STOLE SENIORS GOWNS
Friends University Juniors Wor
Them to Chapel Friday Morning.

| Last Tuesday morning the members Of
the senior class of the Friends university
adopted cap and gowns and wore them
to chapel that morning. but yesterday
morning the members Of the junior class
wore the same caps and gowns.
The seniors when they received the
gowns decided to wear them every day
for the first week.
The members of the junior class i'm
mediately began plotting to obtain pos
session of the outfits and wear them
themselves.
Thursday evening a number OF the
members of the junior class met and de-
cided on a plan. They found that most
of the caps and gowns were kept in
homes or rooms near the university.
Three of the members of the class then
proceeded to the home OF Miss Murden
Martindale and slipping into the house
found the goods hanging in the hail. The
juniors took two gowns and four caps
away with them.
The room of Ben Huesdale in the north
hall was the next object of their search
and they found that very studious young
man hard at work on his Fridays les
sons. One of the boys slipped into the
room and held his hands over Mr.. Tues
dale's eyes, while another young man
slipped the two gowns from the wall and
the whole crowd disappeared.
The home OF Miss LeOna LOngstreth
was next visited and one outfit was
found there.
When they got back to the university
building and had taken an inventory Of
their booty they found they had stolen
five gowns and seven hats as a result Of
their depredations and amateur burglary.
While dancing around in one of the
rooms Of the building TO celebrate their
victory one of the lads kicked over a
box and out rolled another cap and gown.
Then they gave their class ven a few
times and danced their war dances until
they were out OF wind. All but one full
outfit and two gowns had been secured
and the members who had planned and
carried out the burglary so successfully.
Friday morning came and Of course
this of all days was the one they wanted
to wear their caps and gowns, but they
were doomed to sad disappointment.
When the seniors found that their caps
and gowns were missing, they went I'M
mediately to the university. where they
soon found their comrades in sorrow and
excitedly discussed the situation. Some
were IN favor Of sending for a police
man to ferret out the mystery. None
knew whence their new outfits. the in
sigma of much knowledge. had flown No
one had given the least idea of plot
and they were at a loss TO know who had
been so evil-minded as 10 deliberately
steal their beautiful adornments.

First PreSbyterians viii Vote
on Building Proposition.
MEMS CLUB PETITIONS
Edi7ce to Have Three Depart
mentS---CapaCity 100.
MEMS CLUB PETITIONS

The Mems Christian club of the First
Presbyterian church. has petitioned the
membership of the latter organization to
authorize the appointment of a commit
tee to adopt plans for new church, and
the congregation will vote on the propo-
sition at an adjourned meeting to be held
on Thursday. April Il. The cost Of the
church. as provided in the motion, is to
be from $4,000 to 100000.
The petition was presented to the an
nuaI congregational meeting held last
Thursday night. If the motion is adopt
cd and the plans for the new church are
made in accordance with II, they win
embrace the following features:
y church club house with suitable
apartments for the work of the Mems
Christian club, containing also a ladies'
parlor, a dining room, a kitchen, lunch
counter, a check room. a library and
reading room, committee and session
rooms, all to be available for the socie-
ties of the church, both those of men
and women, along business, Intellectual,
social, and recreative lines.
Sunday school house for the accom-
moda ton of the Sunday school depart
ments. primary, intermediate, and adult,
with suitable class and assembly rooms
capable OF accommodating I,vuJ pupils
A church auditorium capable of seating
at least 1900 people. the motion also
provides that the buildings shall be
erected on the church lots at the corner
of Lawrence avenue and First street, and
that when completed they shall form
one large building.
The Mems Club. which introduced the
petition, has a membership Of about
forty. The membership of the church is
over 1909 which is about 300 more than
the seating capacity OF the church. For
some time the members OF the congrega-
ton have been discussing the advisability
of erecting a new church. as they feel
that the present church IS not suitable
to their needs. Rev. c. Z. Rradt, pastor
of the church. now has in his possession
plans for new ediice. but these have
not yet been adopted. The church is en-
tirely free from debt and can raise the
money for new edifice among its own
members
The property at Lawrence avenue and
First street has a frontage Of 125 feet on
Lawrence avenue and Il frontage of 40
feet on First street

then 10 their seats on the south Of the
stage. All this time there was great
cheering by the other members OF the
school. Some OF the seniors had taken
their seats in the chapel and were com
PEELED 20 watch their schoolmates walk
around them wearing their caps and
gowns. This was almost moro than they
could bear. but circumstances prevented
them trying 20 take the gowns away
from the juniors.
The juniors wore the outfits all through
chapel. and when the exercises were over
calmly walked over 10 the seniors side
Of the house and handed them the caps
and gowns. Some OF the seniors were

Thus 1t went until chapel time. 10
o'clock when as soon as the classes were
dismissed every junior disappeared.
Now there are nine seniors and twelve
Juniors and besides not all the para
phanalia had been secured so the mem
bers divided UP. some wore gowns and
some caps. while one did not care to take
hand IN the affair at all. Three of the
juniors had complete outfits. When
chapel was called the twelve juniors
suddenly appeared at a side door and
formed into line ct the back Of the chapel
and then they marched single file TO the
north aisle of the hall and then 10 the
front Up on the stage the leader led hts
flock and as they passed each member Of
the faculty each junior made a respect
full bow. Across the stage they went and
