 Junior jealousy uncontrollable “A few weeks ago, in accordance with the custom, Ihc boys of the senior class purchased class caps, made of royal purple, with cream letters worked on them. In the judgment of the Se- niors they were most beautiful, but the admiration of the Ju- nior» knew no bounds, and finally, as extreme covetousness often does, it changed from simple admiration to a jealousy which was far past that noble power of control. As a result of the fit of pansion. the Juniors, unable to control themsdves any longer resorted to a means which, although extremely dishonor able, was nevertheless effective. They actually took these caps. This little act could easily have been forgiven had they been children of 5 or 6 years of age. but to think of Juniors doing such a contemptible tnck ii almost out of the question. “In order that the public may not form an entirely wrong opinion of our underclassmen, wc wish to say that the Senior Class does not think that these Juniors realized what they were doing. You see. with the exception of a couple, they arc com- paratively young and older people can often exert a strong in- fluence upon youth and bend them to their will. “No effort was made to recover the caps since it was much easier to order new ones, and in a short time the Seniors were again the proud possessor of new caps, which they valued more because they knew how much they were adored and envied by the Juniors. if.
