As they staggered through the darkness, too laint to go further yet ever torced on hy their relentless guide, masses of long, wiggling, sciiiirming, cold tliing.s were placed in their hands lor considenition. The end of their toilsome, nerve-racking junrney now loomed on the liorizon, and the climax ol! all their woes was approaching. In the distance, taint yei ungodly, the wails ol! their triends gone hcl'ore were watted over the winds. As the gale through which all wore (0 pass was approached, liorce gusts of winri blew down upon them amid the darkness; tliey were swayed Lo and fro. Towering bel'ore that fatal gate .stood the harsh judge, calling each by name and ordering her to give an account of her misdeeds toward her superiors. This ordeal being completed, ’2S, balked by ’2U, M'as yet unwilling to release her hold upon tiic Xewish. Out upon the campus they were sent, oh, so glad to slop upon niotiier earth again, and there around a big bonfire led by t'resliman badges lUoy did tlie snalte-dance and gave vent tci their long pent-up feelings. "Cry , cry, cry yet more," came ihe order ajid those whom fright had petrified were forced 10 cry out. and others in wlioni fear hail crealed a desire lor weeping moistened the ground willi llieir tears. As a grand ciinuix to a perfect day, young ’2S) Lurned her back npon ’27, sank down in a body upon her knees, and having lain in Oriental fashion before ihe lire kindled by ’:2lj and ’2S rendered ubesiance to the classes!

For the president of the State Sophs, with two other members of their class, maintained guard until they -were joined by all the Meredith Soplis at G a.m., along with a few Seniors. Yells were given for the State boys both present and absent, and the admiring girls grouped 'rotind until the break fast bell called them away, 'I'he lirst really Rod Letter Day lor the Sophomores lias passed, hut it left its sign. And again Meredith Soplis say to those from State—“We thank you." “You can come early. You can come late, Hut, oil.

ISut it takes energy to sing and yell; and whenever energy is used, the marlts of hunger are left behind. But Mrs. Maddry had forseen this possibility ol’ emptiness and had provided us with a box of candy— absolutely the beat we've ever tasted. It was mighty hard lo quench our voices long enough to gel through the heavy trallic of Durham, especially wlien all the people were wanting so much to know who we were and where we were from. But we held it all in for a little while to keep the traffic from getting congested. And then we rode up to Duke and began our songs and yells. We must have been an unusual sight £or every* where heads began to sprout out of the windows and soon whole bodies began lo emerge from all sorts of cracks and corners to see what it was all about. Tliat was one excited bunch of boys wlm came out aiid yelled for Meredith as we drove through. There was such a great force of magnetism in the busses thal some of the boys seemed to cling on the sides for a short space and pour out phrases of excitement. But they slipped off as we left llie campus lo go back up town. We rode all around town until we came to a fruit store that was open. The Greek owner of the place ran out, his eyes bulging with excitement. ' You wiinna da banan' for alia da crowd? Well we iiava dc banan and da applea two.” Thereupon he brought out tliree iiuge bags of fruit and smiled in his Oriental polileness as be handed them lo Ihe hungry Sophs within. We ate and were tnerry and then di'ovc back around lo Duke for a last farewell. There M-ere crowds asaem- l)lod to y!ll for ns, bid us remain, and inally tell us good bye. And tlien in a swift lllght. we had Ic'fl Durham and were im our way back to Raleigh; and all hearts and minds were eagerly anticipating tlie Hcliirii. the nou-nfatl of i}"’ Frmhle. We did not stop at -Meredith at Ilrsl wlien we came back, hut drove on up through State College and yelled. And from there we rode to Raleigh, up and down Fayetteville Street, and around hy Old Meredith before we came bade. We lurned the corner down hy the liifihway, wo came on up lo the Col- vge. and there waiting for us were mr Dig Sisters, the Senior Class. We all yelled for each other and then made a mad dive for the Preslunen. .Sl'EOTACULAIl DISPLAY OP »28 IN DfNI>0 HALL JOKES Margaret Wilkinson wants to know iC you put a question mark after a question in a letter.

W'hen the things we plan Need a helping hand Vou can understand and, always, always Skies were not so blue, always. You were ever true, always; So far not a day, but for e’er and aye. We’ll be leaving you, our Sisters,” And, then, lest the Freshmen should feel neglected, these sougs rang out: "Good-hye Jays! Sophs are singing, Every old thing In tune. Hello, blues! Freshmen are crying, Juniors are looking blue, Saw a Freshle hanging round. So we’re going with a bounfl, tiood-bye Jays! Troubles beginning Without ending. Yes— For we’re the Tiger Sophs; There’ll he no .hinior Sisters hanging round; For we’re the meanest bunch of Sophs on earth— Wo intend to make those Newish yell, liut never grin— Just hoar that Tiger howl. Which makes those little Freshles wall and yowl— Tlien we will yell ao all the world will know’— Here ^ve come, For we're the Tiger Sophs!" Neither Soph nor Senior could eat much, full of excitement and spirit is they were. Song followed song. Seniors singing to Sophomores, and Soplioinores singing to Seniors and Freshmen. Just before the end o£ the meal, ’28 sang the following; Pur away there is a Sophomore land A Tiger is the leader of its hand. And howling through Ihe mystery of I the night. Ho seeks the only prey for his delight. Softly we send answer to his call A loyal band of Sophomores one and all For here beneath the glowing stars we’ll meet, Wt^’ll cull and none will dare to re treat. Cjioui.s •Soplis! oh we are here in numbers llrunking little freshios' slumbers With shrieks the air is laden Answering his call Fi'crce, yes bloody sights will greet you When we cull you from above To make you freshles quiver For Ihe Tiger Sophs are here. But the grand climax came when (he lianded-down song of the even classes arose, flrst from the Seniors; was taken up with spirit by the class of ’28; and then, as Sophs pranced put of the hall, swelled with one tvemend* bus vibration from both classes— “Here conies bloody Sophs around the corner, ?.,ooking for a little Freshman wan derer. Tliey’re looking high and low. They frighten Freshie so They beat ’em up, you know. It’s so much fun to see them run. We’ve heard them yell once or twice, Sny. Sophomores, Say ain’t It nice. Fresh are green, and they get greener, Sophs are mean and they get meaner, That’s the Tiger Sophomore way."
