But the menace of the blacklist in case of detection proves to be a very effective deterrent. It is a pity that some similar penalty cannot be devised for those who violate their status as guests of the Senior Class on Class Day by selling or giving away their Yard tickets to speculators and outsiders. The fact that a nominal sum to help meet...
