Saturday noon
It would be an opportune time to meet the youngsters and make it warm for them . The affair was carefully planned , but wind of it reached the freshmen . As a result , the youngsters prepared for what they knew must take place . There could be no such thing as avoiding it , so when Saturday noon came they dressed themselves in their old clothes and started for the park , going out as much as possible in a body . When the park was reached it was found that the sophomores were there ahead of them . More than that , the sophs had closed and fastened the gate , and they proposed to hold it . They taunted the freshmen , and told them they would have to climb the fence if they hoped to get into the park .
