Yesterday it was rumored about that
a number of enterprising Juniors had
some tlmo ago exorcised their craft
successfully In securing without tho
consent of the custodian a considerable
amount of tho copy Intended for the
Senior Annual. It was said that they
had succeeded in making away with
material that was essential to tho suc
cess of tho book and which at this lato
date positively could not bo spared,
and oven that tho book could not bo
printed until this copy was returned
or in eomo way replaced. Coupled with
these rumors was ono to tho effect that
the Juniors Intended soon to publish
tho material that they had purloined,
as they would not bo guilty of depriv
ing bucIi masterpieces of human
i.-ought of their right to appear in
print.
It has been found out for sure that
the Juniors did secure somo of the copy
and that they had woll defined plans
for printing it, probably on posters
to bo freely circulated among tho stu
dents or put In conspicuous places.
They have certainly struck a unique
plan for stirring up excitement, In spite
of the -distress that they may have
caused tho Senior Annual editors. If
they should succeed in capturing the
right material they could certainly

Juniors who took tho material weVe
Impelled by a generous and genuine
impulse to causo the Seniors somo
trouble, and although It Beoms that
they did not succeed as woll as they
wished, no one doubts their good In-
tentlons. It appears that they did not
succeed in capturing anything of Im
portance, as ono of the editors of tho
Annual made tho following declaration
yesterday In regard to tho matter:
"It Is true that the Juniors did suc
ceed In obtaining some of our copy,
but unfortunately they did not havo
an opportunity of exorcising a choice
in the matter or they would haye
made a better selection. Thoy found
some material in a book belonging to
one of tho editors in one of the al
coves of the library. Part of this they
took, and a part they overlooked. The
part that was overlooked was all that
there was of value in tho book, as some
of this was l.ndlspenslble. Tho part
they took consisted of a number of
write-ups, proofs of'plates, and a num
ber of roasts and tho Hko that had
been rejected. If tho Juniors can put
these to any good use they are wel
come to them. The Senior Annual
board has sustained no loss, and if a
good Joke has been played on us we
are willing to own up to it."
Whether or not the Juniors will now
seo fit to publish tho material in their
possession is a, question for the future
to make plain. Yet some of tho stu
dents are curious to see just what they
have got, and although the Juniors
are robbed of a part of their triumph
because evidently no damage has been
inflicted upon anyone, some curiosity
would be aroused if thoy would publish
whatever they think best of the mate
rial In their possession.
