IRT STUDENTS CLASS WARFARE
;niofs Issue Proclamation f*"Sliowing Up" Juniors for "Stunt" of Last Week
SUB-SENIORS "DEADEST' EVER
abers of Both Classes Give \x9ir Views of Opening Hostili¬ ties in Written Sutements
Sy the High School Reporter ||f there is any slgnlflcance in the ill aen connected with Friday, tbe Thlr- Bnth, tbe students of two upper class- in the Freeport High School have evidence of it. A week ago the Bgular chapel exercises wire inter iipied by a stirring scene and on the >llowing day—just a week ago—the rat smoke in the annual class war- lire was seen to rise. The Juniors their Innings and now the seniors re at bat.
Yesterday was"Proclamatlon Thurs- »y" in school. The seniors returned lie fire of the juinors yesierday and lay other activities are looked for. i'he senior retort took tte following rm:
0 tho Students of F. H. S.: Vou were all highly amused last hursday to see the ridiculous attempt taunt the Class of 1914 by the insig- Iflcant mllk-eops who are afraid to ac- :tnowledge their deed. Such an exhi- Ition of childishness would be too rivlal to mention were it not for the ilbelouB impression made by It.
The Juniors wish to Insinuate that :he Class of 1914 waa dead. What a emarkably observant and keen-sight- crowd they are! Had the state- ent made been true, it has taken hem six months to discover it! But jjat facts be given. We make no vain asts of what our class has accom- llshed, for all know that the Seniors ave been the life of the school. Consider the spiritedness of the Jun- llora. They have twice refused the hallenge of the Seniors to a bowl flht, through fear of defeat. The enlors also suggested a debate, again ¦receiving a refusal from the noble Juniors. Yet this class, the Deadest (if there be such a superlative) that F. H. 8. has ever had the misfortune to harbor, has accused the Class of 1914 of being lifeless! 'Tis too ab¬ surd for further notice. Let their demonstrations be undisturbed for, in the words of Shakespeare, "What fools these mortals be."
The Undefeated Class of 1914" Perhaps the best way for the public to get an idea of the situation wouid be to piesent bolh sides, and they are here given:
A Junior's Viewpoint The Junior Class uf Freeport High School feel that a certain amount of credit l8 due to the class of '14, in that It BuccessfuUy cariied out the plan ot action decided upon. But such a plan it was! For years past posting proclamations has been the only known way of belittling a rival class. When the Class ot 1915 decided to "show up" the Seniors, they picked a new and novel scheme, as the readers of last Friday's Nassau Post already know.
But not BO, the Seniors. They, hav¬ ing no inventive mind among their numbers, resorted to the old custom and had proclamations printed. Were this not stale enough in itself, they went further and published untruths. And yet their motto is "Honor before Honors."
We are frank In stating that we do not admire the way In which they fulfill their Ideals,
The Class of 1914 claims that twice the class of 1915 has refused a chal¬ lenge to a bowl flgbt, and once to a debate. But if you investigated you would Ifiarn that the FACTS are these: In November the Class of '15 to a bowl fight. The matter was re¬ ferred to the school athletic coach and he decided as follows: Four of tbe inen who would take part In the bowl flght were members of tho football team. As the team was In poor con¬ dition and needed men, be did not wiah to take the chance uf losThg good iben by accident in a trawl fight. So tbe fight was postponed until the Blaring. And would you believe that vhile tbe Senior Class had only one man on the football team, fhe Juniors had four. So you see that under the conditions tho coach was right in de¬ ciding that he could not risk the loss of hia Junior football men, by any chance accident. As for a second Oballenge to a bowl fight and a chal¬ lenge to a debate, these must have been pipe dreams of the Seniors, for BO such announcements have been Bade In school. •• v« iMve U t» ys% fMeiedi, to
decide upon the Inventiveness and ac- curateness of a Senior mind.
From the Senior Standpoint
The students of Freeport High School were treated to a thrill Thurs¬ day morning when they turned to page IOC in their song books and found a proclamation was issu^ in retali¬ ation for the Junior affair of a week ago.
It was a complete success. Every one was gathered for the week's chap¬ el exercises and Miss Knights request¬ ed that the song tK>ok8 be distributed. After the flage salute aud the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner," the students were asked to turn to page 106. Tbe introduction to the selection was played and the cue for Ihe begin¬ ning was given; but there was no re¬ sponse. Everyone was intent upon reading the proclamations which they had discovered in their books.
The face of each Junior turned crimson as the proclamation was read. They could not apparently concentrate their attention on the music, but al¬ lowed their eyes to rest upon the pro- :^aniatlon.
The succcFR of the .Senior movement was made tlie greater, for the Juniors, fearing an attempt mightstje made by he S'-uiors to "put one over" on Ihem, iliought they wero keeping a strong watch but the work wni' going on right ih their midst and still they weer un¬ aware of It.
No doubt many readers are ac- 'lualnted with the Juniors' prank of a iveek ago and wonder wiiy something .iimilar was not attempted by the -Jenlors. There are two good reasons for this. Firt, the humiliation of tak¬ ing the banner down, for the Juniors, A'ere obliged to remove their work 'lefore the eyes of the student body Hid il has ever been said their liumili- ilio.n and disgrace was greater than Lhe laugh which they caused; second, ilthougli the Junior Ciass has been irganized for almost three years they 'lave as yet no banner or .emblem to represent their class or to set' forth their motto. The class of 1916, al- though a year younger, has had an oniblem for the past year.

Great Storm Occurred 26 Years Ago Yesterday
Twenty-sl.x years ago yesterday, March 12, 18S8, the great, blizzard And what a storm it was! Forty inch- .'S of snow fall on the average, the .vhlte Hakes falling steadily from 1 j'clock on the night of Sunday,..jMarch 12, until -1 o'clock in the aflernoon ol Tuesday, March 14.The lowest temper-' .iiure 5 degeres above zero. Drifts in many places on Long Island from ten io twelve feel deep. lOverything block¬ ed for days. No daily papers, no mails, and but little business transact¬ ed for over a week.
There is no real reason for publish¬ ing these facts for the benefit ot those ,vho were old enough to remember the big storm, but merely to remind them that father time lias turned the wheel of years around twenly-six times since'the great storm occurred.
Tiiose who made their appearance on earth since the stoim need scoff at nothing elders tell about it. There has been nothing to etiuai It since and there may not be during the present .^'Cfveration.
