Newsflash—8 Oct. 1961 (LOST:) One, seven-foot female, 38-24-39, attired in formal evening gown, answering to name of Frances, property of Newman Center. Last seen a- bout 1 ajn. this morning. Believed to have been kidnapped from her Homecoming Throne near Brown Cafeteria of Western Carolina College, Cullowhee, N. C, by five (5) unknown students who undoubtedly were freshmen. A dragnet has been put out for her recovery, but at last report her whereabouts are unknown. Newsflash—8 Oct. 1961 (FOUND:) One, seven-foot , 38-24-39, at approximately 9:40 this morning ing girl was discovered peering into a second-story wine; the home of President Paul A. Reid of Western Carolina College. Mrs. Keid, First Lady of WCC, who is credited with the finding of this most m young lady, has been quoted as follows: "I woke up and happened to look out the window. What a SHOCK! President Raid had noticed her down by the cafeteria Saturday afternoon; however, we were quite .surprised to wake up and find her at our front door. We've had quite a good laugh over her. As a matter of fact, I took pictures of her this afternoon." President Reid made the following comment: "We like having the girl here. We think she's just wonderful!" (RETURNED:) Late Sunday evening, about 8:30 pjn., a delegation was dispatched from the Newman Center to reclaim the kidnapped girl. She was found to be a little torn and ragged but in fine health and well-cared-'for. As a token of appreciation for the gracious hospitality bestowed upon the young lady by the president and his1 wife after her ordeal, the delegation placed her bouquet of red roses on the doorstep of their home. The weary igirl was borne back to her rightful owner, the Newman Center, via Cullowhee Road, thus causing much confusion and shock to passing motorists, startled by the sight of a seven-foot female in evening dress, riding up the dark highway on the shoulders of the delegation. At last report, the culprits, five (5) misguided young freshmen, Messrs. White, Wilson, Smith, Hunsinger and White, had been soundly chastised by the proper authorities for their attempted kidnapping and are awaiting arraignment before President Reid, who will decide their fate.
