Pranks

hasn’t been so high since.
The legendary mule, “Coalie,"
was often the target for prank
sters. He ended up on the roof
more than once. He wasn't the
only mule that made the trip
to the upper floors, but he was
probably the only one in cap
tivity with green stripes paint
ed all over him.
Students evidently got tired
of hearing the bell atop Old
Main ring each morning, so a
few of the boys got together
and inverted the huge bell,
filling it with water.
Halloween brought even more
pranks to light. People living
in the thriving town of Farm
ers High School had to batten
down everything capable ofbe
ing carried off. They would
awake to find sidewalks, pig
siys, chicken coops and fences
missing. Townspeople didn't
have far to go to find their
missing property. The stuff us
ually could be found on the
roof of Old Main.
Actually, officials of the
town didn’t complain too much.
This was a good way of clean
ing up the town.
You can’t really blame the
students for the pranks. After
all, the College outlawed card
playing and drinking. Besides
that, the coed-to-man ratio was
a little out of proportion. The
first coed wasn’t admitted until
1871-. And it was a long cold
ride to Bellefonte.
