A type written, legal-appearing

more fitting term.) Signatures are be-
ing applied with breathless haste by
the anything for-a-change scholars.
Edgar Crumpacker is the ingenious
originator and his composition is
headed. AN Appeal
ITO the Superintendent. c. M. Mcdaniel.
the principal F. D. McEIroy; the gov
erning body of the Hammond High
School; or to who it may concern:
Whereas many of the pupils of the
Hammond High school, including some
OF us whose names are attached, find
it difficult to attend the 4 years OF the
course and devote the whole of each
day to work; and, whereas many of US
could be a great help to our parents;
and many others could be induced to
attend if the hours were condensed.
Therefore we humbly petition your
honorable body to change the present
hours to o'clock a. m. to $50 p. m"
1t will be remembered that these
hours are the one adopted by all
however that the petition will die the
ignominous death of the usual lobby
bill. The voice of the people gener-
ally has about the same material effect
as an English lecture in the heart OF
China. However the faculty has prom
ised to consider the advisability of
such a change.
