T ank Rush the Seniors in that annual classic, the Tank Rush. This event is held to determine whether or not the Seniors shall have the moral right to force the Frosh to obey the traditions of the school. 3 T THE BEGINNING of every school year, the new Freshmen meet Late in the afternoon on August 18, 1921, the Freshmen met in front of the North Dorm. A11 wore their far-famed itbibs , and all had their faces blackened. At the stroke of five, the ensemble moved in a body to the tank and formed a line opposite that of the Seniors. htof. Beckett, as official referee, signaled the beginning of the melee. Twenty minutes later all the Frosh were on the opposite side of the tank dripping, while all but a very few of the Seniors were quite dry. Many thrills were furnished by ttBigi, Santous and his gang of Seniors in revenging the dousing of Al Reynolds, who happened to be the first Senior to receive a wetting. One Senior, Dave Wormley, was unfortunate enough to fall in while the tank was crowded, and in the wild struggle, the Frosh trod him under foot, and he had such a hard time that in order to save him, a number of his comrades were forced to rescue him. The Seniors gained the Victory, but it was only by stepping on the Freshmens ears with their hob-nailed boots, and then biting their necks or else pulling their arms, or any other method that would reduce them to insensibility, and tossing the inert bodies in the pool. The life saving crew was successful in its efforts to save all devotees of the 10y waters, so 110 casualties occurred. As the Frosh would hit the water there would be a stalwart swimmer 011 either side of him to enable 111111 to reach the opposite bank. Although Doc Bates searched the ground and tank very carefully, he was unable to find any track of stray arms, 'eyes or legs, so the battle was successfully closed. 108

7, a ,,,,A, .,.. ., . , ,,,., , i ,.,T.r..7 ----w:7;mwm w Feotball Rally September 1 THE PURPOSE Of this rally was to inspire some jazz and pep in the school along the line of football. Music, boxing bouts, wrestling matches and some excellent addresses filled the time that was not taken up with the b00- ing of tiBossie Cow Cow? Bill De Lapp, our handsome yell leader, acted as Chairman for the occa- sion, and kept things moving. He aroused pep in the meeting by leading a few yells, and then he introduced Acting Dean Thomas Tavernitti, whose popular- ity was evinced by a storm of applause. The U. C. Orchestra made its first appearance for the year with the strains of the latest popular songs, after which the events of the evening were staged. Due to the successful efforts of Her- bie Spilman, the bouts and matches were immensely enjoyed. The best bout of the lot was that between Bogart and Kid Temple. The results were quite gratifying to the blood-hungry mob. The main event was the playful little paper-weight tussle between Tiny Tut- tle and Babe Cochrane. It bid fair to stand as a classic in the art of wrestling, and the knightly-like conduct of the Vic- torious Cochrane won the hearts of the motley throng. Prof. Sam Beckett gave the word that the Faculty was behind the athletic ac- tivities of the school. After a few brief remarks from Vic. Laney, Football Manager, and Captain Carter the rally closed with the singing of ttAll Hail . Bleacher Rally September 16 Dan Carey brought a ton of his famous watermelons t0 the athletic field to make investigations as to the number of melons a good, healthy Farm School man could inhale, and to generate more pep and enthusiasm for student affairs. mmmu:LIuIIIIIIIIe!tImm1:iiIIrIImmmnlmwm:m:nm:mmumumar:w i It didlff take long for pep to arise, for De LAPP ARANT tiLET'S GO WITH A BIG BOSSY 109
