Pranks Of Anti-Be Gave Gray Hairs By JIMMY HOWLE "Oh, Jesus, save us!" yelled a negro man running across the cam pus in 1832. He ran full speed to the president's office. "The devil's in the chapel," he told President Henry. Dr. Henry, several other faculty ICm1bers, and a few students en tered the chapel in Rutledge Col lege, armed with knives, guns, a pitchfork, and sticks. Jack, the jan itor who had just meet the "devil" stood on the far side of the cam pus as the bold expedition entered the building and was completely dumbfounded when they emerged leading a grey donkey that had been tied to the pulpit. The students of those days were quite fond of animals. One of Dr. Cooper's chemistry classes once procured a venerable goat and strapped him in the man's chair in the classroom where the animal, wvith sp)ectacles on his nose, pre sented a very dignified appearance. One source said that it%ore a great resemblance to the old p)rofessor, Dr. Cooper would not be the complete duple. "Young gentlemen, Students Inspect Diesel On Display Prof. Frank Herty, of the uni versity department of mechanical engineering, conducted his classes at the Laurel Street siding of the Southern railroad, Friday, March 24. A demonstration unit of the set-up on a modern General Motors 16-cylinder diesel-electric locomo tive was being displayed to students and faculty members. The train was demonstrated and explained by J. F. Shenaman, gen eral diesel supervisor in charge of education, of the Southern railwvay. It is currently making a tour of all the Southern lines and being shown to railway employees and the public. When asked the speed one of these engines is capable of pulling a train, Mr. Shenaman replied, "In the mountainous areas, the trains have to be geared down to provide power for the steep grades. Tdp speed with this set-up is 55 miles an hour. Out West, wvhere the land is flat, the trains are geared up and can reach 100 miles an hour easily." -SOUTH CAROL 2 DOORS FROM THE Sigma Pi Dance Sp 41% i formal dance to be held April 15, master; Miss Wilma Stroud for Jan warden; bottom row, Miss Marguie Reginald 13. CoMean1, chancellor. N Hum Students ro Professors getting democratic in your ideas, elevating one of your number to the chair, I'll leave you together." With this retort, he went out, lock ing the door behind him and leav ing the students and their new pro fessor together for several hours. Dr. Henry was another profes sor who could usually keep pace with the mischievous students. Once he learned that some students were planning to pull his carriage down the hill on Bult street. The professor went to the coach shed, hid in the carriage and went for the ride. Upon reaching the bot ton of the hill, he thanked the young men and then sat on top as they tugged it back to its place. April Fool's Day was one wasted for the professor of the early times if he met his classes. One of the favorite tricks of the students were to sit in the class on April first, say nothing when the roll wvas called, and, if they were called upon to recite, they wvould remain silent. Usually the professor would lecture but one of themi went the boys one better. This p)rofessor left a note on his desk saying that he 'would be a little late coming to class but that the students should wvait. The geniuses of the class immediately set to wvork planning p)ranks to spring upon the master when he entered. For three hours they waited before giving up. Finally he wvas seen sitting beneath a tree. When some of them asked why he did not-come to class, he politely informed them that it was All Lorick - Couch OFFICE EQUIPMENT Co.
