The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1918-04-09

newspaper accounts of the banquet with
Sabrina came to their attention.
A special train brought the class |
here about 10 O'Clock. doc" Stone, |
now dean of Columbia law school, and
Ben Hyde, the member who fed TO
Europe, now q prominent Boston law
yer, and L. b. Smith of Brattleboro
were among those who made the ar
rangements. Mr.. Smith let the late f.
w Harlow, who was manager of the
Grange store, into the secret, and
Sabrina was shipped here amongst some
groceries and placed in the Grange store
sub-cellar until time for the banquet
in the Brooks House, when she was
taken up the hack stairs 70 the dining
room.
Mr. Smith had arranged with the late
Lewis Higgins, liveryman, for team,
Mr.. Higgins being instructed to ask
mo questions as to, destination. After
the Ia aquet and in, accordance with
pre-arranged plans Sabrina was loaded
into wagon and driven to Hermon
G. Harvey's barn in Chesterfield, n. H.,
and placed in. hole in the ground,
which Mr.. Harvey had dug under his
barn floor. The hole was not large
enough to receive the box in which
Sabrina was packed, SO she was re-
moved from the box and put in on the
cold ground The box was returned to
the wagon and when the Connecticut
river was reached on the return trip
tho box was thrown into the river. The
men arrived back here at daybreak, in
time to board the special back to Am
herst for breakfast.
| Sabrina remained in hiding in Ches-
| terrified until the next Thanksgiving,
eluding all efforts TO locate her. She
was then shipped from Hinsdale, n. H.,
and since then her wanderings have
covered wide territory, but she has
remained in the custody of the even
year classes and has had place of
honor at most of their banquets, sever
al of which have been held in New
York city.
Concerning Sabrina 5 visit to AM
herst Yesterday the Springfield Repub-
lican of today says:
1.-THE plans for her Amherst visit
were carefully laid. At the conclusion
of the chapel service, the odd class
men were asked to remain in order
that NJ. p. Sharp, rs, of Madison,
Wis, acting president of Scarab, could
read to them certain resolutions regard
ing college customs which were recent
ly passed by the senior honorary So
ciety. The even classmen were hur-
ried out of chapel by strong arm
squads, and the doors locked. When
two shots were fired, the ear contain
ing the coveted lady rolled out in baek
of the chapel from behind Appleton
cabinet, where she was preparing for
the public ordeal during the chapel
service
1.-THE even elassmen immediatedv
started the Sabrina song, which at.
tracted the juniors and freshmen to
the chapel windows, where they could
view the spectacle, and hurl various
missiles and vituperative epithets at
the bronze lady which they so much
+ desired to capture. Some freshmen
managed to break down one of the
doors inside the chapel and Started t.
