High School Seniors and Juniors
Get Together Last Night.
LATTER THE AGGREsS0RS.
Tried TO Break Up the AFFAIR by Kid
mapping ibc Leaders, butit
Didp't WORK.

The annual banquet OF the senior
class OF the High school was held last
night in the Commercial club rooms,
but not until after a score Of meddle-
some juniors had had their ling. As
symbols Of class spirit one senior is
carrying a sable hued lump over one Of
his eyes, a junior has face that Is cut
up some and patches viii have to be in
corporated into several pairs Of trou-
sers before they win be III to be worn,
1t happened In this way.
When a few Of the common herd were
passing the Commercial club last night
and saw senior plnloned by bunch
OF Wild juniors, who were spirlting him
away, and all of them yelling like Com
manche Indians, not having the class
spirit" on them they did not UNDER
stand, and suspectlng there was going
10 be an execution, they sent In an
alarm for an officer. The sturdy arm
of the law arrived on the scene eventu-
ally but he took In the situation ut
once Perhaps he had been junior or
senior once himself, for he seemed TO
understand that nothing but fun can
come out OF "class spirit" and IL was
far from him TO disturb It's playful am
ties.
The Juniors repaired stealthIly TO the
vicinity OF the banquet hall with the In
teption OF kidnapping the presi-
dent OF the seniors, VIII Davis,
But the upper class forestalled them.
Davis had been concealed In the ban
quet hall all the afternoon and was out
Of harms way 80 long as he remained
inside The juniors felt somewhat dis
honored al being thus frustrated and
resolved to retrieve themselves by SELF
Ing every senior who attempted to enter
the hall. While they We're lying In wait
bunch OF seniors drove out to the
home OF Ralph Neden, the juniors
president. called him to the door,
snatched him away IN a trice, then
drove him on In hack Ralph's father
tried to rescue him, but there Is no pa
ternal law that class spirit Is bound
10 respect. The Juniors however, res-
cued their president at the door OF the
Commercial club In scrimmage that
looked like riot
After the rescue had been effected the
Juniors awaited their opportunity for
revenge. II came IN the person Of Lee
Turner, who was approaching the feast
with his mind illuminated with visions
OF pretty senior girls and pate des
Foies gras, when he was rudely awak-
ened from his reverle by q dozen or so
hands that held him fast. He was
carried TO the basement OF the Atlas
block and here is where the juniors
showed their inferloity. While they
may have developed as much capacity
for ''class spirit as the seniors, they
were still as green as sophomores-they
made Turner sing MARY had a little
lamb several times, and then they
turned him loose.
a few minutes later Lee Farchlld
Sherman approached the hall In car
riage, but he Immediately perceived
that something was doing" 20 he
drove back up town and secured the
protecting arm OF policeman, and en-
tered the banquet hall In triumph,
This practically ended the efforts Of
the juniors to break up the banquet
and from then on the affair proceeded
smoothly enough. The table was decor
ated with flowers and class colors.
