592939 gxseell I U , FAIR IS FOUL AND FOUL IS FAIRQ I-IOVER IN TI-IE. FOG AND FILTI-IY AIR ON HALLOWEEN Tonight when, in the high tower of the main building, the clock, with her black hands vainly attempting to hide her ghastly illuminted face, doles out the witching hour of twelve, goblins will rule the earth. Through the dark corridors of the Physical Education Building, skeletons with rattling bones will stalk about, and try the knobs of doors the campus folk have touched. Along the murky waters of the Sheyenne, phantom forms will glide and hide beneath the crags. Lizards and toads and all manner of ugly creeping things will come forth and fill the road. From the impenetrable blackness be- yond, the long and dismal echo of the hoot-owl on some dead, thick limb will F111 the air. The elms and box elder and naked ash will step apart one from another and with upward, swaying arms, will moan and writhe. With a great noise of cracking and splintering, gnarled oak trunks will untwistg the swollen veins of the hackberry will thicken yet more and burst: the sharp spines and thorns of the haw will lengthen and stab to pain and death any who essay to cross their path. 1 Like sad, white tombstones, the great slabs of sidewalk on the campus will rise and stand motionless on end. The hill, so many centuries lain pros- trate, will raise his head and tower over Fifth Avenue. The tenacious tendrils of the vine on the Main Building will loose their hold, and, serpent-like, the vine will creep through the grass beneath, who will shudder with horror, will drop and kill the cringing thing beneath their feet. And all the while, the cold, cold stars above will glitter, unaffrightecl and undistracted. 1493139 ggnqeeu 100
