Ghost of John Harvard Stalks Yard As Architecture Students Play Spook

Ghosts? Goblins? Is John Harvard stalking the Yard again?--these were the questions of Yardlings last night as they shouted reports that Robinson Hall has been haunted by the class of 1739.

Inside the lobby of the Hall, twelve architectural students were found putting on a pre-Halloween masquerade. Seated on three rows of stools, the would-be spooks groaned and stamped with their hands and feet in adoration of a jack o' lantern hung high on the wall.

"I have always preferred playing ghosts to ringing doorbells," one student exclaimed amid his weird incantations. "Tipping garbage cans is so messy. We prefer singing to the spirits of my ancestor's class of 1739." The Robinson Hall haunters said they didn't mean liquid spirits.

AS the twelve masked architects hissed their voodoo dance, word came that Ghost Hater Chalie Apted of the Yard Police was on his way to break up the Performance. A few reached for their bursar's cards, as others decided that discretion is the better part of valor,' as one of them trenchantly phrased it.
