SHIRT PARADE
BY The CADETS
FIRE WORKS AND ENTHUSIASM
RULE AFTER DARK SAT-
URDAY.

G. M. A. cadets made the welkin
ring Saturday night when thew
marched through the streets with
their night shirt parade. The cadets
filed into town from the school cam
pus in the middle of the pike in twos
and marched to the Columbia msti-
tute where they serenaded the young
ladies. After this they marched to
town through West Seventh street
and stopped at the crossing on Gar
den where they counted the scores
made by the two teams and from
there they formed in front of the west
door of the court house where a num-
Der of goods boxes had been collected
and a large bonfire was started. A
supply of Roman candles were secur-
ed and the cadets proceeded to cele-
brate, making the elements a blaze of
glory with the many colored lights.
A snake dance was pulled if around
the fire and the songs and yells of
the school were spealed forth.
The greatest joke of the season is
that the Branham & Hughes rooters
Drought their night shirt with them
and were prepared to pull off great
stunt in the way of shirt parade and
celebration should they win. But
their confidence was smashed in the
face. Some of the school got hold of
the fact that they had their parapher-
MALTA concealed in the rear of some
of the store buildings and got hold or
the box containing same and repaired
to the river bank where another Ion
re was pulled off.
