Show i\iCr^-sHauling Water for the Whitewashtures which elevate Monday, April 14, to supremacy in the history of our annual celebrations. 1. he immense improvement was due primarily to a thorough systematization of the work. So well had Gardner, Gardner, Romney, Mar-getts, Barker, et al., co-operated that though the water for whitewash, hauled to the "U" one day early, was vandalously tapped overnight, permitting the precious fluid to run waste, the customary delay was avoided by transporting a fresh supply in record time. While many "studes" took time to indulge in diverting frolics and skirmishes------ tearing off white collars, ripping objectionable trousers, and throwing dripping lime buckets------yet the whitewashing was completed earlier than ever before.Again, unforseen difficulties------ the withdrawal of permission to usethe Fort pond and the unfortunate draining of Mt. Olivet Lake------ threatened to eliminate the innovation of the day, an Underclass tug of war and public ducking. Resourcefulness and co-operation again provided a substitute. The opening of a large water pipe on the Athletic field formed a strong gusher, directly over which, and the swampy ground and pool soon formed around it, the Freshies and Sophs stretched a thick rope and contested in strenuous tug of war. Through slime and mud and water the well trained Sophs dragged the boastful novices, who splashed and gasped and gurgled in a frenzy of poorly organized resistance.Jubilant over the fitting issue of the combat, and hungry as mosquitoes in August the joyous horde rampaged into the Gym, appropriated seats at the mammoth, block "U" feed rink, and began to assimilate delicious nourishment. Here plain words become futile, the polysyllable vapid, figurative speech barren.
