Incident at County High
School Gives Promise of
Glass Scrap.

Glass spirit and enthusiasm at Lo-
an county high school has apparently
received an impetus with the arrival
Of the hracing invigoratiug cool days
and the frosty, brilliant moonlight
nights. seventy-hve loyal, dignihed
seniors decided that when the sun
arose this morning his first beams
should fall upon the pink and white
peunant Of the class Of O6 floating
proudly from the topmost spire Of the
school building

and threes and in little crowds Of four
and FIVE, stealthily, at Carnegie library
about ten o'clock last night and when
their forces, seventy-five strong, had
assembled they silently departed for

timid Of the class climbed the ladder
and gathered with the leaders of the
class about the flag pole a hundred

the number had scaled the dizzy
height, the ladder was withdrawn and
placed on the top of the building lest,

evil intent, might be lurking near.

secrecy that the exultant seniors were
confident that no junior knew of their
desire that the pink and green pen
nant might float grandly in the morn

to the flag pole refreshments served
and few class songs and yells softly
repeated by the members Of the senior
