light the bonfire, and yell their
lungs out as the band and cheer
leaders lend the necessary auxil
iary sounds and motions.

Rameses III said yesterday be

-out and fight behind that team
of ours. If we don't get more

kids and Tennessee will make
.goats of us all." '
Fraternities are urged to turn
out full membership with their
visitors to participate in the ral
ly. Dormitory men are request
ed to rouse the more apprehen

On the accordian, a beautiful

glittered the name "Happy."
"Happy" and his four gay com

for most of the evening. Some
spectators fancied that "Happy"
was either a gypsy or a-bohem-lan.
Because of his very fair

Fearful Spectre Frightens
Socialites In Aycock Dorm
Students Gathered in Social Room of Dormitory to Spend Evening
In swapping Yarns Confronted by Gruesome Figure; Mean
while Kornegay Has Become Regular Infirmaryite.
' -o r
A large crowd had gathered
to pass an otherwise dull eve
ning in swapping stories in the
Aycock "social room." Sudden
ly, to their consternation, there
appeared a . figure clothed in
black looking not unlike that
vampire ' artist, Dracula. ' It
wasn't Dracula, but, on closer
examination, Frankenstein's
monster which stalked into the
room. An ashen hue crept over
the faces of the crowd as they
gazed into the contorted face.
Its eyes seemed to hit them
amidships like a couple of bul
lets. As suddenly as it had come,
the . thing vanished, and, in its
place stood Mr. Hyde of .Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde fame. By
this time, the perspiration was
oozing from the foreheads of the
crowd arid the ashen hue was
A look of fear spread over the
mobile side of his face as he
gingerly massaged the aching
tissues.
The outcome of the whole
thing was that Joe Kornegay
went to the infirmary and was
told by the attending physician
that he must receive daily treat
ments for his affliction. A nerve,
they reported, was bruised to
such an extent that it rendered
useless the muscles on one side
of his face. When asked to
wiggle his right ear, Joe mere
ly smiles a left hand smile and
thinks of the days when he was
the undisputed champion right
ear wiggler in Orange county.

Identity Revealed
A wince of pain seemed to
cross the Hyde countenance just
as he was in the midst of one of
the most gruesome of his facial
contortions. Clutching the rigKt
side of his face, the Dr. Jekyll
of the combination was disclosed
as a small, rotund boy in knick
ers, looking rather sheepish over
the fact that his blood-curdling
scheme had blown out a fuse.
He tried to laugh, but one side
of his face refused to function.

remove the towel that surrounds
his neck.
If anyone cares to see the
gentleman who was so nobly car
rying on the great work of Lon
Chaney, he may be found in the
dorm store in Aycock, contented
ly chewing on a straw while tell
ing some, eager listener why he
has that "piece of rag" around
his throat. The . story,' like all
stories, grows in the telling, and
will some day grace the annals
of Carolina folk lore.
