Residents Throw Firecrackers As Eliot House Lights Go Out

Pitch black Eliot House teetered on the brink of anarchy for ten minutes last night as Mastodons, piqued when the electricity went off for the second time in two study hours, hurled fire cracker after firecracker into the spacious courtyard.

Observers, spiking rumors that the display was Communist-oriented noted that the explosions came from widely scattered and entirely reputable sources. A Student Council agent, scowling at the affray, mentioned the possibility of a combined poll and probe, but Yard police were unimpressed.
