PADUCAH BOYS DID
NOT ENTER COLLEGE

David Yeiser and Bell Nichols, tho
two high school graduates who left
this week to enter the State College
at Lexington, have decided not to
enter the school and will be home in
few days. The young men expected
to enter the Sophomore class on the
certificates they received from the
local school, but the authorities
wanted to enter them in the Fresh
men class, and the boys rebelled.
They covered the Freshman course
in their studies here and should have
been entitled to enter the Sophomore
class, as the other boys who have
gone to the college from here have
done so, in other years. Brent James
and Robert HALEY, who also went to
Lexington at the same time, have not
decided yet what they will DO, but
1t is probable they too will return.
