At one time there was on campus a building known as the Power House (today’s Power Plant). On the north end was a brick smoke stack with an incinerator and hinged iron door at its base. One fall day some of the “Greenies” (student workers) were gathering up dead, damp leaves and depositing them in the fire chamber. Smoke and steam were streaming from the pile until a small, inquisitive finger of flame ventured out and resulted in a super WHUMP in the chamber. A five-foot section of brick wall was blown from the fire box 150 feet across campus and landed in the fishpond. It was said that half the goldfish turned white from fright. I personally have seen white goldfish in the pond, and I believe.

—Ernest Caddell (’40), Petrolia
