Winthrop House Willkie is Prepared for Parachuting

Prefacing their exams with some extra-curricular nonsense, two Winthrop House inhabitants caused quite a crowd of bewildered onlookers to gather at the Gore Hall gate Sunday evening when they mounted the second floor ledge and circumnavigated the building on the courtyard side.

Few of the other residents paid much attention to the more serious business on the fire for the week, as they hung out of windows and streamed into the courtyard to get a better view of the antics of their fellow inmates.

The main event on the program was the donning of a rubber Willkie mask by one of the performers, followed by the throwing out of the first ball in the Winthrop House extra-softball season in the traditional F.D.R. manner. The two men concluded the performance by jumping to the ground; training for the parachute troops no doubt.
