The Freshman Banquet.
The scene of the Freshman Ban
quet last Thursday evening was the
Park Hotel at Williamsport. About
three hundred freshmen were pres
ent and this annual affair was de
clared a great success by 1911.
' Early in the week, the suspicions
of the sophomores were aroused by
the departure of a number of prom
inent freshmen and things imme
diately grew interesting among the
underclassmen. The "sophs." kept
a constant watch and made several
desperate attempts to capture Presi
dents Barnett, who had taken sud
den leave, but were ur successful.
All the speakers made goon their
escape to Williamsport in the early
part of the week,and their remained
in hiding until the class arrived on
Tuesday evening.
The plan adopted by the entire
class for reaching the oanquet was
much Similar to that used last year.
A special train composed of box
cars was stationed on the belle
fonte Central about a mile from the
college at the appointed hour 7 p.
m. Long before that time, fresh
men in bunches of twos and threes
made their way to the train and the
Sophomores did not realize that the
banquet was on until the majority of
the freshmen had reached the train.
The small nu - nber of ''sophs." who
were on hand put up a good scrap
in spite of tne fact that they were
out greatly numbered but the) were
not successful in preventing the
fresnmen from making an effective
escape. About thirty sophomores
went to Williamsport the next day,
but nothing of real consequence oc
curred.
