JUST HOW IT HAPPENED
Friday afternoon, March 13, a small
group of Sophomores assembled dur
ing drill in one of the rooms of
Mitchell Hall for a consultation as to
what measures were to be taken in
.regard to the Junior banquet. After
some discussion, it was decided that
the toastmaster and others that were
to take part in the program should
not be allowed to run at large. When
To get the effect desired, place piece
of paper on line, viewing only
one side of face at
a time.
this decision was reached the little
gathering dispersed and began to look
for information which was to be re
ported to Austin Hall later.
Scouts noticed that the “Bat Roost”
had a magnetism about it; for Junior
eyes were attracted that way, and
occasionally a Junior would leave or
enter the building. This caused the
suspicion that a treasure might be
hidden there and an invasion was
made, the right door was opened,
Runt was found, and captured. To
be sure there was a scrap and a
plucky one, too, but what could it
accomplish against such odds in
strength and number. “Runt” was
tied and gagged in order that he
might be the least possible trouble,
for he did not seem to appreciate the
way he was being handled, and would
not stop kicking and fighting.
He was picked up, carried through
Miler Hall, down by the steam plant,
and then loaded on a push cart and
hauled as far as the little red barn
on the hill. The cart was then aban
doned and “Runt” then became a bur
den, for he wak to be carried. He
refused to walk a step, but after he
had been carried about five or six
miles into the swamps he was set
down and told to walk or stay there,
and he chose walking. He was then
tied to one of his captors and the
march was continued.
While this was in progress two
more parties were busy. One went
for Stoner, but he proved too fleet for
his pursuers and escaped. The other
party confiscated Crocker and started
him for the §ilo. On the way Crocker
saw the “Bull” coming from target
practice and he made an attempt to
call for help, but a handkerchief
quieted him.
Drill was over now and the air
seemed to be filled with unrest. Some
of the Juniors formed a skirmish line
about a mile long and started out by
the little red barn in search of their
missing men, while others collected
in small bunches for self-protection;
but as Moffett was not too well guard
ed the Sophomores started out with
him. Juniors and Sophomores flock
ed to the scene and a general fight
started, but the O. D. arrived and
peace was restored.
The skirmishers continued their
search till late, when they found our
little band with “Runt,” and the
captors turned captive, but they had
been merciful and “Runt” took their
part and they missed what they ex
pected to receive. Crocker was found
and shortly after dark the Juniors
came pouring in from all directions
with their strayed and stolen. It was
all over then, the toastmaster had
been recaptured and the Sophomores
left the Juniors to eat in peace.
Though the Juniors did not publish
the fact, it was agreed that they
would not remove the toastmaster
from the barracks, and we feel that,
they played the part of sportsmen:
with us in every respect.
Prof. Kazmier (in poultry hus-
bandy class)—If two fingers can be
placed between the pelvic bones of a
hen she is a laying hen.
“Fish” Brooks (with the dignity of
a judge)—If only one finger can be
placed between the pelvic bones, is
that a sign of a rooster?
