stead OF Thanksgiving afternoon, and Mid
dlebury high is to be here next week

after an unsuccessful season. 1t wa,
hoped to have the Proctor team come tC

CLEARED SCHOOLS
IN RECORD TIME
Fire Drill Came as Surprise to Pupils
High School Building Emptied
in Minute and Half

Some remarkably quick time was made
IN clearing the high school building and
the Canal street school building this fore
noon in response to a call for fire drill.
In both cases the call came without warn
ing to the pupils
In the high school building. where there
we're about 500 pupils, including both the
high school and the grades, there were
pupils on all three floors and sloyd
class in the basement, but the building
was cleared in a minute and half the
sloyd class leaving through the basement
door and the others going out through
the front and rear doors on the first
floor
There are about 200 pupils in the Canal
street building, on two floors, and while
there are three exits the enrolment in
cludes children who are smaller and nat
urally cannot get out of the building as
quickly those in the high school build
ing. Yet the Canal street building was
cleared in 30 seconds
| In both instances record time was
made although the pupils were not al.
lowed to run, which is testimonial to
the efficiency of the drill.
