V The Frolic On the evening of February 28 an obviously elated herd of the residents of Fort Lee, Palisade, Coytesville, and outlying districts, on foot and riding, surged in the general direction of Fort Lee High. Being of an inquisitive nature, I went where the crowd was milling. n I entered the high-ceiled, imposing gym, and inquired of a by- stander what was to happen. He told me to stand by and Watch. Presently a group of fair feminine ball throwers trotted out on the floor, and started passing practice. These, myinformer told me, were the Senior girls. A few minutes elapsed and I was startled by a roar of rib-cracking laughter. I turned to observe the cause, and immediately added my shouts to the already vibrating roar. There before me, was a grouppof masculine figures varying in size and brawn arrayed in a very charming ensembletlof ,gym bloomers and white middies. I was informed that the broad-shouldered Apollo was Mr. Spenceg that the two mustachioed gentlemen were Messrs. Strong and Prallg that the tall smiling lad was Mr. Briden- bergg that the s'im blonde one was Mr. lfVhittemore, and so on down the line-up, until I could identify every male faculty member. 72
