So far no definite action has been taken but the fact road is to be built through Bellefonte, the Diamond and a portion of Allegheny street paved with brick and it is naturally desired that this work also be com, before an Old Home week is held. the WATCHMAN will champion the hold- ing of such a celebration at the earliest possible date, which will probably be . | modeled and put in up-to-date condition through the building from the first floor | to the hall on the third floor, and all were | much surprised to find what a pleasant | and comfortable home the Elks have | made for themselves.

STUDENTS IN FLAG Scrap.—Early last Friday morning the annual flag scrap be- | tween the Sophomores and Freshmen | took place at State College and it was one of the fiercest in years. The Sophs im- | ported several barrels of graphite and stripping themselves to the waistline ! smeared their bodies and arms with the grease with the result that they were like eels in the hands of the lower classmen. For two hours the battle waged each side surging around the pole but in the end the Sophomores were victorious. A number of the Freshmen were not present at the scrap, among them being Edmund Joseph, of this place, who came home the night before, and to get even with them the members of their own class rounded up ten of them the next night and gave them a good hazing. The boys were stripped and instead of a coat of tar and feathers molasses was applied instead of tar. By the time they reached young Joseph they had run out of molasses so they gave him a coat of mud then threw him in the duck pond.
