STUDENTS CENSURED
FOR MARKING SIDES OF

Sino few tlays ago some. of the

a large white figure 191( up
on the side of tlie building. This
seemed to liave rou.-ed the class
spirit of some of the other
classes, because the next even
ins a large red 1913 appeared to
still further disfigure the neal
appearing school building-, and
then, in resentment, the paint
ers of the first siiin proceeded to
paint over the lit 15 the name
101(5, and this last action was
the last straw with the school
authorities, who immediately is
sued an ullimatium to the stud
ents that if the offending figures
were not removed from the build
ing there would he something
unpleasant stirring. The hint
from the authorities was suf
ficient and the sorrowing stud
ents were compelled to labor
quite vigorously o wipe out. the
signs of their foolishness.
