WANTED A PEEP;
GOT AN EYEFUL
High School Girl Gives Youth
Lesson He Will Never
Forget.
Detroit, Mich.—Curious young men
"'ho lurked about the exterior of
Southeastern high school on Fairview
and Goethe avenues, to get a peek at
the girls in their “tank” suits have
discontinued this nightly practice with
amazing alwuptness.
For several weeks these young men
enjoyed a blurry view through frosted
windows, of the Southeastern swim
ming pool on “ladies’ nights.” The
classes meet on Monday and Wednes
day evenings apd are composed most
ly of portly married women who are
taking swimming to reduce.
Unable to restrain their eagerness
of visage, the boys agreed to carefully
remove one section of the frosted win

dow pane which had the audacity to
open on the dressing rooms. The
broken window aroused the suspicions
of Joseph H. Corns, principal of the
school, and on the following “ladies’
night” he lay in waiting for the cul
prits.
One young man was captured and.
turned oyer to the girls for punish
ment. The fair swimmers lined up in
their “tank” suits and told the young
man to take an “eyeful” but he. only
stood abashed and chagrined.
> ' ? '
It was then decided by the jovial
swimmers to give the young man a
ducking and a splashing that he
wouldn’t forget. They rushed at him
the way they would attack a pushball
on the college campus, and the
stranger went , overboard with hat,
overcoat, shoes and all. After giving
him a thorough trouncing he was set
free. The young man is reported to
have run home like a streak of light
ning, and the girls are enjoying their
swimming nights unmolested.
