Members of 1904 Glass at Mount Vernon
High School Are Dueked

Fifteen members Of this years graduating class
Of the Mount Vernon High School were kidnapped
on Tuesday night after the commencement exer-
cises by a band OF hazers composed of former
graduates. Taken the woods in Pelham they
were tied TO trees and afterward ducked in pond.
Some OF the graduates did not get back to Mount
Vernon until daylight.
Before the exercises began the police heard a
rumor that the new graduates were TO be hazed,
and Chief Foley stationed eight patrolmen around
the Fffth-ave. school building.
Despite this precautior. fifteen Of the boys were
captured when they came out and placed trolley
cars bound for New Rochelle and Pelham. Chief
Foley and a patrol wagon dashed down the street
after the car, yelling to the kdnappers stop. but
attention paid to them. The conductors
and motormen previously had been cautioned

and cars carrying the graduates raced down the
street they were cheered by crowds on their way
home from the commencement exercises. The race
ended at the city line The cars beat the patrol
wagon to the line. and Chief Foley knowing that
he had no authority TO enter Pelham, returned.
