The sophomore class marched onto
the campus shortly-before the hour for
morning chapel at 8:10 wearing plug
bats and carrying canes.
'l‘he fieshmen' had been marahaied by
the ionic) class near the latter s fence
and the appearance of the sophomores
was the signal for a pitched snow ball
contest. The contestants adjourned to
attend chapel exercises. but as soon as
these were over the battle was renewed
with fresh vigor. The sopbs at their

of juniors which were still smarting

The lighting soon came to close quar.

of snowballs as weapons. The sush-

managed to defend their fence success-

to the lighting qualities of then adver-
