The Index, I 906 The Seniors Indulge in a Little Class Spirit. It happened. How it came about would be hard to explain. lVhat happened would be harder to explain. Suffice it to say a few seniors for a few minutes became totally oblivious of their proper duties, and decided that something must be doingf' No better time for so singular a declaration could be imag- ined. XVe had just witnessed one of the best basket ball games of the season,-one of the kind in which some of the spectators forget themselves and yell. Almost every one left the Gym. in a good humor, while a few stayed behind in even better spirits. A few juniors lingered to supervise arrangements for their masquerade dance. Until they were gone one would hardly have noticed a bunch of wise heads compactly put together un- der the north end of the running track. They were not the only ones present for in a few minutes all were looking in the direc- tion of one of the benches where Mr. Stewart and Mr. Vlfood- ward sat counting the coins from the admissions. The on- lookers' eyes were not glued on the coin but on the tempting bunch of keys dangling from Mr. NVoodward's pocket. They shook their heads. Too rash a scheme. Time passed quickly, still they arrived at no dehnite conclusion. The entrance of a few farmers slightly disguised by more rural apparel than usual made prompt decision necessary. So the group left the held to the juniors. Settled quietly in a dark corner outside the building, they were able to witness the panorama moving toward the Gym. Too fast it moved. Something must be done. Ch, yes! Then away to a neighboring yard. Zip! zip! and they had a fine piece of clotheslline. lf only the next junior who came might have a girl! Off goes a vest. Now they are ready. First the victim would have moonlight and starlight cut from his gaze. 28

The Index, 1906 Then Paul was to hx the clothes line carefully, just tight enough to permit him to take short steps. Somebody was to say hep! hep! all the way to the assembly hall, after someone had found a lantern to light the way. Then vve'd give the junior a rest. just tie him to a seat in the assembly room and say good bye until we return with Asa P. The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agleyf, The next couple were two gigling girls. XVould ever the right sort of couple come along? The girl might feel a little lonesome at first, but she could find her way to the Gym. and send in the alarm. Then the juniors would pour out of the hall and we'd catch a few more of them. But the couple never came. Time and tide wait for no man neither do they wait for a man and a girl. Another scheme! Wfho had one? Yes. Catch a couple of lonely juniors and march them around the back of the Gym., borrow their masquerade suits and tickets, leave -them bound hand and foot, and go to the dance. A few of the boys could get suits but the girls wouldn't consent to any such scheme. Wfhy didn't we stuff one of the girls' gymnasium suits be- tween the strings of the piano? VVhy didn't we swipe', the musicians' instruments while we tarried in the Gym.? VVhy didn't we sprinkle water on the floor? Wliy couldn't we yet? YVith the juniors there? Impossible! Get a ladder, put it in the proper place, cut the electric circuit, barricade the front door, attach a hose to the faucet in the boys' dressing room, and when the girls had the lights in the dressing room turned out for good, lift the hose up to the window, step on the running track and gently spray the dancers below. All right. Someone went for the hose. Qthers went for the ladder. The rest went to the front hall to manage the lights and barricade the door at the proper time. Hist! Someone was in the vestibule. Ah! he was lifting his mask while she lifted her face to see his. Ah, I knevv it was you. They left. A masquerader swaggering along, ac- costed them and wanted to shake hands with the girls, but they' 'Cut' ' him. He reeled into the door only to see, before him,a 30
