HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
ARE SUSPENDED
TWO DAYS

True loves course never ran more
uneYenly than has that of the Sam
Houston Defeating society, nee the
Lincoln Debating society, of the high
school Last year, just as its most elo-
quent member was Grating to the night
air, on the great social problem OF
whether the dish rag or broom is the
most important adjunct of a household
along came some unsympathetic, not to
say soothing, doubters and proceeded to
break up the meeting and a section of
the fence which surrounded the school
grounds. The result was the immedi-
ate suspension of some of the members
and the changing of the name from the
Lincoln to the Sam Houston society,
for the development of oratorical and
pyrotechnical ability on the part of the
young high school hopefuls. But that
is ancient history.
Friday night, while the society was
deeply engroSsed in its discussion Of
topic of equal Importance, along came
some of the same or equally soothing
doubters, and proceeded to raise a
rough house with the society's peace of
mind, the members say. The brand new
picket fence, which is the pride of the
school was ruthlessly deprived of a
pair of its front teeth with which to
make a noise like a suffragete con-
Yention
Monday morning, six boys were ex-
cused from recitations temporarily I'M
til they could arrange the previous Fri
day evenings proceedings with the
principal. In cold. plain, English they
were canned.
One was a member of the football
squad and he was prohibited from sit
ting upon his classmates necks for the
remainder of the season. Another was
an associate editor of the Tattler, the
school publication and his promising
young literary career was snuffed out
by the power which be and are. For
one whole day and half of another,
they were deprived of the pleasure Of
attending the high" after which they
were reinstated upon their promise to
be good.
