Mouths fell and a stunned silence swept the Ivy Day
crowd.
The twelfth and thirteenth chairs set for the new Inno
cents were folded up and laid on the wet ground.
The Master of Ceremonies, Av Bondarin, said, "That
ends the tapping of the Innocents society at this time.
Eleven new Innocents . . . ."
For the first time in Innocents
history, the traditional thirteen
men were not tapped. Only eleven
were given baldrices by the retir
ing society members.
The dope-sheet of Theta Nu Ep
silon, the ever-secret TNE, dis
tributed throughout the crowd
during the morning festivities of
Ivy Day, had gone wrong.
It had successfully named the
first three new Innocents in order
and had picked the rest of the
eighth men, though not in order.

It had prophesied the election

It had predicted that the vice

Fritz Simpson as secretary.
But there the "scoop" of the

For after Norm Leger, retiring

Then Frank Loeffel and Dale
