The spirit of class rivalry existing between the juniors and seniors of the Freeport High School has been bubb- . ling over this week. Monday a dozen or more ef the juniors captured two seniors, made them prisoners and de- L.I tained them during most of the day in captivity, releasing them only in time for the class day exercises, when the hatchet was buried. The seniors were not idle while the juniors were cutting up capers for they, too, made a prison er of a junior and kidnapped him in an automobile. A crowd of residents witnessed the “ arrest” of the two seniors. Walter Morse and Clifford Teeple were the two graduates to fall prey to the juniors. They forgot themselves and wandered away from their col leagues. That was enough for the juniors and they pounced down upon the two undefended youths. The next five hours were trying ones indeed for Seniors Morse and Teeple.—Eagle.
