Practical Pranksters Play; Bells and Ice Murder Sleep

This is the wrong season by the calendar but the spirit which has given rise in the past to many a spring riot seems to be abroad in an abbreviated form. Witness Gerald D. Rosenbloom '44, who returned from a date recently to find the minutest remains of a 25-pound cake of ice disappearing before his eyes in his bed.

Another student, Frank French '45, asked his room-mate to awaken him at a specified hour. But he forgot for a moment that said roommate is a radio and recording expert. He remembered fast enough, though, when he heard what sounded like the bells of Big Ben ringing in his ear--an alarm clock rigged up to a powerful amplifying apparatus.
