    Eighty-nine North Manchester College students of the senior class spending a few days at the Yellow Banks Hotel, where they are enjoying spring vacation, were last night raided in the midst of their enjoyment by 45 members of the junior class, who captured one of the seniors and took him off into the woods. The captured victim was given some collegiate treatment. His screams attracted others and a real class scrap ensued. The captured senior was torn from the side of his lady love as they sat mooning on the hotel porch.
