Fletcher, Raleigh business man, and John Mitchell, cashier of the State Bank and Trust Com pany of Greenville, were expelled from Wake Forest College a num-' ber of years ago. The scheme, that brought about this action, was a very ingenious I one, as we think you'll agree. If it J had worked out as originally plan ned everybody probably would have been highly elated; that is, everybody except Dr. George Washington Paschal, who taught Latin at the college in those days, and still lives in Wake Forest. Every morning, the student body would march into chapel for a brief religious service. The faculty always sat on the platform, and in variably Dr. Paschal would lead j the delegation. He always marched across the rostrum and took his seat at the extreme west side. Some of the boys had it in for! Dr. Paschal. Either that, or else i he was just the innocent victim of j circumstances. At any rate, right j in the middle of the platform was ( the baptistry. For the benefit of j you folks who are not Baptists,! we'll explain and say that the bap- I tistry is the little pool where all I good Baptists get dunked. It was covered over with a wooden lid something like a huge door. On top of it was a rug. Arthur and John, and possibly I two or mree omers?even ai uus i late date the two arch-conspirators refuse to snitch ? stole into the chapel lute at night. They threw the rug to one side.- lifted the heavy cover and placed it some where in the rear, where it wouldn't be seen. Then they filled the pool with water and placed two or three very Light strips of wood across the top; just enough to bear the weight of the rug, which they carefully replaced in its original position. To look at it, you couldn't possibly have told that the bap tistry had been tampered with. Of course, you realize what was expected to happen. The students would file into chapel and take their seats. In a moment, the fac ulty, headed by Dr. Paschal, would march across the platform, head ing for their respective seats. As the learned Doctor's foot struck the rug, he would suddenly shoot downward into the water-filled pool and the ensuing spectacle would be one to delight the eyes, ears and mind of any normal col lege boy. You've got to admit that it real ly was a wonderful scheme. And even though we have the highest regard and respect for Dr. Paschal, we're sorry that the thing didn't work out the way the boys had planned. But fate intervened. The matron of the college at that time was an elderly lady by the name of Mrs. Vann. She's been dead a number of years, but all of the boys thought the world of her and?na turally ? wouldn't have done any thing to hurt her. Mrs. Vann went into the chapel1 the next morning before services and walked across the platform to straighten up things just a little bit. She stepped on the rug, shot downward into the pool of water, broke her arm and like to have drowned. Well sir. there was a terrible I furor about it. The chain of cir cumstantial evidence pointed to several boys who hadn't had any 'hing to do with it, so Messrs. Fletcher and Mitchell finally made; a full confession. They were sum marily dismissed from college. I \rthur went to the University and -ubsequently went back to Wake ""orest and obtained his A.B. de Tee, magna cum laude. John stuck 't out at the University for a while. Sut he never went back to Wake ""orest Mrs. Vann has gone to her -eward, and Dr. Paschal celebrated his 85th birthday the other day. It sas been said of him that he never -teps on a rug without first test ng it out to be sure that it will sear his weight. There were several others be 'des Arthur and John who were 'nvolved in the scrape, but there ??as so much stir about the prooo 'tlon that their names never be came known.
