HIGH SCHOOL BOYS CUT HAIR
Of COMPANIONS IN A MOST
GR0TEsQUE MANNER GLASS FEUD

Black eyes, swollen noses and
patches of court plaster. these are The
requirements for popularity among
the high school boys at the present
time. And 1t is said that the fair
Sex is just a little partial toward
the bearers of the signs of the times.
Without at least one of the above
described badges of class spirit ;he
only redemption for him who has not
mixed it is to have his hair cut in
the approved manner the stipulations
of which are that long and narrow
paths the exact width of a pair of
clippers running from ear to ear or
from forehead to neck are quite the
proper style. A checker board effect
is also very popular, while circles,
triangles and hearts cut on the very
top of the head where the hair is
thickest is considered most fetching.
The first student to appear with
his hair cut according to the dictates
of the new fashion was Lawrence
Carnahan. senior. He was so taken
by the new designs of hair dressing
that he had his hair cut at midnight
standing in the cold air in his
pajamas, the operation being super
vised and witnessed by q large circle
of sophomores who were enrapt with
admiration at the charming effect of
pen knife drawn with proficient
hands counterwise to large tufts of
hair. Lawrence has pretty blond hair
but the new method gives equally as
charming results when applied to red
hair. One would scarcely believe this
but a look at Max Boyer this after
noon would be convincing to a GER
tainty. The cut on Max's hair rep

ly combined with the heart and tri-
angle fad. While the hair is being
cut, especially If dull pen knife or
rickety pair of clippers are being
used, an excellent opportunity is af-
forded to give vent to ones true feel
ings and thereby rid the vocabulary
of number of idomatic and impossi-
BILE expressions. which would hardly
be sanctioned by the best writer's as
has been demonstrated on several oc-
casions.
II all started when a number of
upper class men combined with a
larger number of freshmen attempted
to break up party OF the sophomores
which occurred at the St. Regis Fri
day night. Luke Gex, toastmaster of
the occasion and Bruce Knight, one
of the speakers. were captured and
loaded into an automobile but while
they were hurrying out of town Luke
Gex escaped and succeeded in reach
ing the banquet hall Bruce Knight
was taken five or six miles over on
Orchard Mesa where he was liberat ed

revolver on his person. evidently with
the idea of reaching the hall in safety,
which purpose he accomplished One
of the senior boys informed the police
that the gun was in possession of
Andrews and asked the policeman to
play joke on him and pretend that
he was going to pull him for carry
ing concealed weapons. He was
searched in the presence of a large
number of boys but one of his con-
federates had gotten word to him and
the gun had been given into the GUS
tody of another of the same class
Andrews then judged that the senior
who had peached on him was deserv-
ing of a thrashing and he decided to
deliver the goods. The conflict oc-
Cured last night and II reports are
true even II he failed in his purpose
of administering thrashing he COW
cred himself with glory by appearing
at school with number of popular
signs, but in this respect he had to
divide honors with his worthy op-
ponent, Earl McSherry. who was as
popularly bedecked as himself.
When school dismissed this noon

of the whole captured Max Boyer and
