Ibis Takes To Wings Amidst Dark Rumors

There were dark doings in Freedom Square yesterday, as city authorities pursued an elusive band of cutthroats and vandals. Ominous reports began to pour in sometime after 3 a.m. They told of drunken youths driving around in a Black Cadillac, of suggestive noises from within the confines of the Harvard Lampoon, and of cloaked figures roaming about atop the Lampoon building.

Interest focused quickly on the world-renowned Ibis, which had returned to its perch on Wednesday. When dawn broke over the Cambridge skyline, as mysteriously as it had reappeared, the Ibis was gone.
