Thomas' Tower was built >y Henry III, and contains a small shapel or oratory, dedicated to St. Thomas of Canterbury. Opposite the Traitor's Gate is the Bloody Tower. Under this tower we entered the inner ward. It dates from the reigns of Edward III and Richard II, and was called by its present name as early as 1597, being popularly believed to be the scene of the murder of Edward V and his brother the Duke of York, as well as! Df Henry VI. It was originally known as the Garden Tower as its upper story opens on that part of the barade ground which was formerly [be Constable's Garden. Here Sir Walter Raleigh was allowed to walk duririu his long imprisonment, and ftould sometimes converse over the wall with the passers-by. A curious [jjing seen here was the groove for working the portcullis, . which was raised by ropes and a windlass, and is still to be seen on the upper floor. We passed out of the Bloody Tower to the Wakefield Tower. The work now seen points it to having been built by Henry III. The Great Hall, pemorable as the scene of Anne Boleyn's trial, adjoined it, but was bulled down during the Common¬wealth. In 1360 the'records of the Kingdom, which had previously been kept in the White Tower, were re¬moved here, and this is called in ancient surveys sometimes the Re¬cord, and sometimes the Hall Tower. The present name is brobably derived from William de Wakefield, King's Clerk, appointed to hold custody of the exchanges in the Tower in 1344. It is now used as the Jewel House for the safe keeping and exhibition of the Crown Jewels. We next, passed up a short stair, and found ourselves in a circular apartment in the Wakefield Tower. The deep window recess in the east side was fitted up as a small chapel. Tradition says that Henry VI used it for his devotions when a prisoner in the Tower and was here murdered. In the middle of the roorri, in a large double case are arranged the splendid objects which form the English Re¬galia. The most remarkable are: the Imperial State Crown wiifh four arch¬ed originally made .for Queen Vic¬toria's qoronatioa in 1838. The chief jewels were taken from older crowns and the Royal Collection. Amongst them we saw the fine ruby given to the Black Prince by Peter the Cruel after the battle of Navarette, 3rd of April, 1367. This; was worn by Henry V in the crown' encircling his helmet at the battle of Agincourt in 1415. For the corona¬tion of Mary II and William III,' this "ruby was set in the Queen's Crown of State. The crown was en-! larged and lightened in weight for the coronation of H. M. Edward VII, and then contained 2,818 dia-monds, 297 pearls and many other; jewels, the whole weighing thirty- nine ounces and five penny-weights. It Tias! lately been again somewhat improved and altered to allow the large oblong brilliant of "the Stars of Africa," weighing 309 3/16 carate, cut; from the "Cullinan" rough diamond, to be inserted in front when not worn by IT. M. the Queen. For thef new arrangement two sapphires, fifty-! six brilliants and fifty-two rose' diamonds have been added. The Imperial State Crown with eight arches worn by King George V at the Delhi Durbar contains an 'Indian emerald weighing thirtj^-four carats, sapphires and 6,170 diamonds.

I sent my boy to college With a pat upon his back; I spent ten thousand dollars And got a quarterback. No mystery is so deep as that which makes girls smile at each other. Marcus Mattson (brousing in li¬brary): "Last days of Pompeii! What did he die of?" Milt Kreines: "Oh* I don't know. Some eruption, I think." A Sponsor (on phone): "Hello, I want to order a box for tonight." "What size?" Sponsor: "There will be eight in the party." " But they only come in single sizes.' ' Sponsor: "Is this the Orpheum?" "No, it's the undertaker." A fire broke out in a deaf and dumb asylum the other day and an inmate broke three fingers yelling! fire. Miss Smith has made some New Years' Resolutions.

The party will consist only of the girls and this no doubt will cause the officers to feel slighted,. Those present will include Mrs. Capt.. Ryder, Mrs. Coolidge, Major Rich, Capt. Fisher, Capt. Walberg, Capt. Knight, Lieut. Ashton, Lieut. Booker, and Capt. Zeller. Fol¬lowing the theatre party the sponsors will have refreshments at Potter's, cafe. The girls showed such pep and spirit for the Leap Year party that the Girls' association is planning on having another party in the near future. This party however, will be strictly for the girls! It will be held in the assembly hall ancl will be a masquerade. There will be no boys to bother, as two of Ogden's best policemen will keep them out. There is such a thing as a party without boys; the girls will have the entire evening to enjoy themselves. Each class will be asked to arrange a little "stunt." So far the plans are pro¬gressing rapidly. Now that winter has come again the sponsors are to have the bob party that was planned several weeks ago. The non-coms will be invited, and including the officers the party should fill about every bob sled that can be found in Ogden. Hot dogs and coffee will be the delight of the evening and this will be served either in the canyon, or on the road to the hot springs. The officers and non-coms are to be hosts at a dancing party to be given at the Maids and Matrons, Saturday, Feb. 3. Capt Ryder is in charge of the affair and therefore the party sholud prove one or the "snap¬piest" given this year. Only mem¬bers of the R. O. T. C. are invited. The sponsors are the complimented guests of the evening and will no odubt assist the Captain in handling the crowd? On Tuesday, after school the sponsors left for the city of Davis to attend the Davis-Ogden basketball game. They spent the evening in that city and were guests at a theatre party to be given at the Orpheum theatre. Returning to Ogden, a sup¬per was given at Kerns. KEEP SCRAPPIN' V^hen you're sick as the deuce, and you think, "what's the use?" And you're tired out, discouraged, I afraid; And you keep asking why they don't let you die, And forget the mistakes you have made; When you're chuck full of pain and you're tired of the games And you want to get out of it all— That's the time to begin to stick out your chin And fight with your back to the wall! When you've done all you can to scrap like a man, But you can't keep your head up much more; And the end of the bout leaves you all down and out, Bleeding, and reeling, and sore; When you've prayed all along for the sound of the gong, To ring for the fight to stop— Just'^keep on you feet and smile at defeat; That's the real way to come out on top! When you're tired of hard knocks and you're right on the rocks and nobody lends you a hand; When none of your schemes, the best of your dreams, Turn out in the way you'd planned; And you've lost your grit and you're ready to quit For life's just a failure for you, Why, start in again and see if all men Don't call you a Man through and through!
