was an instance where a draw YER

Sheehan had previously out

was SO slow that he allowed Buck

THE SENIOR
CURLING PARTY

a Junior gives the following &C
count
The Senior Curling Party was
planned for the Thursday afternoon
that we gave our play to the chill
dren.
The Seniors were rather clever in
skipping while we gave the play, but
two Of the Junior boys especially we'll
known 10 the Seniors, went to Mad
ison on the same car. Although the
Seniors mobbed them, Lawrence
Drouin managed to escape and
phoned us concerning the Seniors
whereabouts.
In the meantime and in between
time Teddy Bouford challenged any
Senior to- fight. Crocker responded
only when the train was drawing out.
Therefore he was drawn out and both
! boys were detained by the sheriff.
Three Seniors, noble men, withdrew
from the train at Arson and returned
to Madison to plead Crocker's cause.
The sheriff, an honorable man, gave
Crocker and his cronies a fifteen min
utes start over Bouford, so that the
Seniors would be sure to escape. The
three Seniors and the recently liber-
ated prisoner, hired an old nag. to
take them to Bingham, at which des-
tination they arrived about ten p. NJ.
In the meantime and in between
time in dear old Skowhegan, we re-
vived tractor and secured n sled,
and with Miss Hall and Mr.. Hight as
chaperons, we started for Bingham,
very much bundled up. AS robes were
plentiful, cold feet were lacking. Aft
or some difficulty with blinking bug
light, which falling stars refused to
cure. we arrived in Bingham. We
then marched bravcly forward to the
bingham hotel where we knew the
Seniors We're, because of the careful
watching of friends and class mates.
We stormed the hotel at one-thirty.
The proprietor, Mr.. Dutton, gave the
girls dressing room and told them
they could have breakfast at six
o'clock. The boys surrounded the
hotel and found the Seniors in a
down stairs room, having a banquet
and an hilarious time. The night
Waterman, who, we must admit was
Il harmless looking specimen, was on
duty But no chances should be
taken with the law. Thus we did not
interfere with the Seniors.
We hired q hall where we had n
party of our own. Some of the boys
remained at the hotel to guard the
| Seniors. The only accident that hap
pened, was, that a member of the
Junior Glass was hit over the head
and became unconscious for a short
time, but has now regained his beau
. ty and health.
AT six o'clock we went to Hume
wells restaurant where we had
breakfast. We then went to the sta
ton where we found the Seniors.
We Immediately took possession of
the train. The cop let the Seniors
out of the station ten at time. They
| then came into our car. We arrived
in Skowhegan about two minutes
after the Seniors had landed. The
| Juniors gave their class cheers and
marched over to school, jubilant and
| victorious.
! And in the meantime and in be-
| tween time didn't we have fun.
