WET-DOWN

Frank Artell Ross Jr., '21, was awarded the Barrett all-around achievement prize at WetDown, June 4. Ross has played on the baseball team for three years and this year was its captain. He is also a letter man in hockey. He was last year a member of the 1921 Junior Prom committee and was this spring unanimously elected class marshal. He is a member of Palaeopitus, Phi Gamma Delta, and Sphinx.

In order to accommodate movie men who had come to Hanover to take pictures of WetDown, the ceremonies were this year divided into two parts. The procession formed on the Oval after the baseball game and after making the customary round of the dormitories proceeded to the Old Pine Stump, where the 1922 Palaeopitus was initiated. After marching past the President's house the procession returned to the campus via Main street. After the two upper classes had tasted of the keg, the pushball was substituted. Here the freshmen made up for what they had failed to do during the picture and furnished one of the most vicious scraps seen in many a day, although they finally lost by 15 feet. Following this was the gauntlet, each class running through only the class above.

The evening saw the final hum of the year, the presentation of the Barrett medal, the transfer of the senior fence to the junior class and finally the bonfire and with it the emancipation of the freshmen from a year's slavery.
