We supposed the days of foolish haz'
ing BY high school students OF our vii
, lage were over, but 1t seems We are mis-
taken. Some of the acts which they
have recently subjected some OF the first
year men to deserve the strongest con-
: demnation. These affairs do not take
place at the school building, for 1t is we'll
$ known that they would be stopped there
2 In short order, but our streets and the
/ park are the favorite places for the gath
/ erings, which are usually held under
r cover of the dark in the evenings. The
' stunts nearly all originate in the fertile
I brain Of one ring leader and there are
}. few in the school who know no better
0 than 10 follow bis lead. 1t might not be
!. bad plan to have q night watchman for
a a while and If the acts, which are more
+ like the work of young hoodlums than
/. like those of young men, are not
!. stopped, have him take steps in forci'
b BILE way that will bring some OF these
l. smart ones back to their senses.
The great social event of the season,
