Early in the fall, it was discovered that the megaphones pilfered from Williams, were entirely too small. As a result, the squad devoted the first two weeks of school to painting the new six-foot mogaphones whitv. It was ingeniously suggested that a rod BWVJ, standing;r for Wesleyan, he added. and this was done.
