they waited . the upperclassmen built

ordeals.
A series of fires were kindled on the
beach, which proved to be Pwan Island,
where the red necks were to receive each
degree. Still blindfolded they were led
aahore and the big thing was on.
Everything Imaginable that could pos
sibly be used to produce the most hor
rible sensations were practiced nn these
meek candidates. Experience had taught
that reslstsiTte was useless. They were
made. to crawl through long pipes which
seemed miles in length; they were given
doses of aloes, the most bitter potion
known to the young "docs.''

Many women were preaent, but con

student would rush up and exclaim:
"Oh. boys, I wouldn't do that, that's
going pretty far," or "My goodness,
what have you done now, don't you
know better than to go so far." while
the poor freshman would shake with
fear. But as a matter of fact, most of
the ceremonies would smount . to Very
little except the llmburger shampoo,
which will leave an Ineffaceable mem

The climax occurred when the fresh
men were all left on the island tied to
trees while the upperolassmen wsnt

them to return to the main land in and
they muat remain until some wayfar
