FIERCE SNOWBALL FIGHT
WAGED DURING BLIZZARD
White Balls Hurled From Both Sides
of Enthusiastic Fighters—Luck
AVas Against Passers-by
ONLY BELL could STOP BATTLE
On Thursday, March 3rd, at the
sixth period, the more warlike of the
boys divided forces and took stations
at different x^oLits on the campus. A
hail of white missiles filled the air dur^
ing the whole period.
It was a battle fit to be classed with
the greatest in the history of the
world. First one side rallied to the
attack, and then the others. The dead
ly spheres were made and thrown amid
shouts of triumph and anguish. A
keen eye and an active body were
necessary to avoid the swiftly moving
balls. There were many luckless
enough to stoxi a projectile hurled with
unerring aim by some relentless war
rior.
If a stray girl or teacher happened
to cross the battlefield both sides
united to remind her of her mistake.
The victims of such an attack would
think twice before crossing that field
again.
It was a wet, hut happy, crowd of
boys that went to class when the bell
rang, putting an end to the battle.
