u hND NAUGHT-FIVE the a Ceremony Postponed From Last Commencement Takes Place With Variations. There is a class on the Hill known as 1905. This may surprise you It. would have surprised most any nnf a week mm. for if thev were - m ------ 7 here they had given no siyns of life But wait. They have "awoken' and the time of their was last Tuesday night and manner of it was in this wise. The Seniors of last year pur chased for themselves certain. pieces of lumber, out of which they fash ioned themselves seats, which they placed under the Davie Poplar, their peculiar possession as Seniors, and upon which the7 did seek re pose. And when the time of their graduation was nigh at hand they took counsel one with another and decided how that 1 hey would destroy the seats bv burning them with fire some time 'during Commencement. For some reason or other, however, some of the seats were not burned with fire, but were left supposedly hidden in some convenient spot. Now it so happened that the Sen ior class of this year (that which is known as the class of 1906) appoint ed some time ago a committee charged with the "surreptitious se curing of lonesome lumber." By accident the strollers came upon the last year's benches and without a twinge of conscience appropriated them to their own use, and said nothing. But certain members of the erst while class of 1905, a weak and scattered remnant, sniffed with their organs of olfactory sensation and became convinced of the pres ence of some .carnivorous rodent. On Sundav afternoon last, in the open glare of daylight they conduct ed a post mortem examination of the seats and satisfied themselves that they were none other than their very own. That was all. On Monday night a few minutes before twelve the lights went out as usual. For the space of some twenty minutes quiet reigned over the campus, deserted, and gl earn i no white in the moonlight, while the 600 inhabitants wooed the god of sleep. The majority had prose cuted their suit to a successful ter mination when the loud clanging of the bell and the shrill cries ol "Fire" accompanied by a red glow on the campus brought them to their windows, through which they craned their heads. But no building wrapped in mon ster flames greeted their eyes. Under the Davie Poplar were the flames, rising from the prostrate forms of the helpless Senior bench es. Gathered round was a little group of instructors in Knglish, in French and in German, together with sundry Law and Medical stu dents. As usual, their identity had the crowd of angry and dissa pointed spectators guessing till a Yackety Yack with a long "Naugh five" three times made the onlook eis look at one another. Thev were suprised. They had a right to be. Round the funeral pyre the little company stood, shouting their yells and singing their songs as of yore, and ringing clear in every song and yell, like the bubb!in- over of uncontrollable class spirit come the strident voice of one John Kenyon Wilson, evidently a leading spirit. When the flames had died away, the jubilant post grads marched up to th? well and bombarded with countless skyrockets the windows of the neighboring buildings. This done, they quietly took their depart ure and again the god of sleep took charge. HALlIIdH, A. DUGHl - - NORTH CAROLINA. Pictures Framed THE W. A, SLATER CO., OF DURHAM, N.
