Notes

Abstract:
The Ancient Order of the Crimson Crown was a "secret society" established at Queens in 1940. There were seven founding members, each named after one of the planets. Each member wore scarlet robes and black hoods as well as black socks over their shoes and white gloves. On the night of October 31st at 10:50 PM, the group went through the dormitories and tapped six girls to join. The place of meeting was unknown. They carried a single flashlight shining through a skull as a light as well as the skeletons of a cat, a rooster, and bones of varied sizes.
General Note:
For lack of a better term, a Halloween prank. More like a performance.
