AFTER Mitchell's words, the crowd moved back to the bonfire site, pre-constructed by Buildings and Grounds men, threw their torches onto it and sang the alma mater.
"It's a pleasure for me to be in the midst of the peppy generation." Wescoe said.
The large bonfire brought a sudden warmth to the by then very cold crowd, but they turned back to Strong as Chancellor Wescock appeared on the balcony.
As he continued speaking, a piece of wood from the fire burst.
causing a loud gun-fire type exploding sound. Wescoe clutched at his heart and fell to the floor, bringing a howl of laughter from the students.
WESCOE took a brief turn to the serious, however. Speaking on the pride surrounding KU he said:
"I congratulate all of you people for being here tonight; for showing that the KU spirit lives."
After one more rousing chorus of the Jayhawk Song, the rally slowly broke up, with the Dixieland Band playing again.

As the last rallyers deserted the scene, Fred Krebs, Shawnee Mission junior and traditions committee chairman, and Paul Clendening, Shawnee Mission junior and committee member, remained to see that the fire was put out.
"I'm speechless," Krebs said. "I knew we had the makings of a good rally, because everybody was so great. I was really worried
that the cold would keep them away.
"This show of enthusiasm has really encouraged both me and my committee," Krebs said. "We're going to have to think up a bunch of other things to keep up the spirit. I mean with this kind of cooperation, how can we keep back?"

PIZZA LOVERS,
We will be the first to admit, NO ONE can deliver a pizza as fresh as just from the oven. We think everyone knows this, but, when it comes to delivering any food, the quality of the product depends on: A. Time involved; and B. Type of heat used to keep it hot.
We can make most of our pizza deliveries in 15 to 20 minutes. But our speed is important only for your satisfaction. We can keep pizza at exactly the proper temperature (154 degrees) and at just the right humidity (84%) for hours. This is because we have the only humidity controlled delivery ovens in town.
If you want your pizza fresh from the oven, come on out to the Corral at 1401 West 7th, or if you're too busy, give our deliveries a try tonight.
