TROUBLE IN HIGH SCHOOL.
kennebunk Students Rebel and Have
Support of Many Townspeopie.

Kennebunk Me, June 1.-THE Ken
nebunk High school class of 1911 has
voted unanimously not to attend grad
uation exercises publicly or at school.
This action was taken because the five
members of the class believe that the
four boys indefinitely suspended
Thursday night were unjustly treated
by the school committee. The par
ents of the children coincide. The
members of the committee, however
say they see no reason to change their
minds.
The town is greatly wrought up and
there seems to be much sympathy for
the boys. 1t is too late TO call a town
meeting before Thursday the day set
for graduation.
The members of the graduating class
are: Harold Drew of Old Orchard, Ray
mond Irving of Kennebunkport, Marion
Lunt. Percis Il. Hawley and Bertha
Pierce. The boys who were suspended
are: Messrs. Hartford, Weber, Pur-
ington and Emmons.
This afternoon Rev.. w. II. Carter.

called on j. w. Lambert, superintend-
ent of schools, and tried for an hour
to convince him that the punishment
of the boys were excessive and asked
him to give them some opportunity to
compromise the matter. He fatty re-
fused and told them they were succor-
ing a revolution. They assured him
they came as peacemakers and wanted
to reconcile matters.
The parents of the entire class are
against their children's graduating.

Of an examining board is adopted. The
board found that the cost of repairing

The Puritan, built about 90 years
