Found greatest excitement prevailing in school. Two boys, it appeared, being tired of the monotony of school life, escaped by one of the back doors at 8.30 on Sunday evening, and went down town where they went to the pictures and had a gay time. Returning at 11 o’clock, they crept through one of the windows, and went to their respective dormitories quite safely, as they thought. The Dean of Study, however, found that they were missing, and reported to Dr. Scannell. When I came to school the two culprits were confined to their rooms. At 2 o’clock the leader of them climbed down the drain-pipe to the ground three storeys below, and ran away. The other, it is expected, will get a flogging. Rather exciting for such a quiet college as Farran Ferris!
