TREE-CLIMBING EXPERTS GET RACCOON ON HEMENWAY ROOF

On Saturday afternoon a Cambridge policeman discovered a raccoon sitting on the top of a tree in the Yard. Somewhat disturbed by the crowd which soon collected under his perch, the raccoon removed itself in haste to the top of the Hemenway gymnasium, where for a time it appeared quite safe.

Harvard Yard officers called the Animal Rescue League to rid them of the disturbing influence. Tree-Climbing experts arrived shortly and finally succeeded in climbing to a point where they were able to lasso the unfortunate raccoon, which was promptly carried off to the quarters of the Rescue League.
