Stetson University vol. xxv DeLAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1912 NO. 7 THE SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS OR THE MARCH OF THE FIVE HUNDRED After much premature bonfiring and inefficacious deliberations upon our appropin- gzatious quasi-victory, we laid aside the cares and burdens of this hebdomedal existence, hitting the hay on Thursday night, dreaming dreams of Alnaschar, calming our troubled spirits with a faith asbouyant as that of Sned's Rat, laying the flattering unction to our souls that our Cyclopear eleven would squelch the Alligators golden dream of Pigskin fame. E'en before old' Sol yoked together his refulgent nags, and set out upon his fiery course, the bustling preparation of the Mighty Five Hunc. red resounded o'er the campus, shaking the leaves of the fifteen different types of flowering shrubs and reverberating from the classic walls of the nineteen buildings. (See Stetson catalogue for particulars). Hastily removing traces of Chaudoin coffee from our "Cupid Bows," with band playing and colors flying we tramped to the hyperborean Railroad Station that has made DeLand famous among the inaccessible beauty spots of our fair State. After draping artistically our mighty steam perambulator of unexcelled velocity, Sam Barco having given his entire permission to the Engineer to ease on steam, as the caravan moved off, the Five Hundred elbowed, shouldered, jostled, hustled, justled, hurtled, belabored jolted and bumped their way into the gorgeous cattle-cars provided for us by the munificent A. C. L. After a heart palpitation and daring ride to the DeLand Junk-pile, Bob Milam saw the inevitable necessity of putting a nigger on the safety valve to avoid exceeding the speed limits of Eldridge. (Not Mabel). Being conscious of the still excessive and dangerous speed of the train, he nobly went to Block(h)er. Next in popularity to the "Lovers car" (But that's another story) was the Chaudoin car. T'would be beyond the power of masculine pen to enlarge upon this resplendent and dazzling assemblage. Solomon in his prime was not arrayed like one of these. Yet they spin not, neitver do they toil. After many a broken hearted (;) lover seated with his hungry "fair" had been harassed to the verge of financial embarassment by Charlie Walker and his grasping horde of white coated Robbers we reached the City of Shattered Hopes. Then began the march of the hopeful Five Hundred. After many dusty perigrinations we repaired to the field of battle. (An account of which, see elsewhere.) Stetson's bacon got burnt but we brought back Elsie. Well we saw the city in all its pride of victory and to say the least they acted like .gentlemen. After wandering disconsolately around for awhile Miss Ross persuaded the conductor to retrace his speedy trip tu the Alliens oi' Florida. And by the way Ray Griffin claims to be the guy that put the "hens" in Athens. With some difficulty the Chaudoinitcs decided upon their car for the return. Of course you understand the difficulty was not theirs. The midnight special was the source of some discomfort to certain bold intruders. We understand that Lacy found the business end of a hat pin in his path upon a foolish attempt to invade its hallowed precincts. Jack Whidden reports that it cost him just $1.95 to keep Anna Belle awake by such substantial entertainment as ham and chicken sandwiches. We would suggest that he get a sack of peanuts next time. Think how much longer they would entertain her and at what a reduction of expenses. Bryan Jennings was also a frequent visitor in the Chaudoin car. He was "Wise" all right. At plenty after ten we arrived home Dutch Hammond having sung the last song in his repertoire and Haskins having finally subsided.

No attempt will be made to say how much work was accomplished, but at any rate, the noon was most thoroughly enjoyed Mi I'urdon, a visiting member, wtas there, and dining the afternoon another of last year's stud. .Miss Martin, delighted everyone with her arrival at about five o'clock when refreshim were served, after which the songs composed by the hostesses for the various members were sung, creating much merriment. The gathering was then broken up. with cheers for its visiting members.
