BLUE RIDGE STORIES (Continued from Page One) dently, neither a Ford. It was travel Ing too fast for a pedestrian. "What animal is that coming yon der?" said Wilson. "I'm not sure," said Smith, "but let's give him the road." "We won't miss," said Wilson, "you get out over there and I over here." By that time, which believe me wasn't long, the gentleman had reached the two. And do you know yet what it was? Well, I'll tell you. A big lightning bug. But it gave them a scare, nevertheless, and Wil son still declares never again to Black Mountain-on foot-ht night. A few days and nights passed, not peaceably tho by any means. Then the topic of this article. When Calhoun Thomas came in from Lee Hall lie proceeded to retire immediately. But alas, where was his sheet? He found it tied in knots and suspended from the roof of the cottage. The point is, however, that a disturbing night was to follow. Now that it's all over and we are not sleeping in the same quarters the proceedings can safely be told. Thorne Sparkman and R. M. Smith assisted by Sparkman's rival, Tom McCutchen, loosened the springs to 0. D. Johnson's cot, replaced them by a strong cord which was extended thru the window (for 0. D. was sleep ing in a room to himself so that his sweet dreamis would not be disturbed) to a portico beyond, from which place It could be reached at the crucial moment. A log of wood was quietly placed in Frank 'Meeks' bed sto that he would no longer have to sleep by himself. Gordon May's bunk was placed just outsi(le the window to enjoy a little fresh air, for ye gods it needed it. He and Meeks were room mates. Ed Smith's bunk was upset and the woek completed with the exception of removing a few burs and a few tons of granite from the beds of "Tom," Sparkman and Smith. The nightly conference of the South Carolina University delegation was held and everybody was off to lis r spective "roost." A majority, consist ing of Sparkman, Dabbs, Smith, Ul mer, Wilson, Crocker, Hanks, and .McCutchen, slept on the sleeping porch. They% went to )e(l f(o- tile time being. A surprised tone of voice emerged from the room in which Frank and Gordon were domiciled. For a few minutes it seemed that ter ror and disaster reigned therein. Out on the porch, making in vestigat,ions as to the big idea, they came. rhley Universi Styles That Ar< Correct WHETHER the de for the three-butc English collegiat< and long rolling with loose, straigi in our Collegiate lines, -authentic be< ment of that grol acknowledged as their own individ J. L. Mimn Columbi were held in suspension for a while and then let on to the joke on 0. D., who had not yet come in. This re lieved them apparently. In came 0. D. and to bed. You ask where he had been? Over at the girls' building, of course. Well, in due time the afore-mentioned arose and went around to pull the string. They pulled it and it kept coming. All the way out it came and nothing was heard inside. Upon investigation it was found that 0. D. had discovered the unkindly trick and had loosed the string and procured for himself an other abode for the night. Back to their respective quarters the two guilty and disappointed ones went. Bang! went a pillow, for Mc Dabbs was getting sleepy and had al ready tired of so much kid work. It struck Hanks and knocked him out of his slumber and almost out of his bunk. After he finally awoke John Erskine passed it with no small acceleration across to Frank. Ulmer passed it to Lee Crocker. From him it went back to Dabbs and then to Thomas. Tommie, in his hurry to get the pillow off his hands, fell out of his bed, for, remember, he had only one sheet. When he recovered, he tossed it gently over to our other "Tom," who twirled it to Sparkman. By this time it was ready to begin the next round. All pillows went up with a yell and this continued for at least a half hour. The precedent of pillow fighting was set and a ibattle was staged every night from then on to the close of the conference at Blue Ridge. These few incidents are simply ex amples of the fun to be had at Blue Ridge. They by no means are fair representatives, but they should give you the idea at least that life is full of pep and enjoyment in the moun tills around Blue Ridge. U.S.C. Are You Going to Blue Ridge?

Many are seen on the tennis courts warming up, while others are seen playing golf in front of DeSaussure.

This Is a strong class and prIactically all of their officers this year have been Blue Ridge men. The Young Men's Class at the Washington Street M. E. will pay part of the expense of two men this year. The Young Men's Class at the First Presb)yterianl Church, taught by D)r Melton, will send two men this year. This class sent its incoming president last year, but plans to double its quota this year. The Lutheran students met at Flinn Hall last Saturday and took plans to send a hey to the Y. M. C. A. con ference and- a girl to the Y. W. C. A conference. The Lutherans are be. coming more wide-awake to the col. lege work and the outlook is that they will do a great work on college campuses for college men ethd women. The Trinity Class sent one man last year. The matter has not been pre sented to them yet, but they are al ways behind a forward movement. ?WeI ~4 Yoinre gamecock Elect ling Wednesday Edit Paper First .xt Year. assembly could have found no better nan. He has served as assistant edi tor for the past term, and knows the game as it should be played. At pres ent Mr. Williams is in the school of journalism, and, according to some over that way, lie has the ability and making of a regular newspaper man. It is not known whether C. B. is going to follow the newspaper game, but if he should decide to do so, he cer tainly will be one who can be counted on for work. The newly elected editor is a member of the Clariosophic So ciety and a member of the present junior class. With the above mnentioned staff it is safe to say that the Gamecock is going to become one of the leading Southern Collegiate papers.

ING TO HAVE LARGE DELEGATIONS (Continued from Page One) Blue Ridge Club men, go to Flinn Hall and talk with Bell. The University of Georgia plans to have thirty men and one faculty man there. The boys from the Cracker school make themselves heard when they get there. Way down in Mississippi they say that "Ole Miss" is going to have over fifty men up there this year. We feel sure that they are going to be there, because they had a large crowd last year. It is a big goal to set for a school so far away. If they can get that large a crowd up we should get thirty-five easily, being as near as we are. The University of Tennessee, David. son, North Carolina State and Georgia Tech say that they will not have less than twenty-five and possibly more. Reports from the schools' over the Southland predict that this is going to be a record-breaking year, and tha there will be well over 500 students present. Remember there wlil be a large number of girls present also. - U.S.C. Are You Going to Blue Ridge? Y.M.C.A. Conference June 17-2 CLASSES CELEBRATE (Continued from Page One) seated.
