RED FIRE GALORE
Seniors and JUNIORS
at Academy
a Celebrate.
LOWER CLASSES LOOKING UP.
Professors Homes Visited
and Principal Abercrom-
bic Makes a Speech.

The seniors and members of the jul
nior class at Worcester Academy firm
ly tied the knot that has bound them
firmly since the beginning of the year
in friendship, by secretly arranging
celebration for last evening.
Members of the two classes had APP
propriated their spending money for
the general fund, and when 60 stud
ents assembled on the campus after
the address and reception last evening,
they were the only ones that had in
timation of the program.
A drum corps of 10 pieces headed the
procession, and before the demonstra-
ton begun trail of red fire was laid
) from Walker to Dexter hall. AT the
fiaring of the creeping blaze OF red,
rockets were exploded in the air. and
cannon crackers banged necessarily.
The din of the drum corps and cheer
ing aroused members of the lower
classes, and they made a desperate at
tempt to get in line, but they were
rushed off the campus into the dor
mitores.
The students taking part in the dem
onstration marched under the leader
ship of President A. k. CampDeI OF
the senior class, and President Robert
B. Norris of the juniors. The home of
every professor was visited. and to
temporarily quell the din, speeches were
given Principal D. w. Abercrombie
spoke from the verandah of his house,
and said that the feeling between the
upper classes was such as to cause I'M
ending friendship between the members.
Three cheers were given for Principal
Abercrombie, and the juniors raised
three more for the senior class.
One hundred rockets were fired from
the campus, and red fire made a
brighter light than the biggest bonfire
in years. The members of the lower
classes were unable to join in the cele-
bration, guards being stationed at the
dormitory entrances. One gallant eff
fort was made by a dozen members of
the sophomore and freshman classes to
join in the procession around the
campus. The lower classmen had
reached the campus by attracting the
attention of guards to the further end
of the dormitory, but were soon recog-
nized and ordered back. They made
but a slight attempt to force them
selves in the midst of the celebration,
and when the upper classmen
charged they fed to the dormitory
and watched from the windows.
Those who assisted the class presid-
ents in the celebration were: c. H.
Harris, 90; w NJ. White, SO; C. V.
Dean, 90; w. H. Cassils, '99.
