Tuesday night members of the jun

paint-brush«« pointing their immortal
numeral« upon tha sidewalk^ of the
city.
The juniors got the start of the
seniors who later discovered the large
number of S7*s and immediately con
verted them into M'a. Discovery fol
lowed and the Junior boys caught
Robert Nohi and Mike Miscan to whom
they attributed the defacement of
their artistic triumphs. They tied
the captives up and kept them tn
bonds until a late hour. Later it was
discovered that Robert Nohl's collar
bone was dislocated in the scuffling.
Wednesday morning many of tb«
numerals could with difficulty be de
ciphered but apparently the Seniors
stayed up latest and had the Ihst
chance with their brushes.
